It's quite possible we'll even get to the presents Saskya bought for us. The thing I love most about this centerfold is how it respects Saskya. The dark earth colors in the set echo her lovely brunette hair making her pale skin seem alive and ready to touch. The lighting is not dramatic, but it doesn't matter. Saskya's pose is perfectly matched to her wonderful figure. It's not just her breasts that receive homage here, but her stomach, her hips and her legs. Her expression is also well chosen, reflecting gratitude and delight. Those are wonderful things to find in the naked woman laying beside you, but they are not the same as sexual heat. Saskya can be hot as hell, but I love that here she is desirable in more than just a single way. Providing graphic balance to Saskya's brilliant smile and jewelry is the decorated tree. This kind of balance in a centerfold was a hallmark of the old masters like Posar and Casilli, and it's delightful to see the tradition continue.
