Karen Elaina Price - Page 6

Thanks to ACME for finding Karen’s candid 1981 interview with the Brandon (Manitoba) Sun. I'd like to hear what other VEF members think about what she had to say. It’s sad that the rude behavior of many “fans” soured Karen on the PM experience within three months of her appearance in PB, as did the goings on at the PB mansion.

The interview also explains how Karen became a PM. I had always wanted to know, but now I’m not so sure I wanted to know. I had always thought she was discovered on Muscle Beach or had been nominated by the lucky guys who knew her in high school or college. I wondered too what kind of pitch PB made to persuade her to pose (although I always thought her ambition to enter show business, her love of performing, and her pride in her body as a gymnast played a role). Sorry she felt pressured by her father.

I hope she no longer has regrets and appreciates how much her true fans admire her and the life she’s led. I hope too that she realizes how grateful we are that she shared her beauty with us. She’s stunning in every way—talented, accomplished, passionate, adventurous—every straight guy’s ideal. No wonder she’s the most popular PM on VEF. Karen’s the real Miss America of 1981, and she’s remembered by far more fans than the person who won that contest in Atlantic City that year. I hope Karen knows too that most of us enjoy the fantasy she created with Ken Marcus as they did, in a spirit of fun and with a conviction that sensuality is a wonderful thing. Karen represented PB at its best. As one website I ran across recently says, she’s “The One and Only Playmate.” And I’m glad her life turned out for the best.

P.S. -- As of today (9/6/2010), Karen is the first PM to reach 300,000 views on VEF.

I've posted Karen's four official CC wallpapers in the Wallpapers of Beautiful Women thread:

They're nicely done.

A nice photo of Karen on the beige couch from an angle I hadn’t seen before. She’s as beautiful as ever. Thanks to ACME for the scan.

Here are a much larger scan of the promotional photo of Karen first posted by PriceIsRight and a slightly larger scan of the photo first posted by Proowog. Thanks to them for finding these photos--I just thought everyone would like to have the larger versions too.

She was in Toronto for a Hot Rod Show and The Toronto Sun used her to promote the show.

Here are large scans of Karen’s appearance in the Japanese edition, courtesy of ACME. Only one, I think, will be new to VEF fans, but larger is better. They are from her fireplace shoot.

It’s the 30th anniversary this month of Karen’s appearance in PB. The January 1981 issue went on sale on the 1st of December 1980. I fell for Karen after seeing the opening picture of her layout, in which she posed with her squirrel. Karen has a wonderful smile--one for the ages. I fear that PB won’t take note of her anniversary or bless Karen’s fans with a release of new photos. We can thank PB, however, for releasing her original layout this year in full-sized digital scans.
I hope Karen’s fans on VEF will register their support by rating her VEF thread a “five.” It’s embarrassing that her thread, the most viewed of any PM’s, is only rated a “4.” I respect the right of VEF fans to vote as they wish, but I know her thread would be a 5 (and remain a 5) if all of her fans weighed in. So please take a moment to do so.

In the 30 years since her pictorial I have not seen a woman that was as beautiful to me as Karen. I hope that PB continues to give us pictures of her.

The pictures of her original layout were great, but some of them were washed out. Especially the great pic of her and the squirrel. I tried to make some adjustment to the image to make it closer to the original.
