Subject: [PML1] CC: Heidi Sorenson

In Heidi Sorenson's centerfold (July 1981) she's leaning against the arm 
of a chair, issuing a clear invitation that can be mistaken for nothing 
else.

Heidi's fantastic body is what this centerfold is all about. It's been 
lit in a way that plays up its warmth and smoothness. There is a natural 
quality to it. It's not the rock-hard tone of an athlete, but neither is 
it the soft roundness of a Ruebens subject. Heidi's torso has been 
arranged in a way to show off the classic female form. No compromises 
have been made in its position, nothing needs to be covered up, and we 
can enjoy the reasons the female nude has been a subject for artists for 
centuries.

Heidi's expression is good, but it's a minor element here. We get a bit 
of the big hair blowing in the fan that was popular in the eighties, but 
it's subtle enough that we can see why the look became popular in the 
first place.

The underlying composition is first rate, but also a minor element. Its 
biggest contribution is showing off Heidi's torso without turning her 
into an object. Her pose indicates this is a real person, not marble.
