Subject: [PML1] CC: Kia Drayton

In Kia Drayton's centerfold (December 2006) things are about to get hot and steamy. And 
you thought the Jacuzzi was warm!

What sets a pin-up away from porn is that in a pin-up one-on-one communication 
between subject and viewer is required. Maybe nothing more is implied than an after 
school trip to the malt shop, but a good pin-up (and centerfold) has the direct, personal 
communication we see in Kia's eyes. To have a face and a figure this jaw-dropping good 
just adds to the effect.

I love the different planes and lines in Kia's pose. It's easy to look at this flat image and 
imagine her in three dimensions. I think if Kia had a bit more pubic hair this effect would 
be heightened. She doesn't need the full natural, but a bit more would reinforce that lovely 
twist to the lower half of her torso.

I love the splash of blue from the bikini top. I like the bikini itself less so. It seems like a 
last minute addition, as if Kia were frozen in place and then the bra applied. I'm not quite 
sure how I'd change things to make them better.

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: #25, with the eyes open. Here 
the bikini seems natural.
