Girls Club

One of Playboy's timeless traditions is the inclusion of girl-on-girl pictorials. They've acknowledged this with their "Girl on Girl" pictorials, which have largely been uninspired and classless, especially when compared with the great girls only pictorials of all-time.

When you analyze and leaf through a pictorial with two girls, you look at completely different things... you look for interaction, and it brings out a sexuality that can't be achieved between a single girl and a camera alone. It goes a lot deeper than that.

So deprived of many new quality girl-on-girl issues lately, I came across a new entry in the Girls With Girls section... "Pictorial #7," featuring beauties Charlie Laine and Nadia Styles.

Let me just say... these two girls are fantastic. They contrast each other extremely well, and are very saucy and incredibly gorgeous from head to toe. They also have impeccable chemistry, as you'll see as you leaf through the pictorial yourself.

First thing that hit me was Pic #3, where Charlie's hair looks voluminous and gorgeous, and Nadia complements her with her brunette charm. Both girls look exotic, since Charlie's face is unique and beautiful. The next photo is perfect, with hand contact in all the right places. The girls perfectly contrast with each other, and the result is one that completely sizzles throughout.

By Photo #8, things are in full swing. The traditional "near-kiss" shot tantalizes. Both girls' parted mouths and nude curves mesh perfectly, with natural lighting falling on their bodies and creating the perfect scene.

The next series of photos goes into another phase of the girl-on-girl pictorial: the mutual pleasuring, or at least the simulation of pleasure. The girls stimulate each other and get their acting skills in line. The first photo kicks off with Nadia lightly touching her mate's breasts and flashing her sexy eyes in an inquisitive stare. The moments continue, with Nadia in a submissive position, where her awesome butt is a center of attention. Pic 11 is an interesting twist (pun intended), with playful Charlie pulling on Nadia's sexy nipple. Charlie's face is luscious in that photo... I'd love to see her as a Playmate sometime.

The hits keep on coming in the fast paced pictorial, with Pic 13 as another submissive role played by Nadia. Nadia's role in the pictorial is well adhered to, as she's the one who's being toyed with, and in this photo, it looks like it's setting up for some surefire pleasure. It continues to the next photo, where the girls make eye contact and touch hands in a super sexy moment. Photographer Mizuno does a great job of capturing the emotion in these photos, making it look like these girls really are falling for each other. The pictorial finally finishes with making contact with the audience.

The pictorial was very well-done and simple, and the two girls were excellent for each other. They touched and felt in all the right ways, and the result was very engaging. It was a pictorial that's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of dual-girl photo shoots. I just can't wait to see if either of these Playboy TV stars one day show up on centerfolds. *Crossing my fingers*

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.
