Hi All,
I have a few favorite photos of Karen...I don't have the pics scanned, so I will mention them as best as I can...
Karen with a purplish outfit, shiny outfit, and short brown hair, from the inner album cover YESTERDAY ONCE MORE.
Also the same one as above, and from the solo sessions, with a purplish outfit, with her hair blowing on both sides of her face, and she is not smiling.
Also the one from the solo session, in her white sweater, curled up in that purple chair. She look so cute and so pretty. Beautiful make up that they gave her...
And the one from that session...in her red blazer...holding her fingers...she looks so womanly and radiant and so happy.
I also love the CLOSE TO YOU album cover. I think she looks great. I love that long flowy dress and those white shoes and her long hair. She looked gorgeous!
I also adore the inner pic of the A SONG FOR YOU album. I love the "fall" she is wearing. She looks so innocent and sweet in that pic.
And so young.
Cam

:)I think I know about most of the pics you talk about and I agree that she was always so pretty and very photogenic. She could have easily been a model, except models I think starve themselves excessively at times too, so that wouldn't have been so great in that respect.
I think one of her very best features is her eyes. I'm blue eyed and always wanted brown eyes. She just expresses herself so well with an emotional impact because of those eyes and her just being so natural even made up fancy she was just herself.
And this may seem off beat in one way, and I don't mean it to be at all, but do you know the most recent Wheat Thins commercial..it's an animated lady..she's thin but has bouncy curly hair and big brown eyes...Well, I think of Karen when I see that one mainly because the lady is happy and carefree. She bounces off a trampoline at one point and flys way up in the air.
I guess the message is that Wheat Thins are a good but light snack and they are.
I guess I just have Karen on the brain quite a bit. I know for a long time inside herself, she wasn't happy, but there were times she really was. Like when she plays those drums and singing those songs that were happy. She was a people person too.

Hello,
Yes, Karen was a gorgeous woman. It makes
me feel sad that she didn't see herself as such. To be able to look in the mirror and see a pleasing, attractive woman. I love her eyes. Big brown eyes...Nice eyebrows...gorgeous nose, and wonderful smile with straight teeth...slim face(even before the anorexia).
I also love the photos from YESTERDAY ONCE MORE inner cover of her in a black sweater, white shirt, and brown long curly hair...Richard is beside her with a silver jacket and red shirt. They look absolutely fantastic! She looks stunningly beautiful!
I also love the photo of her on the inner cover of the MADE IN AMERICA cover. She looks so good and so happy.
I also love the photo of her with the sign she made Steven Levenkron..."You Win I Gain"...she looks thin but looks healthier...

Karen had an interesting face. Sometimes I have to look at her for a few minutes to kind of try and figure her out. I like the picture of her and Richard inside the "Horizon" album. She's wearing the yellow v-neck sweater with the black and white checker pattern on the border of the v-neck part. She was absolutely beautiful at this point with strong facial expressions. She had that look of determination on her face.

Hi, Rick.
A very good description about Karen's facial expression in that years.
I like too all the early photos where K and R are using bangs .
Talking about photos: what about scanning photos never seen before in any internet site.
I have several photos you all haven't seen anywhere that I want to share......
I have collected it from latin magazines like Vanidades and Buenhogar.

My favorite photo of Karen is the one that appears on the cover of 'The Carpenters -- The Untold Story.' (as currently displayed by Rick.)
She looks happy and that smile!

there are very few photos where she didn't look great. I really like that one from the cover of the R. Coleman book as well as that one he also just posted Richard in yellow and she's in red. I love too the cover of Close To you album even if they are a little wind blown. That particular cover may have a special quality too in my heart because it was the first record I owned by them and I think my very first record of any kind in about '70 or 72. That is probably my all time fave. record of theirs altogether.
At the time, I always had my ear to a portable radio and was especially touched by "Rainy Days and Mondays".
In any case, I was blown away by that Carpenter sound. I was an admirer of groups with similar sounds, but they all were like .."well, why sit here and play with the play dough, when riding a bike is much more fun!"

I like the picture form inside Horizon that Rick posted, but one of my favorites is on the picture sleeve of Sing, Karen has such a radiant smile.

The 1975 program. Karen is drumming towards the end of the program with her hair all beautiful and kind of wild and she is stunningly beautiful. I was at that concert 3 times that summer and she looked even better in person if you can believe that. I met her and got her autograph after a benefit softball game and she had jeans shorts on. What a beauty.
