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.

Dita's Science of Bras

Dita Von Teese just launched her line of lingerie for Wonderbra, "Sexy Science by Dita" in Europe. Sadly the bras only go up to a DD cup - you'd think after their last campaign for Wonderbra's D to G, they'd keep that going, but alas - I'll just stick to Freya.

Posh Softens it up for British Vogue

I love the softer hair on Posh in this video from her shoot for the British edition of Vogue. Looks like it will be a gorgeous spread.

Let's just hope she keeps this hair - I'd actually like to see her grow it.

Winehouse Knows Nothing About "Fashion"

Amy Winehouse performed for the Fendi show this past Friday to a crowd of fashion elite: Karl Lagerfeld, the Arnaults, and Silvia Fendi, and celebs: preggers Jessica Alba, the glaikit-looking Olsen twins, Kanye West, Rihanna, Claudia Schiffer, and Sofia Coppola.

According to WWD, Amy was reported to have said, “Forgive my ignorance, I don't know anything about fashion.”

That coming from the girl whose overdrawn cat eyes and beehive have inspired hair & makeup artists around the globe and even Karl Lagerfeld who considers her a style icon.

She may not know her Fendi from her Prada, but Winehouse certainly knows what personal style is all about - and it has nothing to do with fashion.

BTW - How scary skinny does she look??!!!
