is bettie page not the hottest chick?

[velvetbutterfly9]

i beleive bettie page to be very hott......what about you?

[Sceptic_Messiah]

back in the day maybe.......she's getting on a bit now though :P

[velvetbutterfly9]

[memorydream]

Sure. Not the hottest, but definetly beautiful and appealing.

[Mirren]

For the time period yeah but she's old hat now, she'll always have her following. In her day she was doing something profound and taboo, now it's everywhere. I mean she is a born-again Christian and embarassed of her past, so apparently she wasn't that down with it. Probably just doing it to make ends meet , little did she know what she would start.

Not of her entire past...mainly the fetish stuff. Back in the early 90's before she really hit big as a "marketable good" she was quite amazed by the attention she garnered by so many artists and was shocked to have fans. She's always been partial to the work she did toward the end of her career anyhow. Plus it always added a bit more life to her work that she wasen't 100% into it as it where...you can see she always gave her best none the less. Their is a certain look in her eyes that you just don't see in a lot of models, pin ups, etc...but I'm not exactly the most impartial...been a fan since I first saw her (well a rendition of her really) in Dave Steven's Rocketeer comics I had way back when. Finding out she was REAL sorta blew me away...been a fan ever since. Made a hell of a mint selling my memorabilia when she became REALLY popular a few years back.

There are many others from her era that attained more imediate success but she's one of the few to become almost a myth and icon...hell of a thing really given that she left it all when she was still in her prime looks wise. I think it's what makes her so timeless...instead of dying young and leaving a good looking corpse...she left before we saw her get old...quite rare to pull off and stick too.

I really dont see it. Not ugly yeah, but hot? Err;[

[keiko]

She's all right I suppose. Never found her to be the embodiment of all that I find drop dead gorgeous, but she's pretty enough.

Bit crusty.

[BrightStar]

Show me a photo, and Ill let you know what I think.

[CeruleanFire]

seen the pics of her from the Playboy 50th anniversary? very interesting....

[Amelia G]

I totally agree with Jax and Keiko on this one. Some of my favorite models have done looks inspired by Bettie Page, but the original just never seemed that inspirational to me. She is by no means ugly, but I think the art and even the girls she inspired really outshine her.

[memorydream]

Wow, gettin' some punk rock attitude over Miss Page, aren't we?

[Lady-Orchard]

Indeed she was back in the day.
But she is getting a little bit up, there if she isn't dead already. :p

[karyn]

For some reason, I always thought she was only okay.

The photos of the woman herself are not exciting to me, but I know the artwork you are talking about and it is incredible. It really sticks in my mind.

[shesinparties]

Bettie stands out to me just like Marilyn Monroe...I think they both were very beautiful..unusual looking and having their own style that many have tried to recreate-I tend to find more beauty in the originality these women stood for than what they actually looked like.

[Gothickitty]

My neice just got her betty bangs. She has wanted them for almost a year. She looks really cute

[Vempyrik]

RAWR for bettie

[MidniteCliche]

she's got a classic beauty and I apreciate her presence, but no, I don't think that ahe is the hottest woman. I find that people are influenced and attracted to her image, not face in particular. The are others just as, if not more beautiful before and after her...besides, hottness is in the eye of the beholder.
