5.0 out of 5 stars
Very entrancing. Cuter girls than SI (Sports Illustrated)., January 1, 2007
This review is from: Playboy Swimsuit 2007 Calendar (Calendar)
I found this calendar to be very enchanting - and very usable. (More on this later.)
It features twelve gorgeous Playboy Playmates, wearing attractive swimsuits, and posing in settings that are simple yet still very pretty.
Nearly all of the girls appear near water - be it in fountains, in rivers, on the beach, or by the pool - although two of the gals beckon us from beds (both kneeling).
A few of the women wear one-piece suits while most of the rest don two-piece units. Teasingly, three of the girls appear topless - but with their breasts still conveniently hidden (pshaw!)
The suits vary in coverage with the most revealing being Cara Wakelin's (Miss November 1999), who appears in February, and wears just a bottom thong. Since only an inch of material is visible as it emerges from between her cheeks - and there is but a thin chain for the waistband -- Miss Wakelin appears to be almost nude.
The strangest (and least swimsuit-like) outfit is worn by Jamie Westenhiser (Miss May 2005) kneeling on a bed. Her suit (which can barely be seen), may be the world's skimpiest string bikini - but I doubt if she's planning to wear her pink pipe-cleaner-like garter belt and black mesh stockings (with black stiletto pumps) to the beach anytime soon! (Or maybe she's a refugee from Playboy's 2007 Lingerie Calendar, which is also quite nice.)
When compared to the ever-present Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar, I actually like the Playboy version much better. The girls all seem more approachable (that girl-next-door-quality, right?) and more wholesome. I think they also have cuter faces, but that's just a personal preference. And, compared to SI's supermodels -- I also find their American-sounding names to be much easier to pronounce and to remember.
I found the cover photo of Jillian Grace (Miss March 2005), who appears in December - to be the sexiest. And I judged the image of Penelope Jimenez (Miss March 2003) who appears topless as a stream of water splashes over her - as the most refreshing.
As stats, the calendar is a very usable (there's that word again) 12" x 12" (12" by 24" unfolded). Each girl appears in an edge-to-edge color photo on top - with a full calendar (with a square-per-day) underneath for writing entries (or engagements).
Dates for the months of September - December 2006 also appear on the first spread (before January) along with a huge, close-up photo of Kara Monaco's (Miss June 2005) cute face - and left (knitted mesh-covered) boob.
The calendar is very artistic and tasteful, and the swimsuit theme makes it very summery and refreshing. (I liked mine so much - that I chose to display it in my kitchen on the refrigerator. Not!)
Having the pretty visage of a cute Playmate greeting you - is a great way to start off the day! Enjoy.
