To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 03:33:04 -0000 Subject: [PML1] CC: Shannon James College themes we've seen in centerfolds before (Dianne Chandler et al.) and we've seen pianos before (Sherry Arnett, et al.) but Shannon James' centerfold (May 2007) is the first time I can remember the two of them blended together. And a very good blend it is. At first all the warm tweedy tones and old papers made me think perhaps we were looking at a college dorm from the 1920's. Maybe I haven't been around much, but I don't recall any recent dorm rooms like this. I think the real purpose here is not retro, but a warm feeling that can draw us right into the frame. The pose -- elbows down and feet up -- is nothing new either. I'm not sure I would have picked it for Shannon. Another cup size and it would work. Poses like the ones in the PMOM feature where she is coming out of a red shirt in a pool hall work much better. In the pool hall she is jaw-dropping gorgeous. On the piano bench she looks pretty good. Like in so many centerfolds, it's Shannon's expression that pulls it out. It's light and fun. Just like the sheet music pun.

Maybe not as clever as the centerfold, but a much better pose. http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2007/05/centerfold-med.html http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2007/05/16-med.html Mark Tomlonson
