It looks as though we'll just have to concentrate on something else. This is a "retro" centerfold in several respects. The most obvious is the well- deserved emphasis on Tishara's breasts. Secondly is the setting- a dark, cozy male study - and the emphasis on an implied situation - an office romance. Hef said at its founding that he wanted his magazine to celebrate the indoor sports, and that's what we have. Thirdly, and a bit more subtle, is the male presence. The tie draped over Tishara implies it here. What puts this centerfold into the nineties is its busy-ness. There are a lot of lines happening, especially in the left-hand side of the picture, but they all manage to gel into a cohesive whole, defining and extending the warm, reddish glow of the lighting. Also, the office romance hinted at may not be with our secretary, but with a co-worker or even our boss. Whomever she represents, Tishara is letting us know that the Quarterly Report can wait.
