R.I.P. Bettie Page. I think her work was innovative at a time when most of America only saw it as illegal and sinful. She opened the doors for well, everyone. And she pushed the envelope. Now you want to see bondage pictures (if that's your thing), its just a click away. And look at all she's influenced. There'd be no Suicide Girls if it wasn't for Bettie. I think the one model who has clearly taken up her mantel is Dangerrr Doll. Who clearly is following in her footsteps. And there's also Dita Von Teese. Bettie did it first, and you can't take that away from her.
