To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 09:15:46 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Gillian Bonner In Gillian Bonner's centerfold (April 1996) she's leaning up against a pillar in a formal garden. The ivy twines around her feet, and a yellow fishnet twines around her body. A centerfold can take a lot of time to produce. For a variety of reasons, poses in front of the large-format cameras used must be held for a relatively long time. When centerfolds are at their best, a viewer is completely unaware of the process. Then there are centerfolds like this one. Gillian seems as stiff as a board here. Neither her arms nor her legs fall in any kind of natural or free location. She's a buff lady, and her muscle tone here adds to the feeling of stone and ossified joints. What rescues the shot from total disaster is Gillian's figure and her face. Her figure isn't spectacular, but it's one of the ones that remind hetero men why they like looking at naked women. Gillian's expression seems like she's trying to do what the photographer is asking, but yet it retains a gentleness and directness that is a welcome relief from the rest of the centerfold. The yellow also brings out human, rather than stone skin tones.
