Subject: [PML1] CC: Helle Michaelsen

In Helle Michaelsen's centerfold (August 1988) we're in the boathouse. 
If Helle has her way, we may miss the start of the race.

What is unique about the centerfold is the emphasis placed on Helle's 
pubic hair. Her shirt has a neckline that stops at roughly her pubic 
bone (Why do I never see a neckline like that?), and the resulting "V" 
directs our eyes. It's an interesting continuum from the first official 
appearance to Helle to the trimmed look of today.

If this were the only thing of note here it would be a pretty poor 
centerfold. Hair isn't the point; it's the lovely woman who sprouts it. 
Helle looks very good here. That same plunging neckline looks very good 
on her entire torso, accenting her breasts. The grey of her shirt could 
look very mousy, but the other colors balance it well enough to prevent 
that from happening.

Also in the anti-mouse camp is Helle's expression, the Playboy patent 
blend of innocence and invitation.

The only down note is her thighs. The shirt and her stockings combine to 
cut them up at an awkward place. I think either more or less skin would 
have been better.
