To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 09:31:25 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Jonnie Nicely In Jonnie Nicely's centerfold (August 1956) we've just made a delivery, and she's inviting us in. Maybe she likes our clean, starched uniform with the cow embroidered over the pocket. As difficult as it may be to believe, there was a time when bread and milk were delivered to your home. I'm old enough to remember the cork and metal milk box on the north side of the house. My cousins' milkman actually walked in the back door and put the milk in their refrigerator. Obviously, the idea of regular visits by a man to house after house occupied by women gave rise to all kinds of nudge, nudge, wink, wink stories. Milkmen themselves probably started most of them. It's that fantasy we see played out here to wonderful effect. Jonnie's pose is reminiscent of the pin-ups of Vargas et al. The stripes in her pants emphasize the dramatic diagonal swoop of the picture. It also makes her figure look fantastic within the confines of fifties propriety. Jonnie's expression has a big role to play here as well. It's hard to imagine an invitation being more direct, yet it retains an element of sweetness that plays very well on Jonnie.
