To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Wed, 28 May 2003 10:09:09 -0400 Subject: [PML1] CC: Susie Owens In Susie Owens' centerfold (March 1988), she's in a cabin, riding diaphanous waves of sheer material and circled by a soft, even light. The artistic elements of this centerfold are just first rate. The colors are so soft, so delicate, but they never fade into just a huge white mass. The light looks consistent at first, but is full of very subtle variations. Several smaller lines moderate the strong diagonal of Susie leaning against the post. None of these ever threaten to overpower the centerfold and they all work together to create a symphony of outstanding design. Susie is about as lovely as a Playmate gets. She is blessed with a beautiful, communicative expression, a great face and a wonderfully proportioned body. So, what's not to like? For me, it's the expression chosen in the photograph. It lacks an element of directness that could make me, the viewer, more involved and make this centerfold an absolute killer. To a lesser extent, it's also Susie's pose. It works quite well graphically, but I have this nagging suspicion that she's going to need my help getting back into a standing position. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.
