[Early on, Hefner required Playboy centerfolds to be portrayed in a very specific way, telling photographers (1956 memo) that the “model must be in a natural setting engaged in some activity 'like reading, writing, mixing a drink'... (...)". Hef later said that the ideal centerfold is one in which "a situation is suggested, the presence of someone not in the picture" ; the goal was to transform "a straight pinup into an intimate interlude, something personal and special"]
