Subject: [PML1] CC: Tylyn John

In Tylyn John's centerfold (March 1992) she's stretched out on a 
motorcycle, inviting us to join her for a ride.

The pose and the lighting make this centerfold a real winner. Tylyn's 
soft curves are laid out to their best advantage, and our eyes are 
invited to trace over those curves for hours. If only our hands would 
receive the same invitation! Using the flared lines of a motorcycle 
fender as a basis for Tylyn's pose was a great touch. What's even more 
amazing is the lack of the "Playmate-from-the-skylight" look so common 
in the nineties. Real women actually lay like this.

The colors are well chosen, the black and reds playing well off Tylyn's 
titian hair and light skin tones.

What doesn't work so well is Tylyn's expression. It's one of those that 
betray the fantasy of the centerfold. It's too easy to look at her face 
and realize that Tylyn has probably spent many hours getting this pose 
just right. Just a slight change would have made a huge difference, but 
maybe that wasn't possible. For whatever reason, I don't see any photo 
of Tylyn that makes me believe she was entirely happy being a Playmate.
