To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 09:32:56 -0400 Subject: [PML1] CC: Audrey Daston In Audrey Daston's centerfold (March 1959) we find her at that sweet moment just as she decides to wait a bit before putting her clothes back on. Audrey's expression here tells the whole story. We're at the beach, it's just the two of us, and swimming is not the first thing on either of our minds. I don't know if Audrey worked to get this expression, if Larry Shiller waited until the moment was just right or if it was just a happy accident. Another amazing feature is the fig leaves. They were a fact of life when this shot was taken so it's not fair to complain about their being there. It is fair to note when they are well done as they are here. It's the same effect as modern low-rise jeans and just as attractive. Audrey's amazing, and she's posed in a way that really works well. That she's been placed at the bumper of a Mercedes speaks to the Playboy Style that Hef was trying to create. If it weren't for the reflection of Larry and his camera in the car bumper, we could almost believe this centerfold was a snapshot from our own album.
