Bettie had a way with the movement of her body, the twinkle in her eye, the innocence of her smile that models/actresses try to emulate today - whom only create a tramped up version of the original. This page created by Caren Adams 1999. Updated 2003.

 

Bettie Page: the Queen of Pinups, the Dark Angel, the Queen of Curves, the Girl Next Door - whatever you refer to her as, she will forever leave an indelible mark on the planet. Quite a tribute to a gal who just posed for photographs - but it is true. No one else comes close to the infectious beauty that is Bettie Page.
Men and women alike are avid fans of this 1950s pinup model. Why such a following? Perhaps because Bettie Page has a certain underground feel.

The bondage photos she did with Irving & Paula Klaw, although not sexual in nature, certainly are of the fetish scene. The bondage films & photos Bettie partook in were tame in comparison to most everything else available to those who get a kick out of the same genre.

Then there is Bunny Yeager: the most famous of all those who were priviledged enough to photograph Bettie. Bunny and Bettie made an unbeatable team - Bunny knew how to photograph a woman to her best advantage. And Bettie knew how to pose to her best advantage. Just look at the photo below!
