Subject: [PML1] CC: Marianne Gravatte

In Marianne Gravatte's centerfold (October 1982) she's leaning against a 
post in our hunting lodge. One hunt is over; the other is about to begin.

For the most part, the settings of centerfolds are there to add spice, 
to make the posed studio shot into a situation that we can relate to. 
That's exactly what's happening here. I've spent zero time hunting, * 
but I can relate to the idea of a secluded getaway as a place for 
romantic encounters.

Worthy of mention here is the way the woods and textiles in the picture 
highlight Marianne's natural coloring. Dressing her (almost) in a bush 
jacket was a nice touch that amplifies the hunting theme.

Marianne has a very attractive body, but undramatic. It's the quiet dawn 
of figures, not the hurricane. The pose selected is very complimentary, 
and leaves little doubt in our minds that a sexual encounter with 
Marianne would be very pleasant.

Striking this point even farther home is her expression. Not sultry, not 
pouty, but yet full of sexual heat and invitation. She's a lady, not a 
tramp. We may find ourselves working hard to keep up with her. It would 
be an effort well rewarded.

*FWIW I'm not against hunting. It's simply a sport that never appealed 
to me, like off-road racing, bowling or basketball.
