RIP Bettie Page: The Ultimate Pin-up

Bettie Page died at the age of 85.

"I don't know what they mean by an icon. I never thought of myself as being that. It seems strange to me. I was just modeling, thinking of as many different poses as possible. I made more money modeling than being a secretary. I had a lot of free time. You could go back to work after an absence of a few months. I couldn't do that as a secretary." - Bettie Page

There are some great links to articles on The Infectious Bettie Page blog if you want to learn more about her life.
