HUMBLE PHOTO TRIBUTE TO THE QUEEN OF THE CURVES: BETTIE PAGE

A selection of really nice pictures of saultry Tennessee girl Bettie Page (or sometimes Betty Page if you are searching the net). There were really two types of photos from Bettie and one was the cheese cake style that Bunny Yeager did and the other was the “dark” stuff by Irving Klaw that got her into a bit of trouble later on. Some fans are divided on which represented the “true” Bettie while I have always felt both did. I have to admit that I like the dark, bondage stuff with Bettie while I cannot say I usually prefer this style from that period due to the quality. Or maybe I do prefer it but worry what people might say about me behind my back. But some of the dark style images with her were simply great photographs and Bettie’s radiant personality comes out in all of them. Klaw was essentially a “noir” phogograher of sorts but could take good pictures. The bottom two pictures (above images) with the stuffed leopard are from Yeager I believe while the others are from her infamous New York City work. She is simply too sexy for words and it is easy to see why she was 2nd only to Marilyn Monroe in the 1950’s as the most photographed model the US. Below is a link to her really excellent looking and easy to navigate webpage. It has improved vastly since the last time I checked it out.

Also included are links to pages for Irving Klaw and Bunny Yeager to show the diversity of their work and how they both saw Bettie from different angles that helped create her angel-devil mystique.

    Holy cow! Bettie Page, Julie Newmar, Hammer girls, Fripp… It is disturbing and quite cool how many of the same things we dig! I really like how you post the large galleries of photos on the entries. You actually had some Bettie pictures I hadn’t seen yet! Too cool!

    Your sidebar is looking great too! I love all the picture links you added to the featured artists.

    Oh and thanks for turning me on to the LAMB site it’s pretty cool and I hadn’t seen it before!

    yes that is why I liked your bog so much, there were so many similarities in taste and also the tendency to not let our sites get pigeon holed too much into one theme (i.e. cult movies only, or music only….) I assume the streaming media I put up works on other computers because it does not all the time on this slow ass connection of mine.

    I admire Fripp so much and feel such music needs promotion. I ahve some music posts coing soon on The Cramps and Lords of Acid as well… and even cowboy crooner Marty Robbins. I like all the normal bands too but no need to promote them I feel.

    I am so happy you paid a visit and I hope you come by more. I am gonna try some graphic work again soon and post some sketched here and I will beep you when I do. I have not worked in years and am out of the groove.

    Thanks

    Bill
