Timmers Loc: San Antonio Texas.

Why two posts? This is where Bettie belongs being posted, but most read the general forum.

One can see the hand of John Willie here, so appropriate to her and his collaborations.

I didn't like this image of Betty when it was new, and it hasn't gained any appeal over the years!

Historically relevant. The film that was to be a presentation of the "Life of Bettie Page" was truly an idiots delight for the main stream notion of the life of an important individual of our cultural past. In the film there is a one on one with a male figure, not properly identified, nor his importance examined. That of course was the infamous John Willie, creator of the 'Sweet Gwendoline' persona as a cartoon and his publication Bizarre.

It is imposable to sort out what people like Bettie and her relationship to the Klaw brother and sister who operated a mail order as supplier of erotic work and how this has relevance to the whole spirit of the time that drove artists like Eric Straton and the creation of the Wounder Woman phenomenon. It is the same contuatation of the same mindless and childish tom foolery that we see in today's comic on film that are modern day famous funnies none sense.

Likeing and disliking in the arts is a similar form of censorship. But thank goodness we have that First Amendment Right to protect free speech, like the 'naughty' forum here at the Hog.

Thanks for at least a comment to the post. I did know Bettie Page, yet by getting to know people who did know her and of her I can better understand what she did to alter the world that I live in.

Thanks Bettie!

I have to agree, that picture of Betty is not my cup of tea.

Yes, yes, but it was her cup of tea. So who was drinking from the cup?

This image of Bettie was posted to an account on Deviant Art by a member who had purchased the print on e-bay. He then had (paid) Bettie sigh the print and a notary as witness to her signature at the time of signature.

Just wanted to share and say that Bettie Page was finally given her due (celebrity status) as one of the 20th Centuries iconic persons.

It is also one of the finer quality images to emerge from her modeling sessions. Love the smile and the posing and all of the naughty attire, truly she holds the title of Queen of Pin Up Art.

I agree. It's just a photo of a woman without some clothing. Somebody’s girlfriend, perhaps. I have seen and have in my collection many photos that are clearly “Oh Wow!” glamour. Peter Gowland used to do many of them back in the 1960’s.
