Without Bettie Page laying the ground work for alternative modeling, and inspiring the photographers who then inspired me, i'd never be doing photography. my 1 true love. she may have been modest in her later years, but my god how she changed the world. rest in peace bettie page
My first exposure to her was her fetish shots. i spent almost 10 years thinking she was just a kink. then i saw her other work and gained enlightenment. she was a class act. she was a goddess on film. when a goddess like her slips away from us we all feel like heaven just got a lot harder to reach. god i hope god lets her pretty up the place now. bye bye, love.
She was a goddess on camera and her image will last forever. She will always be remembered as a groundbreaking model who changed the industry forever.
She was definately an inspirational model, and it still amazes me how popular her old pics could be even today. She will be missed.
Damn, RIP Bettie. At least, you lived long enough to see a wonderful movie made about you. My favorite: Oh that naughty girl.
