To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2003 09:29:20 -0400 Subject: [PML1] CC: Shallan Meiers In Shallan Meiers' centerfold (September 2002) she has surrendered to passion, throwing herself on the chaise, waiting only for us to have our way with her. This can be a tricky emotion to portray in a still photograph and still keep to Playboy's high standards. There's nothing wrong here, and I get the nagging feeling that I should be wowed by this centerfold. I'm not. It's not Shallan. She's got a fantastic figure and one that's a welcome alternative. In this pose in particular I'm reminded of the joys of letting my hands skate over the landscape of a reclining woman. Shallan has everything you could want in a Playmate, both in the trademarked and non-trademarked versions. Maybe it's the French Provincial. I've never been a fan of that style, even now when Playboy can reproduce the delicate whites at their best. It probably all boils down to individual taste. Some centerfolds allow me to point directly to something that's wrong or right. I can't do that here. Some allow me to point up a matter of style that catches my eye. I can't do that here either. I guess I'll just have to enjoy looking at Shallan.
