To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 10:01:03 -0400 Subject: [PML1] CC: Linne Ahlstrand Languorous is the word for Linne Ahlstrand's centerfold (July 1958). It perfectly captures that long summer's afternoon when there's nothing to do except take advantage of the lovely naked girl stretched out on our daybed. This centerfold is a good example of my argument that a picture that is not explicit can still generate enough sexual heat to fry an egg. The heat in this case comes not so much from Linne herself (although she's a great looking woman) but from the total reality of the setting. It's almost like what I'm seeing is something I remember. I know I can hear the birds outside and the traffic from just over the garden wall. There is a feeling that the day is going to get hot but it's still comfortable now. This feeling extends to Linne. She's not just some model that's been talked out of her clothes, this is a woman I know well. I've been here before. This is comfortable territory. These are hills and valleys I want to roam again. The nuts and bolts here are first-rate, especially the rhythm set up by the window frame that gets an interesting variation in the back of the daybed.
