To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Bebe Buell From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 12:18:56 -0400 In Bebe Buell's centerfold (November 1974) she's on the sofa, ready to have sex. Therein lies the problem. I've got nothing against sex, or even against a Playmate looking like she's interested in having it with me. But here it looks like Bebe is physically incapable of being interested in anything else. That vacant look on her face (I guess) is supposed to represent a total surrender to desire, but instead I get the feeling she's been pithed. Sex by itself is good, but sex and at least a little conversation is better. If you can get past the vacant eyes and expression, there are some decent things going on here. Bebe is a beautiful woman, and her pose emphasizes not her form but her softness and her touchability. I really get a strong sense that I am right there with her. The brown colors are attractive, but they do tend to wash out Bebe's complexion. The twining forms below her shoulders, both in her legs and her costume, add a great deal of interest. Unfortunately, the styling is only competent and no more. Bebe's a woman who deserved much better than the treatment she got in her centerfold.
