As playmates go, Rebecca is old. The problem facing Playboy is that while a woman in her late thirties can be very beautiful in the same sense as a younger woman, it's a different ballgame. Skin doesn't have the same tone, gravity has been at work longer, and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune leave scars. Rebecca is shown here to great success. She has a dramatic figure that maintains a strong sense of proportion. The lingerie is well placed, never taking away from this great figure. The lighting is dark, not to mute Rebecca's skin, but to compliment it's darker tones. It also draws our eyes to the center, forcing us to consider Rebecca instead of the scenery. Can you ask more of a pin-up? I really like the pose for the way it invites us to move in close. Rebecca seems just moments from an embrace. Not so well done is Rebecca's smile. She looks like she's been holding it a long time. The portfolio shots show how good her smile can be.
