The right facial expression can be the difference between a really good photo and a mediocre one.<BR/><BR/>Dave--thank you!<BR/><BR/>Valdor--Oddly enough, that was one of the things that was special about her--the fact that she didn't think she was special at all. Her fans, of course, beg to differ.<BR/><BR/>Mina--that she will.

Thanks for the great pictures too. The last one was a real surprise and yet so right for the time of year!<BR/><BR/>"She always said she wasn't trying to be shocking, or a pioneer, and she didn't think of herself as liberated or ahead of her time." <BR/><BR/>How true. I read that she even disapproved of the word "notorious" in the title of the Gretchen Mol film. She didn't think of herself in that way at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179602961265161012.post-74574878986081526722008-12-14T02:53:00.000-06:002008-12-14T02:53:00.000-06:00excellent tribute indeed, Dr. Ken.excellent tribute indeed, Dr. Ken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179602961265161012.post-33027221424400085602008-12-13T14:26:00.000-06:002008-12-13T14:26:00.000-06:00Great tribute, Dr. Ken.

I had planned to do a Bettie tribute, but yours was so well done that I just linked to it. I also added your blog to my blog roll.<BR/><BR/>I read your profile. Ironically, I am a 57-year-old spankee looking for a spanker. :-)<BR/><BR/>pammiepammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787606887791489887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179602961265161012.post-12717590970692463082008-12-13T13:39:00.000-06:002008-12-13T13:39:00.000-06:00CJ--thank you.

She never really understood the hows or whys of her fame. She only modelled for 7 years--1950 to 1957--and figured her photos would have been forgotten long ago. She always said she wasn't trying to be shocking, or a pioneer, and she didn't think of herself as liberated or ahead of her time. As she put it, "I was just myself"--which, come to think of it, may be another reason for her continued popularity.<BR/><BR/>Andrades--I'm glad you enjoyed it. I already had most of the pictures on my hard drive, but I had to go looking for that last one--odd, since that's the picture I remember the most! (And, as you can imagine, the picture wasn't hard to find...)<BR/><BR/>Radha--Maybe it's because I'm older--practically ancient, even (but not too old to warm a few bottoms, so careful with the comments, everyone!)--but it always surprises me when people DON'T know who Bettie Page is. I was listening to the radio on Friday, and the talk show host asked her two co-hosts if they knew who Bettie Page was. They both said, "No." One of them, for a few moments, thought the host was referring to someone local.<BR/> When the host asked the guy running the board, though, his response was a big, "Oh, sure!"<BR/>That made me smile....Dr. Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742271726869199989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179602961265161012.post-81140790636554489352008-12-12T14:18:00.000-06:002008-12-12T14:18:00.000-06:00I agree, the pictures are fantastic!
