In Dolly Read's centerfold (May 1966) she's decided to show us the 
goods, or at least as many of the goods as she could show in 1966.

That's why this is a centerfold my wife has never liked. Heterosexual 
woman that she is she finds the pose fake and contrived. Heterosexual 
male that I am I find it tapping into a lot of my daydreams. Many, many 
times I've wished that the woman who had caught my eye would have turned 
around and assumed Dolly's pose. Alas, with one notable exception, she 
never has.

The pose isn't the only thing that recommends this centerfold. Dolly's 
face alone could bring me back many times. It's a pleasant mix of cute, 
sophisticated, accessible and friendly. The hairstyle, although straight 
out of its time, is very flattering and complimentary to Dolly.

As much as I enjoy the thought behind the pose it's not the most 
flattering or complimentary to Dolly. Her breasts do not have the 
well-defined curves that she shows in many of the shots in the 
portfolio. In addition to the alternate, the shots taken while she's 
standing in the pool are much better in that regard.

Update:

I painted with too broad a brush in describing my wife's motives. 
Suffice it to say she doesn't like "flash" poses for her own reasons.
