To: PML1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Heather Ryan From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 19:47:28 -0400 Heather Ryan's centerfold (July 1967) is testimony to the erotic power of eyes. For several years Heather had the dubious distinction of having the most negative reaction to her centerfold. When someone brought this up, several List members said "huh?" (or words to that effect) We found the problem was too dark eyes. For roughly 35 years I passed over this centerfold. It seemed like a shot of a wet, miserable lady standing in the fog in a monokini to earn a few bucks. Then I saw the scan. Now we have a centerfold! Adding light around her eyes makes Heather look stunning. Now I can tell why those Coast Guard guys were whooping and hollering when the centerfold was shot. The scan is a pretty good centerfold. There's a sense of airiness to the fog and to Heather. The drops on her legs and the obvious chill lend a strong sense of intimacy. The composition is pretty basic and entirely adequate. With Heather's eyes to warm up the proceedings, the fog lends an even lighting and focuses our attention on Heather. The swimsuit bottom is too much of a fig leaf for my current tastes, but it's O.K.
