To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Sharon Johansen From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 09:37:30 -0400 In Sharon Johansen's centerfold (October 1972) we've opened her tanning booth and discovered a wonderful surprise. UV poisoning be damned! I almost really like this centerfold. Sharon's body is very athletic and toned, and this pose shows that off very well. She's also got a figure that looks excellent when she lies down, and it was a good choice to have her do that here. Her legs form interesting angles, and I like the lights at the top of the frame, even though they scream "1970's" louder than a lime green polyester leisure suit. I also like the expression on her face. There's sexual heat in it, but the overriding emotion is of a California Girl that just wants to have fun. What holds this centerfold back is the position of her head. It seems uncomfortable and forced to have it laying flat against the tanning bed with no pillow. It reminds me in a way of a butterfly pinned down for examination. I'm drawing a blank when it comes to suggesting something better, and I think a fair case could be made that the good qualities of the rest of the pose justify this one minor flaw.
