I am not a huge fan of Playboy style, but this one is actually surprisingly good. So good a couple of years ago I used a photograph from this shoot (again, without knowing what it was part of) to illustrate a story. Brazilian actress Nathalia Rodrigues is acting all strange in the presence of imperturbable hired help. Love the maid's old-style uniform!
Well done. It's always interesting to see Playboy's view of the world - particularly the world outside the USA. Do they have Brazilian editors who sign off and say 'this will appeal to the Brazilian readers'? English editors? European editors?
ReplyDeleteI don't know for sure, but I think it's safe to assume local editions are often essentially franchises with little to no editorial control from the headoffice. Still, the view of the world is quite interesting indeed. A blonde white-scinned mistress and a dark-skinned dark-haired maid. Clearly some racial overtones there. I don't think Playboy US would go that route.
DeleteThe optimally sized bare breasts and the wonderful bubble butt of the model makes for a good backdrop as the maids do their perfunctory thing, and while wearing those adorable old-style maid uniforms with their pleated aprons and lace-trimmed sleeve borders, and on their darling hair bands.
ReplyDeleteThe body proportions are another clue that this pictorial was shot specifically for a Brazilian market.
DeleteThe contrast of the blonde having to follow none of societies accepted constraints and norms, 'Her house her rules', wheras the servants are bound by many formal rules and restrictions, from uniform to demeanour are strongly evident.
ReplyDeleteThis may be from a Gentlemans publication, with the focus upon meeting that genders 'likings,' but my personal interpretation of the photos focuses in alternative direction, The maid uniform has to be applauded, truly exquisite.
