When I was growing up in the sixties and seventies, a lot of fifties style seemed foolish to me. This centerfold is a good example of why I felt that way. The style and mores of the time required Dolores to have at least some covering. As a result of that the most attention here is to her lovely face and bewitching eyes at the expense of the rest of her body. That's almost a crime here because it overlooks what is truly an outstanding bottom. Yes it's there, and yes you can see it without too much effort, but to my more modern eyes that butt should have been front and center. This isn't "cool", a style I like very much. Maybe if it was, if we had that bare bottom, I'd like it better. A clear standout here is the use of light. It's not just the amount of light that's good, but its color and the way it seems to grow out of the bottom edge of the picture. The wrought iron threatens to be overly fussy, but never crosses the line.
