To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Lieko English From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2003 10:34:37 -0400 In Lieko English's centerfold (June 1971) she's sitting on a split rail fence (ala Elvgren) with an unmistakable look of invitation on her face. This is a nice centerfold, and I'm not damning it with faint praise. Lieko is a nice looking woman. She's got a nice smile. She had a photographer who was able to craft a nice picture. Some things to like: - the way Lieko is framed against the dark green tree with her shirt as a contrast - her plunging neckline - the way her hair wraps around and partially hides her face - the forms outlined by her legs, the fence and the tree This centerfold is so nice I could stand to look at it for hours. Playboy first breached the centerfold pubic barrier in January 1971, but it took a full year for it to make a gatefold return. In that context, the amount of exposure in Lieko's centerfold is worth noting. I remember how in 1971 I was swept away by this combination of explicitness and class. Some of Playboy's work from this time as they tried to sort out how Playboy was going to handle full exposure was far less successful.
