Bettie Page was uninhibited, sexually playful, and comfortable with her body. She also happened to look great in black stockings and garter belt.
The very fact that she existed in that state caused her much trouble. That is a shame. I think she is an incredible woman.
Yeah, going around looking/acting all "bunkey" like that can cause some problems. Of course, I felt some sexual kinship with her when I read/saw that she was known for smiling like she was handing out apple pie when she posed in bondage gear and that she sewed her own bikinis for her semi-nude shots. Also, I read that she had a great love for literature and viewed her work with the photo clubs as a sort of "playing pretend".
