Her pubic hair seems natural. There are several pictures where the curls are clearly seen. But before considering a photo, we have to take into account some constraints such as the light intensity, the pose of the model or even the model itself. For example, there are PMs hairier than others.

In the pictures above you can see the difference between the pubes of Karen Price (left) and Patricia Farinelli (right). Apparently Karen has thicker and darker hair, but the light and the pose are different, so the question remains.

Off topic: I think Karen start working for PB in September 1980. She was 20, her breasts were too heavy for gymnastics and her father (Ray Price?) suggested her to try an acting career through PB. And so she went to PB.

Yes, and the arm is darker than the belly.

I already saw Roberta's PM Profile Video and she is that hairy on the bottom. The photos I posted before also prove it.

I don't know about shaving but a close study of these girls will reveal that there was a vagina lurking in the bushes:

Patti McGuire 11/76
Pamela Jean Bryant 4/78
Teri Nihen 12/83
Justine Grenier 2/84
Liz Stewart 7/84

I prefer bushes with legs wide open to clean shavers with their legs glued together.

I think the first PM to shave was Marion Scott (May 1956)

PB went through a "modesty phase" where they were going back and airbrushing the pubes of some of their images to make them less explicit. Lately they've been undoing that in some of the XL images, I can't think of any off the bat but will try to find some.


Here's an example of PB revisionism, the case of the disappearing Coke can.

I think the revisionism of PB is in the opposite direction. For example, Marianne Gravatte already had her magnificent beaver reduced.

In actual fact, her huge beaver is made up - it is fiction! Look carefully at the first photo and you can see clearly that the lower part has been added.

I don't want to be rude, but your insistence in "fake bushes" begins to sound ridiculous. If you have doubts about the authenticity of Marianne Gravatte's beaver, look at her PM Profile Video and clarify your doubts about it.

I have been fiddling around with retouching many of the pictures I have collected and what I have discovered is that the photo dept. have added a lot of "shadows" to many of the pic. Here's Denise McConnell after I have retouched the photos posted earlier in this thread. All I did was "Lighten Shadows" and this is what I got.




Notice that the hair on her head is slightly lighter, probably closer to her natural color and the shadow above her eye disappears revealing her entire face. When you check the pubes, you see she is does not have quite as much pubic hair as the original pics appear to show. There is still a lot of shadows as you get closer to her pussy, but I think this illustrated how the pictures were manipulated. Here is the other one that was posted:



Not as much change as the first pair, however there is a slight difference.

Regardless, Denise McConnell had one fine looking bush!
