50's Pin-Up Queen Dies








LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Bettie Page, one of America's most photographed pin-up girls during the 1950s, died in Los Angeles on Thursday from pneumonia, her agent said. She was 85.
Page was a ubiquitous sight during the 1950s, propelled to stardom when she posed for Playboy as Miss January 1955. Soon her image was gracing playing cards, record albums and bedroom posters across the country.
She stopped modeling in 1957, retreated from the public spotlight and turned to religion. She enjoyed a renaissance of sorts in the 1980s, as a new generation of fans became obsessed with her legacy.
Her agent, Mark Roesler, said Page was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital four weeks ago. She never regained consciousness after suffering a heart attack earlier this month.
With her dark bangs, alluring blue-gray eyes and wide smile, Page cultivated an innocent girl-next-door persona. The one-time school teacher was nice, but clearly also naughty. Some of her photos featured spanking and bondage.
"Bettie Page embodied the stereotypical wholesomeness of the Fifties and the hidden sexuality straining beneath the surface," authors Karen Essex and James L. Swanson wrote in their 1996 book "Bettie Page: The Life of a Pin-Up Legend."
Page professed to be mystified by all the attention, saying she never felt particularly attractive and had to wear a lot of makeup to cover up her large pores. After she found God, she was initially ashamed of having posed nude.
"(B)ut now most of the money I've got is because I posed in the nude," she told Playboy last year. "So I'm not ashamed of it now, but I still don't understand it."
Bettie Mae Page was born on April 22, 1923, in Nashville, one of six children. She and two sisters were sent to an orphanage after her father went to jail and her mother could not cope on her own. Page later described her father as "a sex fiend" who started sexually molesting her when she was 13.
Page, armed with an arts degree with Peabody College in Nashville, did her first modeling work in the 1940s after moving to San Francisco with the first of her three husbands. After they divorced in 1947, she pursued modeling in New York. Photos from a shoot with Miami photographer Bunny Yeager ended up in the pages of Playboy.
The layout featured Page winking at the camera wearing only a Santa hat as she decorated a Christmas tree. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner described it as "a milestone in the history of the magazine," which he had founded less than two years earlier.
Later in life, Page was furious that Yeager made a fortune from the photos and never compensated her.
Some American lawmakers were not as impressed with her modeling abilities. Page was served with a subpoena to appear before U.S. Senate investigators trying to discover a link between juvenile delinquency and pornography. Page never appeared. Soon after, she completely disappeared from the scene.
After two other brief marriages failed, Page battled acute schizophrenia beginning in the early 1970s. Her comeback gathered momentum with the 1991 movie "The Rocketeer," based on a comic book where the hero's girlfriend was Page. Fan clubs and websites proliferated, and Page made a good living signing memorabilia at conventions. On the rare occasions that she gave interviews, she insisted that she not be photographed.
Page had no children. There was no immediate information about funeral plans.

The Shewee is HERE!!!

We have just added the most incredible device to our inventory. It was designed by a woman for women everywhere. It is called the Shewee and you can find it in our "Unique Boutique" But I will give you an introduction to this life-saving device right here!

Shewee is a revolutionary device that is changing women’s lives.
Designed by a woman, with women of all ages and occupations
in mind, the compact Shewee is as much of a handbag essential as your mobile phone!
Whether you choose to use Shewee to avoid sitting on less than desirable public toilet seats, or if your job or favourite hobby makes going to the toilet in the usual squatting stance difficult, Shewee is a brilliant solution.
So many women benefit from using Shewee:

walkers, campers, skiers, golfers, cyclists, canoeists, mountaineers, horsewomen, gliders, pilots, bird watchers, climbers, festival and concert goers, dog walkers, long-distance truck drivers, scuba divers,backpackers, anglers, joggers, windsurfers, women in the Armed Forces, policewomen, emergency service workers to name a few.

Shewee is great too, even if you're less mobile too:

women hospital inpatients, women in wheelchairs, disabled women, women with incontinence, pregnant women, elderly women, and women recovering from surgery.

And now we too can write our names in the snow! Check it out. I have one and keep it in my purse. Talk about liberating!

Fashion Rant

O.K. girls. I have a fashion rant that I just have to share. First and foremost, let me state that neither of us has any formal training in the fashion industry. We go with our gut. We wear what we like and matches our mood. If we are feeling sexy, we may wear black and show some skin or a tight, passionate-purple that fans the internal flames. Hair up, down, long or short-- just depends on who we are on that particular day.

That said, I was reviewing the latest Harpers Bazaar this evening and a feature article titled "Fabulous at Any Age" caught my eye. I liked the title because we ARE all fabulous at any age. But the article proceeded to say that 20-year-olds should choose "playful, punked-out styles" this fall, 30-year-olds should "reach for a refined look" in chic seperates, 40-year-olds should "choose autumnal hues offset with glossy highlights" and 50-year-olds should"opt for All-American Red, White and Blue".

We have several problems with this fashion advice. First, we are both 49-year old blondes! We can't POSSIBLY wear autumnal colors! Anything remotely orange is a disaster on both of us! In the spring, we will both be 50 years old. We have discussed this and flatly refuse to relegate ourselves to red, white and blue sweater sets and the perfect set of pearls! Why can't we wear playful, punked-out styles? We are not talking about trying to look like a 19-year old pop star but their example was a strapless purple-floral dress. Is that so far out of our age range as to be inappropriate? I think we would both feel alot more "UP" in that rather than tweed slacks and black Mary Janes! Good GRIEF!

We believe that all women are fabulous at any age and if you want to dress like a 20-year old and that helps you feel more like a 39-year old, then that is OUR fashion advice to you!

As I sit here admiring my new hot-pink and polka dot acrylic nails, I am reminded of something one of the great style icons once sang: "Girls just want to have fun!". And even though I am a member of AARP, inside and OUT, I am still a girl!
