Alas, another legend has passed. If you're a Dita von Teese fan, make sure to pay homage to the original pinup queen, Bettie Page. She lived to be 85 and passed away yesterday in LA. She broke the rules in the '50s. She had a hand in the exploration of female sexuality, creating a liberated character in risque lingerie and skimpy bikinis — not too mention taboo toys like whips and eye masks. Here's to you, Miss Bettie.

    Exploration or exploitation? Clearly, a woman ahead of her time. I imagine she was considered quite scandelous at the time. And how bout those bangs? They're bangin'. The quality of the photography always creeps me out a little with her. Like a B movie. I don't know much about her life though. I wish starlets/covergirls today would not use plastic surgery so much to fix their noses, chins and boobs, lips or whatever. Maybe Dita will do a movie about her?
