I found a picture of Karen Price that I lost track of years ago and does not appear on her thread. I don’t know if it’s new to her thread or if it disappeared, but it’s a wonderful picture that captures the beauty of Karen’s face, her tan lines, and her curves, which just don’t quit. She must have known when she posed how it would make us feel—and it does!
Does anyone know when and where this picture appeared? The scan I have was created in 2005. Unfortunately, it’s a small scan, barely more than 200 x 400, so it would be great if someone could find it and make an HQ scan. Do our PB heroes on VEF, Masque and Fabrizio, have any idea? Maybe we could discuss it on
Karen’s discussion thread.
Karen’s photo has me thinking once again of what’s in the vault. Can’t they let us crowd fund releases of photos of our favorite PMs? Given the lack of interest of younger men in PB, don’t they realize that Vintage fans are their last and best hope of cashing in? As I’ve said elsewhere on VEF, some of us aren’t broke, and many of us are desperate to see everything they’ve hidden away. Are they indifferent, bad at business, or hamstrung by their contract with their outside vendor for PB Plus? Does anyone know?
I read a post on another VEF thread in which the author said he didn’t think the vault held much of interest, since PB’s models only looked fantastic because of the airbrushing, etc., and might look quite plain in most of their pictures. No one beat him up electronically, but I dare say, when I look at everyday photos of Karen, Janet Lupo, and Candy Loving in their fifties, I do believe in the Santa Claus of beauty.
