Subject: [PML1] CC: Rusty Fisher

In Rusty Fisher's centerfold (April 1956) she's just moving into her 
apartment and is asking our opinion on her new print. The joke is that 
the modern print has so many weird angles that "no one" could tell if it 
were straight or not.

This centerfold owes a lot to erotica from the days preceding Our 
Favorite Magazine: the pose that is far more modest than erotic coupled 
with a knowing wink. We all know Rusty probably hangs pictures fully 
clothed, but this is how we see her in our dreams, not how she really is.

The use of color here is worth mentioning. The dark colors are all 
towards the bottom, but they're split up among several tones. This keeps 
them within the light and airy feel of the entire centerfold. Rusty's 
bent right knee gives her balance and draws our eyes to the right side 
of the frame where - lo and behold - we find Rusty's breasts. Rusty has 
a youthful figure worth spending time with. I'd say this even if the 
hammer in her pants didn't make her butt look big.

Here we're seeing the Playboy Style. Today we see more skin, but not 
more class.
