Bettie Page

Famed Pin-up model Bettie Page has passed at 85.
The first I knew of her was this exuberant cover to the CD "Sexplosion" by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult (recommended). Bettie was a positive role model. She was the incarnation of happy and innocent, even when she was posing in SM gear. Bless her.


I very much liked the movie about her.

That was a good movie. Definitely worth a re-watch. The DVD has one of the older BP short/stag movies on it too.

Why did you say "passed" instead of "died"? Death is a part of life. We all are going to do it. I hope mine does not happen for many years, but find it strange the number of people that can not even use the word.

I just think "died" and "dead" are crass words which are used on everything. Using "passed" is polite language which acknowledges we are talking about a person.

I agree, Eo...

Spoken like the truly polite gentleman that you are, I think it adds respect to the person and...the family and friends that have lost her.

Thanks for using such a sensitive term. I think it's nice. Bless you! :-)
