Karen McDougal Personal life
McDougal relishes the thrill of speed[35] as she is an avid motorcycle rider and car collector.[36] Her first modelling assignment was being a promotional model at a Harley-Davidson bike show in Detroit.[14] In 2004, she bought a pink custom-built motorcycle,[37] and entered an Easyrider Competition in Pomona, where her motorcycle won the Best Radical Custom award.[38] She also professes to be a chocoholic and junk food junkie even when she considers herself a "health nut".[4] In her spare time, she works out 3 days a week to stay in shape.[4] When she was Playmate of the Year of 1998, she had a healthy BMI of 19.[39] Although she is a swimsuit model, she is not a proficient swimmer because of her aquaphobia. She is an animal lover and owns two cats: Brittany and Brandy.[4] McDougal has 2 tattoos,[35] one is a tattoo of a cat on the second toe of her right foot to honor her cats,[12] the other is that of a cross behind her right ear as a reminder of her spirituality.[35]
McDougal's family members initially did not support her decision to pose for Playboy.[7] Eventually, they embraced the fact and her mother appeared in interview segments of her Playmate of the Year "Video Centerfold" as a sign of support.[5] Her family has a history of breast cancer, and McDougal, who acknowledges having breast implants, is an advocate of breast cancer awareness.[40] McDougal currently resides in Los Angeles[15] and Phoenix, Arizona.[37] In an interview in 2007, McDougal stated that she is single.[35] In the same year, she was dating actor Bruce Willis on different occasions.[41][42] The media initially incorrectly identified McDougal as actress Tamara Feldman.[42] In March 2008, McDougal appeared in a topless pictorial and interview in Spanish magazine Interviu discussing her relationship with Willis[43] soon after he began dating model Emma Heming.Career highlights at Playboy
In 1997, McDougal tried out and won her local Venus Swimwear swimsuit competition in Michigan. Her victory caught the eye of Playboy photographer David Mecey.[4] Soon after that she was approached by Playboy for a test shoot at Playboy Studio West which she accepted.[6] Upon completing her test shoot, she was promptly selected to return for a complete photo and video shoot and chosen as Miss December 1997.[4] Her pictorial, which was shot by photographers Richard Fegley and Stephen Wayda, has a winter theme[1] and its outdoor portion was shot in the snowy fields near Park City, Utah.[8] Her video, the "Playmate Profile", was featured on Playboy TV soon after her magazine debut.[2]
In May 1998, she was announced to have been chosen by Hugh Hefner and fans as Playmate of the Year (PMOY) of 1998 at a luncheon at the Playboy Mansion.[9] As her reward, she was awarded $100,000 and a special edition silver Shelby Series 1 convertible with a customized Michigan license plate "PMOY 98".[3] In contrast to her Playmate pictorial, her PMOY pictorial in the July 1998 issue of Playboy has a tropical theme and its outdoor portion was shot at Saint Lucia.[3] According to her interview in her Playmate of the Year "Video Centerfold" which was released soon after her PMOY issue debuted, she believes her physical imperfections are her "funny" smile, her crooked pinkies which she inherited from her grandfather and her "ugly feet" which she wishes others would not look at.[5] Because of the popularity of the VH1 television series "Pop-up Video" at the time, one of the segments in her PMOY video was done as a Pop-up Video parody filled with factoids about her and Playboy.[5] During her appearance on The Magic Hour to promote her PMOY issue, McDougal demonstrated her signature pose, straddle split on TV in front of a live studio audience.[10] Playboy has continued to publish her material in Playboy Cyber Club, Playboy Special Edition publications and Playboy Videos.[11][12] In an online chat in 2002, McDougal expressed interest in posing for Playboy again if offered.[12]
Karen McDougal Early life and education
McDougal studied tap dance and ballet as a child. Her childhood dream, prior to teaching and modeling, was to become a ballerina. She attended River Valley High School and became a cheerleader, band member, color guard, volleyball and softball player, as well as Michigan state champion clarinet player for 4 years in a row in high school. Her high school nickname was "Barbie" due to her wholesome sweetness. After graduating high school in 1989, she attended Ferris State University at Big Rapids, Michigan, majoring in Elementary Education.
After 2 years of college, McDougal moved to a Detroit suburb where she taught pre-kindergarten, before being persuaded to try out for a swimsuit competition.
