“Pawn Stars” sales assistant Olivia Black may have been let go from the hit History Channel TV series because of sexy photos from her racy past, but she’s keeping her place at the bricks-and-mortar store Gold & Silver Pawn on Las Vegas Boulevard.

I find it hard to believe that THC did not know Olivia was a model for Suicide Girls. Olivia is a very attractive hipster and an asset to the show and Las Vegas.
