Sexiness

90

There are times when words are appropriate to describe a woman, and other times when you are just better off standing back and enjoying the view. Guess which of those moments this is?

Success

70

If you count her Play.boy videos as "roles," then she has a half-dozen film credits to her name, including an uncredited performance in Charlie's Angels alongside fellow bombshells Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz. Other than that, Karen's accomplishments can be written on a cocktail napkin.

Quotes

"My dream date is a tall, dark, handsome, blue eyed man with a bubble butt who will whisk me away to Paris in a hot air balloon to wine me, dine me and..." -Karen McDougal

Biography

Karen McDougal was born March 23, 1971, in Gary, Indiana. She relocated to Sawyer, Michigan when she was 9 years old, along with her mother, 3 older brothers Bob, Dave and Jeff, and her younger sister Tina.

While you might assume that Karen was a tomboy, having been raised with 3 older brothers, she was very much a feminine young girl. As a child she was passionate about ballet, tap dancing, and spent her days as a girl scout.

cheering for karen

Her high school days at River Valley High School were marked with cheerleading and clarinet playing, as Barbie (her nickname throughout high school) was part of the band. Despite her busy modeling days as an adult, Karen still tinkers with the clarinet.

Upon graduating high school in 1989, Karen attended Ferris State University, majoring in Elementary Education. After 2 years in university, Karen worked as a pre-kindergarten teacher in a Detroit suburb.

While teaching those lucky kindergarten kids, a friend of Karen's convinced her to join a swimsuit contest -- the Venus Swimwear International Model Search -- to be exact. Thanks to her friend's encouragement, Karen was selected as the newest Venus swimsuit model, which led to a whole world of opportunity for the former cheerleader.

Karen then headed to an international competition, where she met an assisting Play.boy photographer. With a newfound desire to pursue an acting and modeling career, Karen crossed the US to go to California, for a test shoot for Hugh Hefner's famous magazine.

As luck and beauty would have it, Karen was named Play.boy's Miss December in 1997, and 1998 Play.mate of the Year. Karen was busy fulfilling her duties as 1998's Play.boy Queen, such as appearing in the Play.boy Video Centerfold: Play.mate of the Year and Play.boy Video Play.mate Calendar and making the requisite appearances, before handing over the crown to 1999 Play.mate of the Year, Heather Kozar.

Besides posing for Play.boy, Karen stood before the camera for the Bora Bora Trading Company Catalogs, the 1999 Calendar from Andy Pearlman Studios, and Clariol Hair Care.

step into the arena

Karen signed a developmental contract with the WWF in 2000, and she has since appeared in the blockbuster Charlie's Angels (as a party girl), as well as 2001's The Arena. Karen co-stars in the latter with fellow former Play.mate Lisa Dergan, as a gladiator.

While Karen is busy with modeling and acting, she uses her celebrity (thanks to Play.boy) as an activist for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Since her family has a history with cancer, Karen wants to spread the importance of women going for mammograms, even if they have implants (which she does).

When she's not working, she spends her downtime with her cats Brittany and Brandy, going to the gym and shopping.

Although she's still working hard with modeling and auditions, Karen hopes to open a learning center for infants and preschoolers.

it's called plastic surgery, makeup, photo adjustments/'airbrushing'.
Things get lightened, darkened, smoothed, removed, enhanced, shaped..... you name it. These are the dark secrets of what u all believe to be 'naturally beautiful'. Or maybe *naturally beautiful doesn't mean much. Go ahead and worship phoneys, but I'm sticking to the real thing! so much better & less self-involved! :)

Karen is just another bimbo putting on a show for males. Porn,
spreading herself around, literally, with men who have money.
Typical Playmate. Why can't men see how much fakeness there is? I too am a very beautiful woman (and actually very modest),
but use my mind, over my looks, in my career. Why so impressed with someone who is not much different than a glorified hooker?

Physical perfection, she is the epitome of female beauty. I know she has implants but they are not overdone and compliment the rest of her exquisite body beautifully. Flawless!
