To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Karen Christy From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 14:42:38 -0500 In Karen Christy's centerfold (December 1971) she's waiting for our attentions. Anybody with a "smells like a fish" joke will be promptly removed from the room! I seriously doubt there's a visual pun intended here. I think the placement of the fishbowl is meant as a cross between a fig leaf and a magnifying glass. It succeeds at both. The amount of time I spent staring at that bowl 30 years ago is better left unstated. If you're going to do a full-frontal, total nude shot like this the model had better be up to the scrutiny. Karen is. She's a lot more cute than glamourous, but that shouldn't be a crime in anybody's book. She's also got the amount of weight generally found on thin women. It's unfortunate in more ways than one that she'd be considered fat by today's standards. One of the many pleasant thoughts her figure generates is that maybe she could live next door, a feeling I don't always get today. Her pose has enough tension to give the whole affair life. The colors work with Christy's light skin and blonde hair. While the red threatens, it never overpowers the airy feeling of the light.
