Nice digital video production values.
I see that Playboy has loosened up the standards.
Having not seen a Playmate Calender for quite a few years I was surprised how each segment works it way to series of semi-explicit close-up views of each girl's vaginal area.

It's a real departure from their old quick cuts and blurry shot technique of the past where close-ups and open thigh shots were very uncommon.
The DVD extras include bonus Playmate videos from about ten years ago; the contrast between the eras is amazing. Tawni Cable, Ava Fabian, Shannon Long, Emily Arth & Laurie Wood appear in videos shot years ago. Compare the level of explicitness they simply don't go there. I don't think Laurie Wood even took off her pants at any point - you never see anything! Ava Fabian gets completely nude in bed and moves seductively, but keeps her legs clamped shut like a nun. Emily Arth is dressed for most of her video. Tawni Cable is quite good but forget about seeing anything much beyond her boobs and her bush is there but it in shawdows.

What a difference 12 years makes, I noticed is that the center of attention has moved down about 2 feet from the breasts! Some girls spread their thighs more and show more than others, but every girl's section features a few close ups of her intimate anatomy and all eventually spread their thighs for at least one more-or-less complete yet tasteful view of her vagina at least once. These woman are all very good looking and have great bodies. The make-up and lighting make them look even better.

For 2002 the girls are all lovely.
Standouts:
Summer Altice - basically her "kitty" is the center of attention right from the start. She is very comfortable it. The camera just keeps coming back down for more and more close-ups and views (the camera virtually goes down on her at the end & little is left to the imagination with Summer).

Ditto for Netiferi Shepard she has a fantastic body and really got into spreading her thighs and showing off what is between her thighs. Her second sequence is really good -it is a slow undressing sequence with a lot of great edits. She will be you best buddy by the time it ends.

The Irina the Russian (natural blond top and bottom) has a sequence in which she is wearing a red dress, removes her panties from under her skirt and then sits up and faces the camera with her legs closed and her hands over her crotch, just when you think it is a tease, she smiles and then slowly spreads her thighs and pulls her hands away as the camera zooms in straight between her knees for a complete view of her cute vagina between those spreading inner thighs. Her second section is very good as well.

Cara Michelle is a very tall (6'2") and has a great natural breasts (36C) and is not too shy about having the camera move downstairs for a few straight-on frontal close ups of her below the belly button. Her second section has her 'getting ready for a date' - so she puts on and takes off dresses - its fun to watch her popping in and out dresses.

Lauren Hill - a slim athletic woman she is a bit shy with showing herself.

Miriam Gonzalez - buxom type, not the last bit shy!

Buffy Tyler - Pretty Blond - PB often features girls like this.
Crista Nicole - fantastic looking but totally enhanced boobs looks too good to be true.
Shannon Stewart - slim blond with silicon.
