As painted by Picasso, maybe.

No hotlinking, and don’t go to the homepage trying to find it if you’re at work.

A casual glance might get you in trouble if you click on this at work. That Bodysuit is almost seamless.

I haven’t seen the issue yet, but the fhm us web site has a short video of Kari’s photo shoot. After much searching and screwing around with the video section I managed to see it (they sure didn’t design that site to be able to find things easily). But can’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to play again or direct others to it. Fortunately someone’s posted the [video on Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkWYhfLnttc). For some reason I’m not getting any sound, but that’s ok. 🙂

No,no,no, this is what makes her so wonderful. As a lifelong skate punk type you NEVER see hot women on TV that dress like you do. This is one of her most alluring qualities.

Not so much a spread as it is an elementary school level science experiment section hosted by Kari wearing a pushup bra underneath a lab coat.

Well, “wearing” a lab coat would be false advertising. The lab coat mostly covers her shoulders and the top part of her hips, not much else.

The part where she’s sticking a roll of Mentos in a pop bottle so that the pop shoots out might be, uh, suggestive.

Yeah, the chemistry was a nice touch, but I was expecting something a bit more (or rather, less) than a bikini and a lab coat. Heck, she’s had more suggestive material on the show.

Ok, figured it out. On the main page at [fhmus.com](http://fhmus.com), near the top is the **webtv** box. Down the side of the box are the numbers one through four. Number 4 is the link to the Kari video.

I checked it out at Barnes & Noble this evening. Meh… a limited number of shots of her in a lab. She showed more skin in the bikini image. You get to see the top of her cleavage and part of one one leg, everything else is covered with a big lab coat. Definitley not worth the price of the mag.

I don’t like that shoot at all. They tarted up her hair, naturally. That seems to be how it usually goes. They take a cute girl and put on too much make up and make her hair bigger for the photo shoot. I see they also the only picture of Morgan Webb I’ve ever seen where she actually looks good, and by no coincidence also doesn’t look like she just got clowned up by the makeup artist at Glamor Shots.

There’s also a particular facial expression all these magazines seem to favor. I call it “aggresively vacuous”.

I think they’re trying for ‘sultry’, but go too far. Doesn’t look like Kari went for it. 🙂

Perish the though! You have a sick sick mind! :eek: I’ll bet you have a problem with her holding the big pickle too, don’t you. 😃

I didn’t say I have a problem with it! I was just commenting!

As VeryCoolSpouse (Artist and college art teacher) says: “If it’s higher than it is wide, it’s a phallic symbol.” We’ve been married 13 years, perhaps my brain and judgement have been affected. 🙂

[Pictures](http://www.fhmus.com/articles-1276.asp?cnl_id=5&stn_id=46&idx_id=1276) are now on the FHM web site. She looks great, of course, but I agree she needs to lose the lab coat. 🙂

This is a link to the video clip of the shoot (you have to sit thru a short ad)…

I agree, I was a little disappointed in the lack of skin. Was hoping Kari was gonna shed her good-girl image a little more…
