I was sad to read today that Bettie Page had died yesterday. Even though the last decades of her life were purposely spent in seclusion, rarely leaving her home. She said in a rare interview that she wanted her fans to think of her when she was her most beautiful.
A lot of people and businesses (including Suicide Girls) owe much of their success to the groundbreaking steps in pin-up and nude modeling that Bettie Page did. She was a rebel, a Pioneer and an activist in a time when women were expected to stay at home, only expose their bodies, cook and clean and raise children for their husbands.
Bettie page took risks and paid a price for her choices. Please take a moment today to consider the many things that Bettie Page did that makes possible the things you enjoy.
Goodbye Bettie, we thank you and miss you.
