With the recent interest and revival of glamour, burlesque and the like it's worth remembering how much of an influence Page was on all of that. Although in terms of the recent revivial (which is much more 40s based) she was a bit late to the game so many of the images that people associate with that type of glamour and 'naughty but nice' girls you can't deny her influence and general fabulousness.

Betty Page rawked like no one else. Sad to see her pass. She's a legend and I'm glad in the most recent two decades (or more) her life was looked at with respect and awe.

At 85, she lived a long life. There is no sadness in that.

I hope she passed peacefully.


The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Hmm, a staple of my naughty childhood has passed. A true shame. She joins Veronica Lake as one of the true American Sex Symbols that had a very rough life after the limelight died.

Hope heaven treats her better than life did.


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Something pithy!
