Karen Price in 2011

cqnew1648 · August 10th, 2015, 03:39 AM

I found a few more pictures of Karen from her current acrobatic career. Here's what she was doing just last year as a performer—at age 54. She’s amazing!

Here's the link to the article in The Desert Sun on her recent performance.

Alas, it’s pretty clear why there will probably never be another Karen. The revolution in women’s college sports has been remarkable since the late 1970s, and there is little doubt that Karen, if she were a southern California teenager today, would receive a full ride scholarship to USC or UCLA as a gymnast or cheerleader, given her smarts and acrobatic skills. And a degree from either institution in the performing arts or film would have given her a more secure and safe path to show business than PB ever could. I can’t see Hollywood turning down a USC cheerleader for a tryout as a stunt woman, can you? Given Karen’s reluctance to be a PM and her regrets about having posed, and the pain she felt when people questioned whether she was a good, moral person, I’m sure she would say no to PB today, with such a bright future ahead of her--unless she were really, really, really tired of school!

I don't think we've ever had a post of Karen's appearance in the movie Mad Max II, which opened in theaters in 1981--another reason that was a very good year! Karen's centerfold appears on the rear stabilizer of the gyrocopter as Mel Gibson walks by.

It's a fun scene, and from seconds 37 to 45, Karen steals the show, just as we'd expect. Here's the URL to her clip on YouTube:

It's more than worth a look for Karen's fans.

This was in a The World of Playboy page. I cannot remember what issue.

In that airport shot, she almost looks like Robin Meade from HLN's Morning Express News

Darrell Stevens posted the following “cleaned” scans of Karen Price in July 2010. He tried to improve the quality and the size of existing scans using Photoshop, a technique he used to refurbish the portfolios of a number of PMs. His inventory of portfolios of cleaned scans appears here.

Alas, the demise of Rapidshare knocked all of his portfolios off the web. And as Darrell would admit, not every effort at improvement worked. But he improved many scans, so I thought I’d repost Karen’s. Msdayhawk reposted Darrell’s scans of Patti Farinelli here.

Stenplow worked up a nice collage for Karen Price in a tribute on another thread. He puts Karen in some amazing company--the only PM among his favorites.

You can see Stenplow's post here.

May wonders never cease. Another great picture of Karen. Thanks to Better Blue for posting it in Kelly's thread, and to Leroy Large Car for letting me know it was there.

I'm in despair about PB opening up its vault while we're still on this earth, now that the organization seems to be repudiating it past. And PB+ seems to have no interest in PB's Golden Era. But nice photos of Karen still keep showing up. We can be thankful for that!
Does anyone have an idea of what occasion might have led to this gathering of PMs? I can't quite manage to ID all of them. Maybe we can move to Karen's discussion thread and try to sort this out!

Thanks to Acejet61, here is a much improved photo of one I posted earlier of Karen and her fellow PMs at the opening on April 14, 1981 of the Atlantic City Casino, which was owned by PB. The casino closed in 1984, another PB failure.

The photo appeared on Candace Collins’ website. Candace identifies the PMs as:

Standing L-R: Missy Cleveland 4/79, Lisa Sohm 4/77, Gail Stanton 6/78, Candace Collins 12/79, Karen Price 1/81, Kymberly Herrin 3/81, and Janice Schmitt 2/78.

Sitting L-R: Monique St. Pierre 11/78, Lorraine Michaels 4/81, Sylvie Garant 11/79, Victoria Cooke 8/80, Candy Loving 1/79, and Louann Fernald 6/79.
