Karen Tyler was discovered by Nicole Tyler. They met at a topless club called DiCarlo’s in Colonie, New York, a suburb of Albany, and became friends. Karen’s pictures were submitted and she was sent a plane ticket to London.
Karen attended Albany college, became an exotic dancer and followed Nicole’s dance steps by becoming a traveling feature. Karen’s first SCORE magazine appearance was in the November 1996 edition. This girl-girl with Nicole was published in April 1997 SCORE and called “Tyler 2 Tyler.”
The club is still going strong today (website: DiCarlosAlbany.com) after a change in ownership when the original owner Sal DiCarlo passed away.
