To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 15:31:38 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Shannon Long In Shannon Long's centerfold (October 1988) she's laying down, waiting for us to make the next move. We're not talking checkers. It's interesting that Shannon, given such an "Aussie" emphasis in her PMOM feature draws on so many Native American themes in her centerfold - the leather, the turquoise, and the feathers. I'm not complaining. The eroticism of this centerfold is its strong point. With Shannon lying like this you just want to dive right in for a two-hour cuddle. Or something. Unlike most women, Shannon (at this time anyway) could lie on her back while her breasts stayed on her chest. That's unusual without the intervention of Dow Chemical. It's something I won't complain about seeing! The lighting and the set as well as the pose contribute to this strong sense of the erotic, and of course there's Shannon's expression as well. The only down note is her knees. In the rest of the picture she's very inviting, but the knees come across as a chastity belt. As long and limber and attractive as they are, I would have looked for a different pose to show them off. Their invitation/rejection pulls down an otherwise outstanding effort.
