To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 11:08:46 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Merle Pertile In Merle Pertile's centerfold (January 1962) she's been waiting up late for us, and has fallen asleep on top of the covers. This centerfold comes so close! Merle's peignoir is just transparent enough to be a peek-a-boo without hiding the lines (or hair) beneath. As a tot I enjoyed the game to no end, and I don't mind playing it here. Posing her lying on the bed brings out her softness and curves. The problem comes because the centerfold can never quite make up its mind whether it's a vertical or horizontal composition. Merle's neck is too straight for her to be lying down, but her hair is too poofed for her to be upright. I can almost hear the editorial staff saying, "Let's give it a try." I'm glad they tried, but I'm even more glad they didn't try again. Just as Liv Lindeland should be remembered for more than the explicitness of her centerfold, Merle deserves to be remembered for more than a failed centerfold experiment. She was a very attractive woman. I may be supposing too much, but she looks like she could have kept her physical beauty for her entire life.
