Subject: [PML1] CC: Gwen Hajek

In Gwen Hajek's centerfold (September 1987) we're late. She's been 
keeping herself amused on this hot evening by telling fortunes. From the 
look on her face we'd better have a good excuse. But if we have one . . .

The implied situation in this centerfold, the little story it tells, is 
very strong. It taps into the basic struggle to balance alone time and 
together time that marks every relationship. To tell a story this strong 
while still keeping the sexual tension this hot is one of the things 
that marks this photo as a Playboy product. I love when these elements 
combine like we see here.

Gwen's got a great pose, especially the relationship of the lines of her 
legs to the lines in the porch swing. Most Southern Belles don't wait 
for their Gentlemen Callers in quite this stage of undress, but I know 
more than a few Gentlemen who wish they would.

The only down note is Gwen's panties. While my experience is limited, no 
woman I know will wear her delicates in this position for more than 
about five seconds. The white highlight is good, but maybe there could 
have been another way.

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: # 18. The 
headshot's killer as well
