Subject: [PML1] CC: Janet Quist

In Janet Quist's centerfold (December 1978) she's posing for the 
photographer. Therein lies the problem.

I know when I'm watching the latest effects-driven would-be Hollywood 
blockbuster that the actors that seem to fly are wearing wires. I know 
that the "Matrix Moment" was done with multiple cameras and a morphing 
program. The story, however, should be good enough that I don't care. It 
should be good enough that I can forget the mechanics of the thing and 
just go along for the ride.

Looking at this centerfold, I can almost hear the photographer giving 
Janet directions. The "story" is so weak the mechanics are showing. 
Janet's putting her arm up to frame her face because she's been told to. 
It shouldn't be this obvious. It could be that the creative staff 
thought the pose would work, and it didn't, or it could be that Janet 
wasn't able to work with them to give them the look they wanted. Not 
knowing the principals involved, I won't hazard a guess as to who came 
up short here.

Janet's erotic appeal is a result of her expressions more than her 
figure. Unfortunately, this pose does not bring out the best of either.
