This is the second of three centerfolds to have this theme. It's not as good as the first, better than the third. I will admit in the interests of full disclosure one of the reasons I like this centerfold is that from the neck down, Ashley reminds me of an old girlfriend. (For the neck up, see Joan Bennett). Irrespective of her resemblance to anyone else, she looks very good. The pose selected for her is absolutely perfect. One interesting note is the placement of her left foot. It's separate from the lines defined by the leg above it, but yet it adds a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the picture. I really like the way the backgrounds are handled here, getting less complex as we move from right to left. The red floral rug leads our eyes into the bedroom. Large floral patterns are perhaps my least favorite, but they work well here and tie in with the shoes at the bottom of the frame. All work together well to take us to another time and place.
