A gorgeous picture of Karen Price that I found on my hard drive
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. P.S. -- Thanks to Prowoog and Tastavins for clearing this up. Unfortunately, there isn't a larger version available, because it appeared at the opening of Karen's page on the old Cyber Club site: a DSO (Data Sheet Old) photo. The old CC didn't share a high resolution version. But I'm glad we have what we have. Last edited by cqnew1648; July 8th, 2016 at 02:20 AM.. Reason: a postscript |

Karen Price
Karen Elaina Price Miss January 1981
Karen Elaina Price (born July 17, 1960) is an American model, stunt woman and television producer. She is sometimes credited as Karen Castoldi. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month in January 1981. Her centerfold was photographed by Ken Marcus. For Playmate Karen Price, being the subject of a centerfold pictorial wasn’t just her entrée into the annals of Playboy, but to celluloid as well. The January 1981 Playmate’s Playboy pictorial is forever canonized in the cult classic film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, as the image is seen posted on the vertical stabilizer of Max’s gyro machine. Karen was particularly limber—something that no doubt served her well in her Playmate shoot, which was titled “Gym Dandy.” But the model didn’t use her agility just for posing. She used it to carve an unconventional and powerful Hollywood career, one that would blaze new trails for women in film as a stuntwoman in more than 25 films. How did this Pasadena native go from Playboy centerfold to pulling off daredevil feats in films such as the action flick Hot Pursuit (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger) and cult classics Less Than Zero and Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment? By pursuing a lifetime of rigorous gymnastics and acrobatics training that began at 12 years old. Her father, a professional musician, encouraged her to follow in his footsteps by signing her up for intensive piano lessons as a kid. Karen quickly found her true love in practicing gymnastics. She told Playboy that while she thought two-hour piano lessons were unbearable, but five hours on the balance beam was a snap. She competed in local gymnastics competitions and took several top prizes. As a teen she coached and taught younger kids in the sport. She went on to learn acrobatics—the art of tumbling, flipping, and maneuvering with a partner or team. After trying her hand at acting in a bit part in the 1982 film Swamp Thing, a film released soon after her 1981 Playboy pictorial, the aerial athlete quickly put her lifelong talent to work by suiting up alongside stuntmen and performing in action, drama, and comedy films from 1984 to 1994. Though she’s best known for her acrobatics on film, the Playmate is still celebrated as a model; Karen was featured in Playboy’s January 2000 “Centerfolds of the Century” issue. California health fanatics, Karen keeps in shape with a standard balanced diet (hold the bean sprouts), plus lots of athletic involvement. At the ripe old age of 12, she was introduced to the rigorous sport of gymnastics and took to it immediately. At the time, her father - who is now a drummer for Rich Little and has played with such greats as Oscar Peterson and Stan Kenton - wanted young Karen to be a musician, too. She diligently practiced her scales but soon found that while two hours at the piano were almost unbearable, spending four or five hours at the balance beam was a snap. After winning first prize in several local competitions, Karen became a teacher of gymnastics - and developed an interest in acrobatics as well. (Gymnastics is an individual sport; acrobatics involves two or more people.) Karen loves children; since she was 15, she has been coaching youngsters in the sport, and recently she tutored a 14-year-old in reading and writing. She also has a definite soft spot for stray animals. When we met her, she had just adopted a baby squirrel, which she named J.R. (after her boyfriend, not Larry Hagman). Does Karen Price have any vices? “Sugar,” she says. “I’ve got a serious sweet tooth. And I do swear sometimes. But I guess my only real vice - if you want to call it that - is making love.” Actually, we wouldn’t call it that. Last edited by hakala; October 17th, 2016 at 02:31 PM.. Reason: mistaken person |
