Mr. Playboy is recommending a vintage. One of the hallmarks of a great pin-up is the model communicating directly with the camera. Vanessa's biggest failing is that she doesn't do a good job of this. She is a stunning model, and her figure has every right to appear naked in our favorite magazine. Playboy has always been about more than just pretty parts: we need a good model as well. The other failing is the pose. I think there is just a bit too much pelvic thrust. I'm not talking about the fact that there is no hair where God put hair. Because Vanessa is thrust so far forward, a lot of pleasing lines around her pelvis are lost. I'm not sure how I feel about that Son of a Bacchus gaping at Vanessa. I'm glad the set dressers et al. are thinking about this stuff, but I wish they would do it with more class. Even with theses faults, I'm glad to see Vanessa as a Playmate. She may have trouble with a camera, but I think she would do all right with me. Photographer: Stephen Wayda Scoring: Pin-up: 2.0 Erotic: 3.0 Artistic: 1.5 Overall: 2.3 out of 4.0 Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: #1. This is the shot that should have been the centerfold. Had it been, I would have rated it in the 3.0-4.0 range. Direct, unmistakable connection with the viewer, a much better form around the pelvis, and still Vanessa'a smokin' body. http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2005/09/centerfold-med.html http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2005/09/01-lrg.html Mark Tomlonson
