This centerfold is very close to being a good one. The bold red/black/tan color scheme is great. It hasn't been used very often as a little bit of it goes a long way, but in this case I want to say, "Bring it on!" Those boots fit Serria and the mood perfectly. We get a full dose of the inventiveness and wit that has reappeared in Playboy centerfolds of late. Not only is this pose close to unique, but the setting is as well. The shadowy male figures hark back to Janet Pilgrim's first centerfold, but we've never seen them arranged like this before. Serria gets a stellar showcase here. Her figure and especially her breasts look marvelous. The other bits are in fine fettle as well. So what's to gripe about? Number one, it's her expression. I know expressions can be the most subjective of subjects, but Serria's trying way too hard to show off those pearly whites. Secondly, the background pattern is too big. Smaller windows would have been much better and detracted less from Serria. Photographers: Stephen Wayda and Arny Freytag Scoring: Pin-up: 1.5 Erotic: 2.0 Artistic: 1.5 Overall: 1.7 out of 4.0 Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: I don't know if there is any picture in the portfolio that I can point to and say, "This is the shot that should have run." However #10 captures a sly attitude that works very well in the telescope/balcony scene and is a charmer to boot. http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2002/11/centerfold.html http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2002/11/10-lrg.html Mark Tomlonson Kalamazoo MI
