Although we had a Penthouse Non-Centrefold of the Month for August and, moreover, she was from the previous month in the same year, we have decided not to get stressed about this and just post whoever we want! It's more important that we try to catch up over the next few months, having got hopelessly behind. We would like, by March, to have got to the situation where we are posting girls from the appropriate month in the appropriate month! Well, at least, that's what S from Vancouver tells us we have to do!
This young lady is one we remember from when the September 1976 issue of Penthouse came out. We didn't have this issue but we remember someone bringing it into school. It was the UK edition, of course, but the pictorials that month were the same, although the US edition was out a month later than the US one. Most of our classmates preferred the voluptuous charms of Dawn Shaw, that month's centrefold (who, indeed, was lovely) but at the time we preferred the other two girls in that issue Derna Wylde and Sienna Welles.
Derna, Penthouse maintained (although by this point what they said about their models was usually a complete fabrication) was half Chinese and half American Indian (none of this Native American stuff back then). Whether she really was or whether it was just because it was shot out in the American West, with the inclusion of a random Indian, we don't know.
Time for a quick strum and to unveil those lovely legs. We remember the dreaded midi skirt from the seventies. First introduced in 1970 (or rather reintroduced) the mid seventies version of the most unflattering skirt length in history was full, like Derna's example here. At least the forties incarnation (the previous period it was in fashion) was cut tight to the hips and legs.
Here we get our first proper look at Derna with one of those bust squeezing shots that Penthouse loved so much. We're not quite sure where the bucket came from, it wasn't on her backpack!
Getting the girls to touch their pussies had been a feature of the magazine for about a year so here Derna checks on her impressive bush. One advantage of a midi skirt being, of course, that you don't need to wear knickers.
Underneath her red top Derna reveals our favourite garment on a woman: the white cotton vest. Her perky bust produces a very pleasing effect here!
In this effective up-the-skirt photograph we can see that Derna does, indeed, seem to have some oriental blood although, of course, the ancestors of Native Americans came from Asia anyway.
In this one she has her hair up which is something that Agent Triple P appreciates on a young lady, especially if there are random wispy bits escaping from the formal arrangement.
Derna, as you can see from this picture, has very long hair indeed. As to her other visible hair in this one she has straight pubic hair. Triple P only has experience of three naked Chinese women and they all had straight pubic hair but whether this is a defining characteristic of oriental women we don't know. Derna's labia are prominent enough to rise above her bush, anyway.
Now she is perfectly attired, for Triple P anyway, in just her vest. A wet vest at that!
This is the photograph which we particularly remember from when we first saw this pictorial over thirty-five years ago! Completely splendid!
The summer of 1976 was very hot in Britain and at the end of the summer term at school some of us would sit near the fence that divided us from girls' school next door and try to encourage them to do cartwheels. A couple of the naughtier girls (yes, C, we mean you) knew exactly what they were doing and cavorted to great effect. A naked demonstration such as this, however, would have been too much for our system, we suspect! We got excited enough just seeing their knickers and firm young thighs! Needless to stay, the school soon introduced a distance limit from the fence, beyond which we weren't allowed to go, to keep us from speaking (and watching!) the girls next door! Spoil sports!
Finally naked, Derna puts her splendid body into a wonderfully sculptural shape in the water.
This pictorial, was shot by Mindas, who was only credited with one other Penthouse pictorial, May 1976's Three's Company which we will be posting on The Seduction of Venus very soon. Whether Mindas was the name of a particular photographer or an alias for one of Penthouse's regulars we don't know.
These final four pictures are photographed in a very different style from the others in the pictorial. It's not clear if these were shot indoors or whether outdoors as all you can see is the ethnic blanket. If he (or she!) was not working under an alias then it's shame that Penthouse didn't use him more as he produced some striking images in this pictorial.
Very much more soft-focus than the exterior shots they also have a strong, warm colour cast to them.
The only thing we would have liked to have seen from Derna is a smile! She looks quite gloomy throughout the pictorial! Still, one to bring back memories!

Anyway, here is Derna wandering out of the woods in her cowboy boots and with her guitar. It's these sorts of scene-setting pictures that made pictorials from this period so superior to what we get today. It's really like the process of imagining what a pretty girl looks like naked. There is no fun to be had in guessing if she is naked from the start!
