A Tragic Loss

Via blog-bud Phlegmmy... the inimitable Bettie Page died yesterday. The vid is work-safe, unless your workplace has something against beautiful women in lingerie.



Bettie fueled the fantasies of many a man (and boys, too, one of which I cheerfully admit being) in the way-back. She also created a specific genre of erotica (OK... soft-core porn) that lives to this day.

RIP, Ms. Page. Thank you.

  1. Let's face it - Bettie was just HAWT! Here's to a gal who can take a bit of a spanking and keep on smiling. ;)

  2. You know she had "it" when women to this very day still try to look like her.

    So long Bettie.

  3. That was fascinating and ridiculous. Those heels, those hose, that pointedie little bra, and panties that come up to your waist - gosh I'm glad that times have changed. I came in on the tail end of wearing hose and garter belts. They may have been sexy, but what a pain in the butt - literally sometimes. And yet, so very sexy!

  4. Many an adolescent boy owes a great debt of gratitude to Betty Page. Me included. God bless you, Betty!

  5. Wow, Phlegmmy... you were quick! Thanks yet again.

    Tim: You're oh-so-right in your comment.

    Lou: I'll agree: the shoes ARE ridiculous. The rest? Not so much. ;-)

    Interesting comment on the hose & garter belt thing. I never knew a woman who wore real hose, except for my Mom. Well, I should clarify that... I meant day-to-day wear. I've known several women who had garter belts for... ummm... recreational purposes. You're right, the things are VERY sexy. I still have a soft spot in my heart for 'em. But sadly... no recent experience.

    Jim: re: debts to Bettie. You and me both, Bud... as noted.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
