Time and time again, politicians make small errors that become big ones when they try to cover them up. A local school board tried to censor a student newspaper over a trivial piece "to protect their image" that ended up making them look like jackaninnies. Here we see an "offensive" nipple covered up by a rose petal, drawing our attention to it more than if it had not been there. I'm convinced this is false modesty and not art because of the color of the rose. If it were a darker or lighter shade you could talk me into the artistic expression. This color is too close to what it tries to cover. It's more striking because the rest of the palette is so well done. Without this clumsy attempt at modesty this would be a great centerfold. Jacquelyn has a stellar figure and it's given a fine display here. I love the position of her arm and I love the look on her face. I love the choice of her slacks, which give modesty without striking the false note of the rose.
