To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Miriam Gonzalez From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2003 09:42:21 -0400 In Miriam Gonzalez' centerfold (March 2001) she's paused for a moment in that eternal game between lovers, and is letting us know she's ready to continue as soon as we are. There's a fair amount of complaining on this List, and with reason, about how similar Playmates have become, not only in their figure, but also in their race. Miriam is a welcome change from the prevailing pattern. Not only is she clearly Hispanic, but she has a figure that is very natural. The pose chosen is an excellent one for Miriam, showing off not only her lovely breasts but her legs as well. The light purple bustier is probably hiding a but of a tummy, but it fits so well into the geometric and color patterns established elsewhere in the centerfold that it doesn't seem to be a Band-Aid. The setting of the centerfold in the living room rather than a bedroom also breaks out of the cliche. The gothic arch frames Miriam's lovely face and hints this was probably taken in the Holmby Hills mansion. I wish Miriam had a slightly better expression on her face. It, like the centerfold, is very pleasing and inviting, just not killer.

It has also started drawing Playmates from a wider ethnic pool. Mark Tomlonson Kalamazoo MI
