mardi jacquet

ahhh, those heavenly ladies from the greatest days of 'Playboy.' i remember this centerfold 'as if it was yesterday.' i would probably be able to tell you her name on sight. it's the sophisticated and sexy miss mardi jacquet. i remember that silver bolo tie between her smallish and realistic boobs... that short haircut; which was somewhat unusual amongst playmates from that era. her face is flawless, of course. but i remember i used to think her face indicated an intelligence that wasn't always there with playmates. i remember that lasso, and above all, that gorgeous aquamarine stone on her ring finger. man, i'd love to go back in time and personally thank all the great and daring ladies who were brave enough to take it all off back then. man, she's beautiful. ( oh, and just a word to any 'planetcool' viewers who are bothered by a picture like this? i just wanna say i will post-and-celebrate pictures like this from time to time. so... heads up. no pun intended. )

mardi blues

i think its fair to say that jean-lucien would raise an eyebrow if he heard the name 'mardi jacquet.' that's because i know that when he and i were children, we used to lay out all these deelish and sudsy centerfolds accross our hardwood bedroom floor and conduct 'beauty contests.' we read every girl's profile, we even invented voices for them and read out all the 'facts' on their playmate 'data sheet.' therefore, i know that jean-luc and i were relatively 'well-read' on the subject of mardi jacquet. here she is, from the waist up, looking cool and toplessly gorgeous. i should mention that she looks washed in blue light for a reason. well, unfortunately, i had to do that. the original picture i was working with was so underexposed and heavy with browns and rusts that i had no choice but to wash it out a little and 'ramp up' the more sapphire tones. but, all technical lingo aside, miss mardi jacquet is something special... she manages to wear a bolo tie and shimmery blue vest and somehow , she makes it look fantastic. perhaps its the silky, perfect, pear-shaped boobs and cute blonde shimmering bob-style haircut... perhaps its that flawless, glossy, porcelian make-up job... maybe its all of these things rolled together that make this one of my favorite pin-ups. i hope you dig it as much as i do.
