The co-founder of Lush Cosmetics North America Karen Delaney Wolverton has modeled swimwear for 34 years

Karen Delaney Wolverton and her husband Mark, of 25 years, co-founded Lush Cosmetics North America 23 years ago. Today they own 255 stores and they manufacture Lush products for all of Canada and the United States.

Karen says, "In addition to being very involve with Lush, I travel around the world to support charity work. I have been to Africa 62 times."

Karen first modeled Ujena swimwear in 1984 and appeared on the cover of Swimwear Illustrated (photo) the same year wearing the Classic Twist. Ujena founder and chief photographer, Bob Anderson took the image.

"Karen has been on location with us most years since 1984," says Bob Anderson who once again had her in front of his lens in October. "It is hard to believe that Karen (top photo) is 54-years-old because she looks as beautiful as ever in a bikini."

After that most recent photo shoot Karen posted this on Facebook last October. "This year marks 34 years that I have been with Ujena swimwear. Shooting with them in Cabo for the past couple of days has made me feel good about turning a year older...again. Thanks."

Karen has two children, her 22-year-old girl recently graduated with a degree in animation from Loyola Marymount University. Her 19-year-old son plays hockey and is about to enter a University in Canada.

What does Karen do to stay in such good bikini shape? "Hmmm, I stay in shape by walking a lot, hiking and eating well. I also have such a supportive beautiful family that encourage me," she says.

"I am happy and blessed that I am healthy and have been able to wear Ujena swimsuits since 1984."

“I always enjoy having Karen on our set. And what Karen and Mark have done with Lush and their charities is simply amazing,” says Bob.
