This morning I heard a bit of bad news. At the age of 85, Bettie Page has been hospitalized after suffering a heart attack, and is now in critical condition. Some of you may be asking "Who is Bettie Page & Why do you care Mr. Sassy Britches Blogger Man?" If you don't know who Bettie Page is, well shame on you. Jump in my creepy van (please ignore the bikes, candy, and puppies all marked "free") and we'll take a trip back to the 50's pin-up scene.
Bettie Page was born in Nashville, Tennessee on April 22, 1923. She had a pretty F'd up childhood, moved around a lot, married then divorced early, and then in 1950 she moved to NYC and started modeling. From 1950-1957 Bettie posed for Playboy and posed for a ton of very popular pin-up and bondage themed photos. In 1959 Bettie converted to Christianity and ended her modeling career, and lived happily ever after.
Now for the "Why do you care Mr. Sassy Britches Blogger Man" part of the story. In case you don't know, I'm a guy, and Bettie page was SO hot. She looks like an 85 year old woman now, but in the 50's...OMFG! She was the kind of girl that would cause many a man to stray from their marriage, turn Catholic Priests straight and away from the choir boys, get many a woman all slushy in the pants, and cause men to do painful & humiliating things to themselves and others all just to see her naked. The things guys would do to have sex with her, I can't even mention here, it's that bad. She was hot & slutty but in a good way, a classy way. There was a very seductive shy look about her that drew you into to her naughty "gonna break you in two, can't walk straight for a week" kinda look that really did it for her, and for me too.
So take a second to look her up (ignoring the terrible movie made about her), and wish her well on her recovery.
