Return of a Classic

Back in 1995, Rhonda Adams was a woman who painted a picture of what Playmates were supposed to look like for years to come. She had a fresh, modern look, more advanced posing technique, and better photographic qualities for the later half of the 90's. Rhonda's influence extends into the 2000's, where many Playmates still replicate her style today.

If you disagree, just think about it. Before Rhonda, the only other Playmate to bring a more edgy style into the forefront was Elisa Bridges, who would hardly be comparable to many girls we see today. After Rhonda, we saw Alicia Rickter, Gillian Bonner, and several other revolutionary Playmates take it a step further. But it was still Rhonda's appeal and maturity that took centerstage in the transformation.

A new serving of Miss Adams just hit the Cyber Club. Her test shots, which sparked these winds of change, have been released.

The pictorial is fresh and sexy, as for usual Rhonda fare. Let's just say that her body looks as sharp as ever. Rhonda's main point, as I've observed of her over time being a fan, is that she exudes youth physically, but she has an uncanny aura of maturity. Rhonda was only in her early 20s when she started posing, but when she got dressed up, she looked like a finely aged queen of sexuality. This photo, for example, pits Rhonda in her natural environment... sensible and perfectly proportioned. Rhonda never went overboard, and always did just enough in her photos to come out gorgeously.

With all of her grown-up sensibilities, she still looks ravishing when she's playful. Here, for instance, she's still in her element. Pic 12 is a classic shot of Miss Adams, reminiscent of her great pictorial moments. She's at her best when her curves are out, but she's not making a scene of it. It's not overt, but completely sexy nonetheless. That's what made her a revolutionary... her balance. An angel at work, that's all. I thought this photo was a good touch for the end of the pictorial, showing off Rhonda's cheer and charm in one shot.

All in all, Rhonda's new pictorial follows the trend of what she was best known for... simplicity and sex appeal, wrapped in one neat package. Although she's a girl who can be summed up in a finite number of words, that's what made her so unique, in the first place.

Winds of Change

Things are definitely changing for the better in Playboy country. I've noticed obvious trends recently, and they're all signaling a better, brighter collection of girls. For one thing, and probably most importantly, the Cyber Girls section has been completely revamped. I mean, the quality of CGOW pictorials has always been lacking, in my opinion. But this past month of July has completely marked a change (I'll talk more on this in later posts).

The part that has improved that's probably most noticeable is the fact that Playboy's been rounding up some excellent girls as Playmates of the Month. The girls of 2007 so far have been no joke: Jayde Nicole, Tyran Richard, Shannon James, and Brittany Binger have all been fresh, unique faces the likes of which haven't been seen in Playboy's history.

So continuing this great streak is Tamara Sky, a Puerto Rican DJ with a bubbly butt and plenty of lustre and uniqueness. Tamara is a perfect addition to a great year. She's exotic, alluring, and perfectly feminine.

What I like about Tamara is that she's very sexual, and always engaging with the camera. She's trying to work it as much as she can, like in Pic 19. She's also got it all in a small, voluptuous package. But it's strange that her rock-hard body doesn't show itself in every photo. In this great picture, you've got a textbook body contour shot that really shadows and reflects her moves clearly. In others, like this one, you've got a flaccid, desperate attempt to portray a truly sexy and tough exterior. It just doesn't come off like Tamara has the ability to.

So Tamara isn't so consistent, this is true. Her posing is unorthodox and messy, and she's all over the place from picture to picture. She makes up for all of that with some memorable moments, plain and simple. The drawback of her crazy posing makes her very flexible, and can help her hit interesting poses. Her face is exotic and gorgeous, and although she doesn't smile much, you'll admit that you haven't seen anything like it before.

To top it all off, look at her centerfold, and you'll say to yourself that Tamara has perhaps the best ass in recent Playboy memory.

To sum things up, Tamara is a new twist in the plot of 2007. She's a great new addition with a Latin flair. She has problems with consistent posing and her pictorial falls flat at times with its repetitive nature... let's just say it's no Shannon James pictorial. However, one needs to give it its due as a great pictorial of a sexy, small package of a girl. She'll surely be in the running for PMOY, although she'll certainly have some competition.

Gold Mine

I was very pleasantly surprised to sign on to the Cyber Club after a bit of a hiatus, only to see Tiffany Fallon's photo on the front page. So I thought, "more Tiffany!" after she was a great pick for PMOY in 2005 and really impressed me with her posing and performance. But this time, we can all get to know her a little better...

After her TiffanyFallon.com site went offline, all of its content was apparently picked up by Playboy, and it's all on the Cyber Club. We're talking about 60 PICTORIALS, and 55 VIDEOS! The amazing onslaught of content made me pretty satisfied to be able to sift through it all.

With other girls, you might think that so much content might be a bit overkill. But not for Tiffany... she's got touch and variety in each of her photos. She makes the most of her environments and setups so that every single photo is gorgeous, not to mention her outrageously perfect body.

So going through the pictorials, some of them really caught my eye, although most of them were pretty exceptional, and even the worse ones were just not eye-catching, but still sexy. One of my favorite pictorials was pictorial 1, which really shows off Tiffany's amazing curves. The curvature of her lower body just pops out at you in these pictures, especially at her hips.

Another pictorial where Tiffany is amazing is Pictorial 6, where she's nude throughout. It's a pure exhibition series, and Miss Fallon looks as sharp as ever. In this one, in particular, Tiff's hair looks perfect, and her body is smooth and silky. When her body bends, there's nothing that matches her balance of curves and classic luster.

Bottom line is, Tiffany just looks great naked. She's one of those girls that Playboy's hunted down that looks like she was born to be without clothes. There're so many great shots that you could sift through for days, I'll just list a few here:

Pictorial 25, Pic 14: Engaging eyes, great outfit
Pictorial 25, Pic 15: Fantastic photo, an instant classic... textbook posing ability
Pictorial 41, Pic 2: Great leopard print outfit; sexy, edgy look
Pictorial 41, Pic 12: Stripping off the leopard bustier
Pictorial 32, Pic 10: A monochrome shot that really brings out the classic beauty of Tiffany
Pictorial 53, Pic 4: The different hairstyle gives her a new, dynamic quality

Bottom line is, Tiffany is versatile, sexy, and absolutely breathtaking. I have a feeling that she'll not only be a great model for years to come, but will also go down as one of the greatest PMOY's of all time, worthy of being mentioned with the likes of Karen McDougal, Jodi Ann Paterson, or Patti McGuire.
