Subject: [PML1] CC: Brooke Richards

In Brooke Richards' centerfold (December 1999) she's paused in the 
middle of the action to consider what to do next. We can hope it will 
involve us, but maybe not.

I am definitely a fan of an unforced pose, one where the model is in a 
position found in nature. Driving the erotic appeal of Brooke's 
centerfold is that women actually pose like this in real life, but only 
when they're our lovers.

I really like how having Brooke run her hands through her hair in front 
of the mirror plays up what beautiful hair she has. The matte finish on 
the mirror and the backlighting combine to give her face a dreamy kind 
of appearance. Even better than what's going on with her hair is what 
raising her arms do to her curves. Good choices all around.

I also like the choice of the large gold fishnet. It's subtle enough 
that you can kind of gloss over it if you want, but the added sparkles 
show off Brooke in a way that shouldn't be missed.

The mechanics of the composition are very strong as well, with the arch 
of the mirror working well to hold the whole thing together.

Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: none 
really, but #11 does have its merits.
