To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Connie Kreski From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 23:03:20 -0400 In Connie Kreski's centerfold (January 1968) our New Year's celebration shows every indication that it will not be ending, at least for a little while. There are blondes and then there are blondes. There are California Blondes, Nordic Blondes, and Dutch Blondes. Then there are Midwestern Blondes. It's not hair color, but style. I could walk out of my office onto the WMU campus and easily find young women who could pass as Connie's not-so-distant cousins. For me, Connie is the Girl Next Door, not only in spirit but almost in fact, as her birthplace is less than fifty miles from my own. In her centerfold she does an excellent job of communicating an intimate and private feeling. This celebration will not involve six more of our nearest and dearest friends; it's just going to be the two of us, and it's going to happen pretty soon. The gift Connie is holding is an excellent highlight in the center of the photo, drawing our eyes not only into the photo but to the bed, pillows and champagne bottle that define the implied situation. This highlight, as important as it is, is only a minor point compared to Connie's lovely expression.
