Subject: [PML1] CC: Becky Delos Santos

In Becky Delos Santos' centerfold (April 1994) she's standing in the 
boarding lounge of an airport. We can only hope and pray that our flight 
will be delayed.

The background in this centerfold is an attempt to try something 
different. I'm glad that someone tried breaking away from the mold. I 
don't think the experiment was a total success. It's too busy, and the 
form strikes me as too random to be effective as an abstract.

The flight jacket and dogtag-like jewelry Becky is wearing add to the 
flight theme. The jacket is pulled back, providing a focus on Becky's 
chest and collarbones.

The pose is good in that it shows Becky to be supremely self-confident. 
A pose like this really lays the goods on the line. There's no place to 
hide. I find this to be an attraction. The pose also shows off the 
handiwork of Becky's plastic surgeon. I know some people go in for that 
kind of thing, but I don't.

Becky's expression was a good choice, showing interest, a good-natured 
challenge and more than a fair amount of desire. Unfortunately, it also 
hints at just how much hard work is involved in making a centerfold.

Update:

When I typed this critique I was dead sure that Becky was not a natural 
woman. Several list members are sure that she is. Assuming I was wrong 
and she is a natural woman, then I would say that her breasts are 
treated as if they were independent of Becky. This is not a look I care 
for. I like the self-assurance she shows in the centerfold. I think the 
look I'm wishing for has her jacket more along the edges of her breasts, 
so that they're still given a fine display but they look like an 
integral part of Becky. What I was noticing more than a fake/real 
quality was their separateness.
