Title: Bored Bettie

Bettie Page was born on April 22 1923 in Nashville, Tennessee. Her parents divorced when she was 10, and her father began molesting her from the age of 13. Despite her horrific childhood, she aced college and began doing her own hair and make up. Bettie was gorgeous, and she landed her first modeling job after college. She made her mark in New York and worked with famous photographers who made her famous from BDSM photoshoots. Her popularity grew, and she wasn't just renowned as the 'Queen of Bondage', but rather the 'Queen of Pin Up'.

As a famous pin up model in the 1950s, Bettie did receive a lot of prejudice and was often shamed for her work.

She fought back at the patriarchy and famously said, “I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people's perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form."

From an impoverished Tennessee girl to an iconic 1950s model who hugely influenced sexual revolution of the 1960s, Bettie Page, lived nothing if not a full life. She's best remembered as a queen of feminine power and sexual expression.

This piece is dedicated to Bettie Page.
