In Marion Scott's centerfold (May 1956) she's stolen our hat, and is now 
waiting for us to make something of it.

Once upon a time mechanical refrigeration was too expensive for home 
use. Just like Jonnie Nicely's milkman, the iceman would come into 
housewives' kitchens to deliver a load. Of ice. Marion's iceman has not 
only lost his hat but his tongs and ice as well. Might as well take a break.

I like the colors here, white and black with copper and tan accents. The 
ice on the cool black floor is a direct tie to Marion's black panties. 
It's a surprising theme for a fifties centerfold, predating the cool 
black of the eighties and nineties.

I love the expression on Marion's face. It's going to happen, but she's 
looking for a bit of the chase, maybe a game or two before we finally 
get down to business.

A major down point here is Marion's posture. It does give a sinuous and 
slightly mysterious look to the affair but that's more than outweighed 
by the way it confines Marion's arms and legs. She should be welcoming 
us with open arms. Etc. That probably had to wait a few years.
