Subject: [PML1] CC: Angel Boris

In Angel Boris' centerfold (July 1996) she's seated at a bar, sharing 
our martini and cigar.

I really wish this centerfold had been better. Angel is an angel, and 
can show a natural and genuine sexiness. However here she's posed in an 
extremely artificial and forced situation. I don't believe for a minute 
that any woman would sit like this any longer than necessary. Angel has 
been asked to arch her back, which is a good thing, but then her legs 
are in what is supposed to be a relaxed and random pose. The two images 
fight against each other, making it difficult to get a unified message 
as to her mood and intentions.

Her shoes in particular are a bad choice, giving her legs a very clunky 
and awkward feel. If you are going to have a model wear mules like this, 
she almost has to be standing up to look good at all.

Where this centerfold is good is in all the elements that have nothing 
to do with the model. So the photographer did a good job with the set. 
It's all for nothing if the subject of the photograph is posed as poorly 
as Angel was.
