I hate it when I start to take myself seriously and get disappointed when I see someone post something that I was just about to do. I had been meaning to delve into a few links about The Notorious Bettie Page before the new movie comes out. Too late, since I've seen Bettie links all over the place. When did I start thinking that I was doing something even remotely original? We are fishing in a shallow pool and this is to be expected. Bettie is a classic icon of pin-ups, whose style and beauty have influenced many who have followed, so yet another look at this woman of mystery isn't a bad thing at all:
