Subject: [PML1] CC: Kimberley Stanfield

In Kimberley Stanfield's centerfold (July 2001) we're on the porch with 
her and her jaybird. She's almost as naked.

I really wish I could like this centerfold more. Kim is stunning, and is 
a worthy addition to the list of excellent Playmates from Vancouver 
(What's in the water up there anyway?). I like the light, open feel, I 
like the drapes behind her head, I like the expression on her face, I 
like what the pose does in terms of showing off her figure - but I 
absolutely abhor what was done to her skin in the production process.

Somebody chose to eliminate all the detail from her face in her 
centerfold. Looking at it, either in person or in the Cyber Club scan, 
you might as well be looking at a blow-up sex toy or a mannequin. The 
fake skin in some fat suits looks more real than Kim's skin does in this 
photo. The appeal of taking an 8 x 10 negative and enlarging it to 11 x 
26 (or so) is the almost life-like quality of the print. Playboy toiled 
for years to get it right, built their reputation on it and then threw 
the quality away. Why?

Scoring:
Pin-up: 2.5
Erotic: 2.0
Artistic: 0.0

Overall: 1.9 out of 4.0

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: # 20. One 
of the few I've seen in OFM with the model sticking her tongue out but 
not looking hokey.
