Before Bunny Yeager was old enough to be one, she fantasized about becoming a Pin-Up girl. She realized her dream and much more. After building a successful modeling career, she moved behind the camera, in the 1950s, to become one of the most renowned glamour photographers in the world. Her work has appeared in magazines, calendars, posters, and several books. This book is a celebration of all the emancipated young women with beautiful faces and figures who posed for her in the 1950s, just as she embarked on her career as a professional photographer.

Bettie Page Statue. Based on a sculpt by Tony Cipriano, this mini-statue measures 6″ with a 7″ base capturing the charm and sultriness of this real-life heroine in exacting, minute detail. Sexy yet tasteful, like Bettie herself, this is a “must-have” for Bettie Page fans. Bettie Page was one of the most popular pin-ups of the 1950s. She first appeared as a Playmate in the pages of PLAYBOY in January, 1955 in a fetching yuletide photo shot by Bunny Yeager. At the end of the decade, she disappeared, but her legend continued to grow until, by the 1990s, she had become an icon.

I did not see this movie until it was out on HBO & Showtime but wish I has seen it sooner! Gretchen Mol does not look a lot like Bettie Page but she is still gorgeous and does a good job portraying a Pin Up girl of the 40′s and 50′s. If your into the Pin Up girl era then this is a pretty good movie to add to your collection. (Careful, not for those under 18 due to full frontal nudity). Did I mention Gretchen Mol is easy on the eyes?

Heres a video I found of Bettie Page circa 1950 modeling. She can really shake that thing without looking trashy. Good video quality and about 5 minutes in length. Bettie Page (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008) was an American model who became famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and pin-up photos. She has often been called the “Queen of pinups”. Her look, including her jet black hair and trademark bangs, has influenced many artists.

Vintage Betty Page Pictures. Collectors look for 4″ by 5″ Vintage Irving Klaw Photographs of the famous Pin-Up Queen, Bettie Page. Bettie is as gorgeous as ever as she poses for photographer Irving Klaw. Collectors also look for photographs on fiber paper originals and not reprints. Make sure borders are present, photograph has tone and good gloss. These types of photographs would definitely make a great addition to any collection of Bettie Page Material.
