When I saw the images of Bettie Page today in stories of her passing, it brought back a memory. My mother was always a snooper, so I come by it quite honestly. While looking for something else, I found a shoe box in the guest bedroom. I was around 12 years old. The perfect age for curiosity to get the best of me.
Inside were postcards, pictures and tiny little calendars with girls on them. Pictures very similar to the one above. Some naked. Some scantily clad. All of them were gorgeous. Nothing like I'd seen before.
I would sneak down that box and look whenever I was left alone in the house. My mother had kept the calendar because it was full of dates that she had been on when she was single.
What a feast for the eyes. Rest in peace, Bettie.

Back when t was beautiful to keep your clothes on..
RIP
you didn't ask your Mom about the dates? oh curiousity would of got the better of me.
Sneaky little girl.
my mom was/is too conservative to have anything cool to snoop in. i find some women beautiful. i agree w mind of a madman. when it was beautiful to keep your clothes on. r.i.p. bettie.
that was a pretty sleek body, wasn't it?
Oh my god! I was such a snooper too! My parents had "The Joy of Sex" and I used to sneak it out of the hope chest, where it was tucked away under a blanket, every time I was left alone.
I was terribly sad to hear of Betty's passing. She was/is an icon and I'll always have a bit of a crush on her.
I was a snooper too. Never found anything other than a few copies of Cosmopolitan magazine though. Boring house. LOL
R.I.P. Bettie
I snooped too.
I found a "JOINT" that my Mom had!
I couldnt believe it!
I kept going back and checking to see if and when she smoked it!
But she never did...
So, one day when I was in my 30's I questioned her about it! She got SO embarrassed and SWORE it wasnt hers! Said someone gave it to her and she didnt know what to do with it!
Yeah, ok Ma.
I saw the news on another blog recently, I'd never heard of Betty before that. She was a beauty no mistake.
I watched one of the Indie Sex segments on IFC (Independent Film Channel...total gem in the rough in the vast wasteland of cable!) and Bettie Page never considered what she did as "dirty" or anything...she did what she loved doing and she made that very accessible to the public. Kudos to the lady who thrusted BDSM into the consciousness of the mainstream.
I was watching Sugar last night on Survivor ...a beauty that calls back to the time of ms paige ....beauty and honesty ...and honesty is a powerfully erotic thing.
she was certainly a force... i always had a thing for her..
Sad news about Ms. Page...
She was incredible...
bettie was one of a kind
I was always the snoop out of all the siblings - unfortunately with my parents the stuff we found was probably better off let alone
Uh oh, you were a nosey parker ; )
(the most bone chilling line for me in the movie 9-1/2 Weeks)
I hadn't heard about Bettie's passing. A sad day.
You naughty naughty girl you! :)
Yours Truly,
One of the Gays! :)
She was good looking broad. They don't make pinup girls like they used to.
I always feel a bit sad when I hear of the passing of someone who was "historical". She was, in many ways, a pioneer.
may she rest in peace .
That "pin up" beauty is amazing. I wish more of us looked like that today.
She really was GORGEOUS!
..she truly was the shiz-nat...
There is nothing like the passing of a beautiful woman to bring a tear to your eye...or mine...God Speed...As for you beautiful lady...didnt we all have those treasure troves? ;-)
I've got an idea here..
For a nice montage, you should pose in some of Bettie's best-known photos, and post them..
It'd make for an awesome HNT series, if anything!
Omg, my Mom was a total snooper! But in a weird "I want a reason to punish you" way. Not the fun way, like THIS one!
Back when healthy bodies were beautiful... *SIGH*
A sad day indeed.
I snooped too. Not much to report because my parents didn't keep secrets. So they said.
:)
Yeah I was sad to hear of her passing. I'm sure though, that every little goth clone girl with that hairdo have had a candlelight vigil in her honor too.
RIP Betty! She was great.
I hope it's not disrespectful, but thinking of her brings the words "Hubba Hubba" to mind. She had "it."
I was (and still am) a snoopy sista... I don't mean to be... genetic disorder.
My daughter has a gorgeous poster of Betty in her room.
I like the vintage look of those pic...
My parental units had Vaseline by the bed - one of those tubs of it. nothing like a little petroleum on your naughty bits to get you going...
I can say that this lady is really having the beautiful and impressive boobs. I always love to prefer the pillow blogs.
