To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Laurie Wood From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 22:17:54 -0400 Laurie Wood's centerfold (March 1989) was a gift to her husband. It's not so surprising perhaps that it seems to work much better on the erotic level than as a pin-up. "Awkward, awkward, awkward" is usually the first thought that runs through my mind when I look at this centerfold. Everything seems to have gone, as my daughters' ballet teacher says, "Skee-Wiffy." Laurie's arms are in an uncomfortable position, my back hurts just looking at they way hers is twisted, and I can't imagine holding my legs like that for very long. The second thought that runs through my mind is how attractive Laurie is. That bent back really shows off her softness. She's neither anorexic nor zaftig, but the happiest blend of the two. Playboy rarely does a crotch shot in their centerfold but when they do it's usually done with this level of class and refinement. In looking at a pin-up, I want my thoughts to run toward the erotic, not the gynecological. I love the contrast in texture between the lace stocking, the downy pubic hair and the shiny shoe. The colors and lighting are first rate. Soft whites and tans definitely play to Laurie's strengths.
