Pin-up legend Bettie Page died today at the age of 85.... I'm so sad. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE BETTIE PAGE!!! She's my idol. My fetish for hosiery, garters, corsets,
(check out those cuban heel back seam thigh high stockings....oooooooooh, makes me feel all tingly)
The first time I saw a picture of Bettie Page I had to have been 12 or 13.... it was in a store that's no longer around, Artsy Phartzy, and there was a Bettie Page t-shirt displayed on the wall. I didn't know who or what the heck she was, but I knew right then and there that I liked it. It's odd that I remember such a thing, because I have the memory of a goldfish.... that shows you how much of an impression this woman made on me. Needless to say, she has had influence in my life for some time now.
I just love Bettie's combination of naughty and nice.... in some of her photos she looks sweet and innocent, and in others she looks like she'll make you sorry you didn't finish all your brussel sprouts (or perhaps glad that you didn't).
To me, Bettie represents the freedom of the inner self..... that bad girl in all of us. Bettie was the epitome of sexy, the embodiment of fantasy..... the quintessential pin-up.
RIP, Bettie.

hmm... i'd never hear of bettie till now... and now i feel like i've missed out...
i love pinup girls! i really feel like they do such a great job of showing what a woman's body is supposed to be like--soft, curvacious, sexy...
btw, i think that both fishnets and those sheer black with the back seams are the epitome of sexy!!!
wow wow wow! what a woman! not like the hoes of today, lol. i'd heard the name before. somethign about the pics are sexy and not slutty. maybe cuz it's in black and white.
Yeah she's lookin real saucy right there, oh boy...
