To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 10:33:35 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Denise McConnell In Denise McConnell's centerfold (March 1979) she's about to close the cabin door to give us some privacy. There are worse things that could happen in a cabin in the woods. This centerfold has arguably the most blatant phallic symbol of any Playboy gatefold. Yet it's handled with the same style and sophistication that Playboy has made itself known for. Proof, if any was needed, that a photo can be extremely erotic and fairly explicit without losing one iota of class. The door handle and the way Denise is holding it also makes it clear that she is closing the door, and expects no argument from us about it. She won't get it from me. The rough wood background and red dress were excellent choices for Denise. I like the highlight on her left leg. The leg and the brace on the door gently direct our eyes to Denise's face, where we are treated to her delightful smile. Along the way it would be well worth our effort to linger on the shape of those lovely legs. Since we've got a light right there to help us, we should also pay attention to her lovely bottom.
