In Avis Miller's centerfold (November 1970) she's lying on the floor, in 
a pose and setting that has to be repeated by lovers literally thousands 
of times a day.

In 1970 The Sixties were still going strong. Haight-Ashbury was over, 
and Altamont and Kent State and Jackson had taken its place, but when we 
think of the "Sixties" forty years on 1970 was in the thick of it. Here 
we have a Centerfold that is smack dab in the middle of Fifties Cool. 
Late night smoke-filled clubs, Sinatra, Bruce, Ella. A reflection of 
Hef's isolation, perhaps, but also proof that it's much easier for 
Grandparents to understand youth than parents.

This is the perfect pose for Avis. She is a striking, attractive woman, 
but with a figure that usually isn't considered pin-up material. Here 
she looks great. Her breasts look better than in other poses. We know 
from the look on her face the evening isn't just starting, nor is it 
finished. We also know we're not "on the clock", she's here because the 
two of us have found something in common.

Even in 1970, "Fifties' Cool" had a lot going for it.

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: none, but 
#3 is an interesting alternate to the centerfold
