Cover Girl Caption THE GIBSON GIRL - Bari Gibson, UNLV Fine Arts Major was born here (23) years ago. Lovely Bari is always busy keeping abreast (36) of things. She doesn't waist (24) any time, and her friends consider her very hip (36). A past Playboy model, she says she considers life a Ball.

"Sexy Bari Gibson was one of my favorites. She was also photographed at one of my favorite spots, the good ol' Vegas Wash. South of Flamingo around Mcleod (now a shopping mall). It had trees, brush and some abandoned rustic houses, and it still had the needed privacy, even though it wasn't far to go from civilization. Las Vegas born, Bari was a showgirl at the time, putting herself through college at UNLV. All Natural, she projected a refreshing honesty and that is always sexy."RSH
