In Hope Olson's centerfold (October 1976) we've snuck off to the barn 
for some afternoon delight.

Let me start out by stating the obvious: Hope comes across as one 
gorgeous woman. It's a completely natural, girl next door look and it 
could be different but never better.

The real standout though is the lighting. It defines how to make pale 
skin look great. Hope's skin never looks porcelain hard or 
cadaverous. There's life there. Every tone of human skin can look 
stunning, and here we see how to do it with this one. Not only does 
the light work so well for Hope; it adds a sense of dreaminess and 
fantasy to the centerfold.

I really like how Hope's costume fits in with this aspect of the 
lighting. I don't see how anything but gauze cold have worked here.

I could write a lot more than 200 words about how Hope comes across 
in her centerfold. The only downer, and it's a small one, is the 
position of her left hand. It's too forced. Maybe it's all that could 
be gotten out of the model. I'm not going to worry about it. I'll 
just think about the good things.
