To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 18:28:45 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Brandi Brandt In Brandi Brandt's centerfold (October 1987) she's on the beach at sunset, unsure if she should take us up on our proposal or not. After Brandi, the strong point of this centerfold for me is its domesticity. We aren't in a high fashion, high paced, yuppified world here. It's Brandi's folk's place by the lake, and the two of us are up for the weekend to get better acquainted with the whole family. We've snuck away, and now Grandpa's old Adirondak chair is going to get some of the same uses he and Grandma have gotten out of it. It's an interesting extension and take on the idea of the Girl Next Door. Like the killer sunset, that's all background to Brandi herself. She has a stunning body, but it's not supermodel thin, it's proportioned like the Girl Next Door. The pose and the way her clothing is arranged play up her strong points. Her expression looks like she's only thinking of us, a good attitude in any pin-up. I also like the canting of the frame. It's not often done in a centerfold. As a matter of fact, it's the only one I can think of.
