In the late 1950's LP's like "Music To Have Fun By" and similar titles 
were popular. In Yvette Vickers' centerfold (July 1959) she looks like 
she's putting on one of those and from the looks of the mess on the 
floor, it's side 2.

Yvette has an expression on her face that for me slips back and forth 
between two emotions: "Let's do it again!" and "Oh God, please! Not 
again!". The low rating in the erotic category is a reflection of my 
settling on the latter reading.

Meyer is known for his love of the voluptuous, and that is definitely 
highlighted in Yvette's hips and legs. Her hips in particular are as 
full and round as some of the breasts that are never quite bared in Russ 
Meyer's movies.

The artistic component gets a high rating not for composition, but 
because of the strong story that's hinted at. The mess on the floor, 
Yvette stretched out on the couch, her scrunched up blouse and tousled 
hair all point to a lot of activity taking place just moments ago. It 
wasn't a rousing game of Mah-jongg.
