Amuse Bouche: Celebrating Bettie Page

We lost an icon last week. 50’s pin-up girl Bettie Page passed away from complications from a heart attack. She was 85.

Page had a rough childhood, according to her website, but managed to get a college education (and later a master’s degree), and rose to stardom as the 50’s most ubiquitous pin-up girl.

She mysteriously disappeared from the public eye in 1958. The details of that time are all now available, from her religious epiphany to her eventual mental breakdown.

    Betty Page was a REAL woman!!! Not some silicone sister or some anorexic waif!! I grew up looking at women like this!! She is the archetypal “babe”. She exuded sexiness from every pore! Today’s women could learn much from her!!
