Bettie Page, RIP
Blogs and mainstream media alike are exploding with encomia for the late great Bettie Page. Seeing as how she was, and always will be, a visual icon, it seems to me her memory is best celebrated in pictures:

Anyone noticed the line below in the AP report? I found it offensive. I don’t like how it made it seemed like she was a victim of circumstance. “fell under the influence”
“In 1951, Page fell under the influence of a photographer and his sister who specialized in S&M. They cut her hair into the dark bangs that became her signature and posed her in spiked heels and little else. She was photographed with a whip in her hand, and in one session she was spread-eagled between two trees, her feet dangling.”
I don’t know about the particulars of her and her life, but when I see her pictures all I can say is Amen brother!!
I have long been curious what Bettie Page looked like later in life. After her retirement from modeling, I read that she only allowed herself to be photographed one time…. that was at some Playboy Magazine function around 2003. Can anyone point me to that picture?

Thats the only one I could find
That movie they made about her – is it true that she became a born again Christian and wasn’t really into BDSM, just posed for the pics without thinking about it? God I love her look…
