Subject: [PML1] CC: Karen McDougal

In Karen McDougal's centerfold (December 1997) she's cooling off after 
playing in the snow, and is now considering the possibility of getting 
warm all over again.

This is a great pose for Karen. I love what it does for her long shapely 
legs and near-perfect bottom. I think it's her best look.

The setting works for her tan and December very well. The white fur 
boots and the "frost" on the window add the chill, while her tan and 
smile take it off. The forest outside is a simulation, but a good one, 
just like her breasts. The bunny works because it's not asked to do 
anything a bunny wouldn't do, and it's also a possible play on a Playboy 
icon.

The whole setting abounds with several nice touches. The framing of the 
window around Karen is particularly well done.

Holding things back for me is Karen's expression. Her face is one of the 
best in Playmatedom, but here it looks just a little too tired and weary 
to be really effective in communicating what should be a very welcome 
invitation. Just a couple more tries might have cured that, or perhaps a 
couple less.

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: #39, even 
with the resemblance to Joyce Nizzari's centerfold
