centerfolds
Nude magazine pages
A centerfold is the middle pages of a magazine, designed to fold out and display a single large image, typically a photograph.
The term is most associated with men's magazines like Playboy, where the centerfold features a nude or seminude model, and by extension refers to the person photographed: She was a centerfold in the 1980s.
The word can also describe anyone considered attractive enough to be such a model.
