Can’t Breathe

I had no idea who Bianca Balti was. Still don’t, except that Playboy put her on the cover of the July/August issue, shot by Greg Lotus in Malibu. That’s all I need to know.

For years Playboy seemed committed to proving nobody looked at it for the photography anymore. Aging actresses, cosmetic surgery disasters, an entire magazine full of people who’d clearly given up on the idea of being attractive. Then suddenly they remember what they actually do well: putting someone beautiful in front of a camera and getting out of the way.

If you want to breathe normally, stay away from these pictures. She’s the kind of person where the lens stops trying and just tells the truth.
