Subject: [PML1] CC: Venice Kong

In Venice Kong's centerfold (September 1985) she's taking a break from 
scootering across campus, and is trying to interrupt our studies.

Venice is proof that Playboy can attract some of the loveliest women in 
the world. It's not only her exotic demeanor, but she can convey a 
wonderful command of her own body. No Junior High awkwardness here.

The color palette in her centerfold is great. Not only are these fall 
colors personal favorites of mine, but they also do wonders for Venice. 
Add a tweed suit, and this centerfold ought to be off my erotic chart. 
But it isn't.

The problem lies in Venice's pose. I'd have to check, but we could be 
seeing the first of the "I have to go potty" semi-fig leafs that were so 
popular for a while. A couple of times the pose has worked but it 
usually is the disappointment we see here. The problems continue above 
Venice's waist. That best thing that can be said for twisting her around 
in this setting is that her figure doesn't suffer. I wish Venice didn't 
look like she was suffering from bad direction.

A centerfold that could have been, and should have been better.
