In Kata Karkkainen's centerfold (December 1988) we've snuck away from 
the other party revelers and are about to enjoy a quiet (or not) moment 
by the poolside.

I really want to like this centerfold. I love the way Kata looks, not 
only in her figure but also in her Betty Page coloring. What's getting 
in the way is the lace. It seems too much and way too random. The cover 
was much better. There the lace is in the right proportion, adding spice 
instead of trying to be the meat.

Part of my dislike can be traced directly to my aversion to running my 
hand over a woman who's wearing lace. Some fabrics feel pretty good 
between my hand and a feminine body, but lace seems too stiff and rough.

Also frustrating is that I can't think how the lace could have been 
handled better. I think it was a good choice for Kata in that it 
compliments her coloration very, very well. I just wish she had worn it 
differently.

The control of light here is outstanding at setting the mood and 
conjuring up an image of time and space. The water in the pool seems 
particularly inviting.

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: #40. The 
yellow is perfect!
