Subject: [PML1] CC: Donna Edmondson

In Donna Edmondson's centerfold (November 1986) she's changing clothes. 
It's hard to tell if they're coming off or going on, and the possibility 
that they were coming off and will now soon go back on seems too likely.

There is a difference between being virginal and being clueless. In 
almost all of her Playboy work, Donna appears virginal. Part of that I'm 
sure is the emphasis Playboy placed on her inexperience. That's usually 
left for us to guess (with the occasional strong hint dropped here or 
there), but I don't remember it ever being this blatant. At any rate, 
Donna's freshness and eagerness for life (if not for sex) is deservedly 
brought front and center in all of her Playboy pictures except one.

This one.

It's partly the tentativeness in her pose. She's not taking a strong 
stand in any sense of the word. The biggest culprit is the expression 
that's been caught on her face. The only caption I can provide is "Why 
do you want me to put my hand there?" Clueless, not virginal.

Some things can't be hidden, among them are Donna's wonderful body, well 
served by this pose and the blue highlights.
