To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Miki Garcia From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2003 20:07:09 -0500 In Miki Garcia's centerfold (January 1973) we're in her boudoir and she's showing us her jewels. For a time in the late sixties "retro" meant a "Victorian" style. Rich brocades, intricate prints and dark colors were high fashion. I think it's a toss-up as to whether we're seeing that in this centerfold or if we're seeing an evocation of a Storeyvile bawdyhouse. Either way it works pretty well. The light is dark where it needs to be dark and light where we want a full view of the proceedings. Although she seems to have had some trouble with it of late, I have no problem with Miki's selection as a Playmate. She has a wonderful, natural physique. It's not athletic and toned so much as it is supple and fit, a look I prefer. She looks especially good with a vertical torso, and I'm glad to see that's what we have here. Her expression is good as well. It's a blend of invitation and innocence. It says, "I'm nice to talk to" as much as it says, "I'm nice to make love to." There are several worse combinations in a woman, and none better come to mind.
