RIP Bettie Page

Awww, bummer. Bettie page passed away (which is a nice way of saying her heart stopped beatting which lead to her brain sufficating and receiving no blood, a condition usually resulting in death and then occasionally moving into zombieism) yesturday around 6PM EST.

I was always a sucker from Raven haired beauties.
 
WHAT? Oh shit. That really sucks. Another icon gone. But, then again, she wasn't exactly "herself" as of late either.

fixed.


But seriously, her seclusion led most people to think she was dead anyway.

I knew she gained some weight, but thats not what i was talking about. She was a paranoid schizophrenic.
 
People were making a fortune on her images and not even offering her a dime for the longest time so i'm glad Hugh Heffner introduced her to a lawyer that helped market and license her images and helped her make some money from her image and status as an icon before she died.

You mean you don't recognize HER?

she looks like the era she's from was when women were that normal shape women were designed to be instead of stick thin.
Can't say i have seen her before though

You know me , always some where in left field...... But I will say if she from the WWII era , a trip to the bush would probably be literal . Is she where Betty Boop came from?

Of course she was THE most famous pin-up model and THE most famous fetish model of all times.

And this picture is possibly the most tattooed women's portrait of all times.

I can't believe some of you have never heard of her. She has always been near and dear to my heart...and uh...other parts.

R.I.P. Betty. You will live forever as an icon.



THE NOTORIOUS BETTY PAGE with Gretchen Moll is, while not great, worth seeing.
