Subject: [PML1] CC: Cheryl Kubert

In Cheryl Kubert's centerfold (February 1958) we've just said something 
incredibly stupid and are about to ruin the whole deal.

So why rate this centerfold, one without any naughty bits, so highly? 
Because it does such a great job of capturing the moment. It's a very 
real moment. Everyone on this List can probably point to at least one 
time where they saw a similar look on their partner's face. Maybe you 
recovered and completed the task you originally set out to complete, 
maybe not.

The point is that the implied situation rings so true. It doesn't hurt, 
either, that Cheryl looks pretty good here. The make-up and hair are 
perfect. Overstyled for contemporary tastes, but still very good. 
Cheryl's eyes in particular are very well drawn. They're bright and 
open, and add a great deal of life to Cheryl's expression.

The artistic values are in line with the other elements. The colors are 
bold and true. The window on the right divides the frame into vertical 
stripes, and these stripes are echoed in Cheryl's sweater. The 
horizontal sill at the bottom keeps our eyes within the frame.

It's a nice early effort by one of Playboy's finest photographers.
