Subject: [PML1] CC: Jennifer Miriam

In Jennifer Miriam's centerfold (March 1997) she's interrupting her ski 
preparations with her own suggestion of a winter sporting activity.

There are only two things wrong with this centerfold: denim lingerie and 
PhotoShop. PhotoShop makes its appearance in the preternatural contrast 
between Jennifer and the background (in the print centerfold). It wasn't 
as bad as Kim Stanfield's centerfold, but not as good as it is now. The 
problem with the lingerie is that it doesn't fit the mood of the pose. I 
think the alternate uses the fanciful material in a much better way.

The rest of the centerfold, especially Jennifer, is pretty darn good. 
Lot's of things to like, including the playful twinkle in her eyes. 
She's showing the modesty common in centerfolds of this time, but 
there's nothing obtrusive in the way it's handled.

I like the pose for the way it shows off Jennifer's breasts. I also like 
the subtle twist resulting from the over the shoulder glance she's giving.

The bright stripe down the middle is a good device to draw attention to 
the subject without drawing attention to the device.

This isn't one of Playboy's great centerfolds, but it is one of its nice 
ones.
