To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Deanna Baker From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 09:46:25 -0500 In Deanna Baker's centerfold (May 1972) she's on a wicker chair in her sunroom. It looks like it's time for us to quit admiring the flowers. I think this centerfold approaches perfection. Working from the background forward, the light and airy window with the potted plants in front of it set the mood for the centerfold. Going with a wicker chair in the lower part of the centerfold continues the same look but by a completely different means. The openness of the wicker chair matches the openness of the flowers on the shelves. The colors all fit with Deanna, of course. She's one of the most attractive Playmates of her time, and this pose is perfect for her. The way she's holding the purple flowers could have looked extremely fake, except for the way the angle of her head and her expression work with it. She's been toying with the flowers, just like she's been toying with the idea of exactly what to do with us. The fig leaf fits this too. There is just enough tease to match the theme of being toyed with. There's nothing forced or artificial. It all seems utterly spontaneous and without plan.
