so lets ogle her
bettie page died two years ago yesterday at the age of 85. i can’t say that she hasn’t been an inspiration for me in the past and still is somewhat, whatever, homages are cheesy SORRY. such a class act that lady was and so, i tip my metaphorical hat.
“modesty is for ugly people”
oh bettie, heaven knows what an inspiration you are to me (and raymi and other folks). i wore your hairstyle for years and hobbled around stripper shops trying to figure out how to walk in your 6 inches. i was so super sad when i stupidly erased the last remaining copy of my 3000 plus photo scans of you that time. this time i am much sadder. and grateful. may you rest in peace bettie page.
Raymi, I’d like to see you with a Bettie Page fringe. Thanks for sharing the pics on your blog.
sass i ripped that line from a blog
Pretty racy for the 50’s!
OK NOW Raymi, your adoring public would like to see you in some of those same poses and/or outfits! Oh, come on!
Well I bet you’d sooner do that than cut your bangs THAT short! bUt really- there are some striking similarities- and you can almost tell her sense of humor was almost as goofy as yours!
Be at peace, Betti-
And ‘m waitin’ fer them thar outfits on you! Well, minus the bondage, spanking and other kinkiness… is there a drink out there strong enough? Maybe Absinthe?
aw bettie. beautiful bettie. so sad.
i went to the bettie page store in vegas and it was amazing. i bought super high red heels. if you ever get a chance check it out. the clothing is all designed by the store owner. very cool.
I can’t see the pics on my bb but that last line is fucking golden. I should have that tattooed somewhere with you cited as the author in the byline
Rest in peace, Bettie.
Great collection, reminds me just how great a piece of @$$ she truly was.
And she and I share the same birthplace.
oh wait you’re right it was yesterday not 2006, she had a heart attack 9 days ago and never woke up, died in her sleep. fucking internet and it’s accuracy. http://74.124.203.198/~charle13/obit/index.html
I thought she just died. I read she just had a heart attack.
so iconic, so influential.
she died last week though, not 2 years ago: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/12/bettie-page-the.html
