    Bettie Page

    I remember someone saying they were a fan. So heres an article i found:-

    Bettie Page: the queen of pin-up





    Born Bettie Mae Page on April 22, 1923, died December 11, 2008, aged 85.
    WGSN pays tribute to legendary model Bettie Page, whose playful sexuality and unique raven-haired look embodied the wholesome mood of the 50s and also helped fuel the sexual revolution of the 60s. Her style and spirit has hugely influenced and challenged lingerie and swimwear design; WGSN predicts (and hopes) it will continue to do so for years to come.













    Also known as the Dark Marilyn, Jungle Bettie, Satan's Angel and the Queen of Curves, Bettie Page started her modelling career posing for titles like Wink, Eyeful and Beauty Parade, men's magazines from a more innocent era. Soon she was starring in more elaborate themed shoots, including her infamous jungle scenarios clad in leopard-print swimsuits and featuring live animals. Noticed by Hugh Hefner, she was shot for the centrefold of the Christmas edition Playboy in January 1955.






    Bettie made many of the skimpy bikinis for the shoots herself and much of the lingerie came from Frederick's of Hollywood. The extreme heels and cone bras were provided by the studios where she shot the controversial bondage photographs that would increase her notoriety in ways she would sometimes regret. Even through her fetish era, Bettie kept a look of innocence, her damsel-in-distress poses seeming more fun than promiscuous.
    Bettie Page's free-spirited nudity and lack of inhibition came across in her natural smile and candid poses, making her America's ultimate girl-next-door-gone-bad fantasy girl.











    Bettie stopped modelling in her 30s (in 1957) and seemed to step out of the limelight after that. In the few interviews she did, she refused to have her picture taken: "I want people to remember me as when I was young and in my golden times," she said. "I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people's perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form."
    Bettie's image has enjoyed a cult revival in the last 20 years, resulting in innumerable movies, books, products and websites dedicated to her image. Inspired by their heroine, actresses, models and girls into tattoo culture and hot rod racing today mimic Page's raven bangs, spiked heels and exaggerated curves.
