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.
ReplyDeleteWhy 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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! :-)
