In Bonnie Marino's centerfold (June 1990) she's standing outside her 
house, issuing a challenge. Several tricky things are tried here, and 
all of them succeed.

It's very easy to take the kind of challenge Bonnie has on her face and 
turn it into a threat. There's a whale of erotic difference between "Are 
you man enough for me?" and "Touch me and die, wimp!" but yet only a 
minute difference in the actual expression.

Playing peek-a-boo with body parts is also a game that's difficult to 
play. With Bonnie, probably as much for her attitude as her posture, it 
works and works very well. We're getting a preview, not some forced 
cover-up.

Even those socks with the little puffs on them that women seem to like 
so much work well here. I'm not all that big a fan of lace, but here 
we've got the right amount in exactly the right place.

Even some things that aren't that tricky are done well. Bonnie's hair, 
the tilt of her head, the combination of the plain white and checked 
costume, the way the shoes echo but don't imitate the skirt, the subtle 
highlight on Bonnie's face: all are done in top form.
