To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Kathy MacDonald From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2003 10:45:04 -0500 In Kathy MacDonald's centerfold (March 1969) she's stretched out in bed reading the Sunday morning comics. From the smile on her face, it may well be that in a little while we'll join her, and "do what other people do, on Sunday morning." In a collection of Peanuts comics, I discovered that the paper Kathy is reading dates from April 1968. This confirms what has been hinted at on this list in terms of the production schedule of the centerfolds and PMOM features in Playboy. The graphic construction of this centerfold is very strong and very, very subtle. For example, the creases in the pillow form rays moving out of (or into) Kathy's head. These draw our eyes to her wonderful face. The lines of the blankets and sheets and the paper on the left all bring our eyes toward the center of the frame and toward Kathy. It could be just me, but Kathy never looks really comfortable nude in front of the camera. She doesn't look like she's been tricked into being there; just maybe she had some reservations about the deal. She seems to be very modest. Maybe there was something else going on.
