Bettie Page: The Original Beautiful




As you can see from the interview above, Bettie Page was not only a gorgeous pin-up queen but a sexual revolutionary. With her beautiful smile and amazing figure Page gave the conservative 1950s a swift kick in the face. Bettie was born April 22, 1923 in Nashville, Tennessee. She is famous for her pin-up as well as her fetish modeling, some of which can be seen below.

Bettie is considered to be the third most famous pin-up model (after Monroe and Mansfield) and it's easy to see why. Her brown eyes burn with excitement as she tooks into the camera. In Bettie Page one sees a woman who's having fun with her sexuality. Bettie embodies the taboo as well as the glamour. Bettie's look is timeless and because of this the world has never ended its love affair with her undying beauty. As long as there is a sun in the sky there will be the legend and wonder of the amazing Bettie Page!

To end this post about all things Bettie, we leave you with a rare glimpse into Bettie's big screen life with a clip from the burlesque feature Varietease. Enjoy!




WE LOVE YOU BETTIE!
