There are three big problems. First is the generally washed out feeling from the color scheme. How many fall co-ed centerfolds have we seen where the Playmate and everything else leap off the page? The second big problem is that the photograph doesn't do anything to flatter Jordan. Some great centerfolds (e.g. Angela Dorian and Sandy Johnson) have been taken of women who were tricky to photograph well. Not this time. In this shot Jordan's nose looks too wide and her figure dull and lumpy. The third and most serious problem for me is Jordan's cluelessness. Not just virginal, this is more like talking the Special Needs student out of her knickers. Expressions can be tricky to read in a still photograph, but I can't get over Jordan's utter disengagement from the viewer. Looking at the Cyberclub and PMOM shots reveals no excuse for this. Jordan can take a fantastic pin-up, and she deserves far better than she got. She deserved a production staff willing to make the effort to find that one photograph that made her look . . . well, like a Playmate. Photographers: Arny Freytag and Stephen Wayda Scoring: Pin-up: 0.5 Erotic: 1.0 Artistic: 0.0 Overall: 0.6 out of 4.0 Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: #12. Jordan's nose, while still large, doesn't look awkward and fits her face. This pose is also much more flattering to her figure and the darker tones make the same striped-arm sweater we saw in the centerfold work for Jordan rather than against her. http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2006/10/centerfold.html http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2006/10/12-lrg.html Mark Tomlonson
