To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2003 12:19:09 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Nancy Nielsen In Nancy Nielsen's centerfold (April 1961) she's suggesting a break in our musical adventure. I get a very schizoid message from this centerfold. First, I think Nancy looks very sexy in this pose. Not only do we get an extended view of some very long and curvaceous legs; we also get a nice pose for her breasts and a smile to match the overtly sexual nature of her costume. On the other hand, she's bent over so tight that had to hurt for as long a time as we've been led to believe it takes to shoot a centerfold. On the whole I'd have to say this shot is more successful than not. The sexy and desirable elements, in the end, win out over the technical details. The use of framing which makes for that sense of discomfort also is an interesting change from the normal Playboy fare. Having Nancy crouch over like that gives a kind of "ship in a bottle" feel that isn't bad at all. The best thing about the pose is how well it suits Nancy. I can't see Lindsey Vuolo (for example) or Kim Stanfield looking very good in it, but it works for Nancy.
