Unfortunately, it's a smudged Xerox, not a clone. The first smudging is around her hips. By having her twist slightly, two bad things happen. First, her left leg is put under tension and a lump forms in her thigh. It's a natural lump, but not the most attractive element to have in a pin-up. The second thing that happens is an emphasis on the "I have to go potty" look that for some reason has found favor among recent Playboy centerfolds. But the worst smudging is around her face. I think they were after the freshly tossed, informal look in her hair. What they got was merely uncombed. The look on Alesha's face speaks to me of a woman who hasn't a clear notion of what a smile is. The result is more forced and goofy than sexy. The look suggests a snapshot a sorority sister would use for blackmail. Alesha was done wrong in this photo. She's a very attractive and sexy woman, one of the few with "enhanced" breasts that I find tolerable. But not here.
