To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 09:48:05 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Roberta Vasquez In Roberta Vasquez' centerfold (November 1984) she's working out, and seems a bit surprised at our suggestion for another type of rep on the weight bench. What I like most about this centerfold is the expression caught on Roberta's face. It gives her a very patrician look, one of my favorites. Her mouth is open just the right amount. One of the things I hate about some of the cheaper men's magazines is how often the models have their mouths agape in some parody of sexual passion. Here Roberta seems utterly natural. The combination of her warm brown skin, dark hair, red lips and white teeth is stunning. I could come back to it again and again. Less stunning but still very attractive is the way she's posed. Pulling down on the exercise machine puts a delightful tension in her torso, adding life and a sense of suppleness. I want to put my hand on her just to feel the muscles working. The red leotard ties the picture together, and it and the hair band put this picture squarely in the 1980's. The play of the cool metal against Roberta's skin is a pleasing contrast.

That's not what I meant to say at all! What I was trying to get across is that there is more than one area of Roberta that's worth our attention. Mark Tomlonson Kalamazoo MI
