So long Bettie


Bettie Page passed away this week, she was (is) the definitive pin up girl icon. Her carefree and playful nature inspired photos that really define what pin ups are all about, at least for me. While I've done my share of girlie drawings, I often joke that I prefer the '40's and '50's style imagery, back when sex was cute ;) And none were cuter than Bettie Page.

So what can you say about someone who put a smile on generations of faces and inspired a zillion artists??? Well, I just did this little painiting of you Bettie, and I'll say so long and thanks!

She was the Queen of the Pin-Up and no one since has come even close to claiming her crown.

Rest In Peace and know you will be remembered always.

Nice tribute - I'm with you, and prefer cute pinups! Bettie's reign stood the test of time, while she lived in the shadows for decades. Bettie Forever!
