2. Guess they didn't shave back then, eh?
   RIP, Betty

3. In what universe is that usage of the word "irony" even close to being correct?

   By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 08:45:04

4. so sad how a lot of her life ended up being like.. she will be missed :( rip bettie
   
   
   #2 at least get the spelling right. it's right above where you're typing. and yeah, it was the 50s. dont think too many people cared about shaving.

5. The woman responsible for so many terrible indie-chick haircuts.

6. Katy Perry will probably commit suicide today.

   By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:05:39

7. She was the numero uno original! Perfection before plastic. Body, face, expressions, talent...there will never be another. Didn't even get Uma in Pulp Fiction was supposedly her. Not even close. Getting relly tired of all the chicks trying WAY TOO HARD these days.

8. OMG! You mean real women actualy have pubic hair? They're not bald like seven year old girls? I'm totally SHOCKED!
   
   R.I.P. Bettie.

9. 7 - Sorry, Uma is much hotter than this broad. I know, I know, everything from the 50's is better, Marylin is a goddess, ect...save it.

10. Her face is a little busted. (Apologies to the goth chicks and gay men who worship the Ditta VOn Teese types)

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:16:11

11. More semen was lost to her than, at Pear Harbor.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:17:50

12. Geezus, even her pubes had bangs.

    By Santos, on December 12, 2008 09:25:08

13. Unfortunately, the anti-pube trend has taken root around the world. If you're under 50 you're expected to wax or shave, but only if you're a woman. Just another way to try to make us ashamed of our bodies.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:32:19

14. I love that she was a natural woman not like the bald barbie dolls we have now. I like my women to look like women not little girls.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:40:49

15. Golden lads and girls all must,
    As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:43:10

16. what were her measurements?

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:44:53

17. Bettie Page is the reason that I'm a bisexual woman!! She has a timeless hotness that will last for ages to come! As for these "OMG, she has pubes!!" guys, seriously GROW UP!! Only porn freaks are that obsessed with pubic hair. I guess that what happens when you masturbate to porn your whole life instead of touching a real woman....
    
    RIP, Bettie!! You were truly an original and you'll be missed.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:52:40

18. That there is a virtually perfect female body. Amazing, amazing curves.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 09:53:23

19. "what were her measurements?"

20. #13, any self-respecting guy trys to keep it neat and tidy down there too...

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 10:23:38

21. I swear to God if this Bettie Page memorial post becomes the 2984938th HAIR VS NO HAIR Debate, I will fucking obliterate all of you BECAUSE I AM SO TIRED OF IT.
    
    NONE OF YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE OTHER SIDE. STOP IT.
    
    Go read the old ones if you want to revive ti.

22. So sad!

23. #21, shut up

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 11:11:39

24. ^23, you shut up. Learn some manners and then get back to the couch next to Bettie in pic 4.
    
    And no I'm not #21, I have taken your insecure, prickish little "shut up" on another occasion. #21 is right though. This site is starting to make The Bastardly look like a literary debating society.

25. Girls want to be her, guys want to do her. She's still the embodiement of the dirty girl that scares the hell out of them while she makes them feel funny in the bikini area.
    
    People that don't know her name recognize
    her image and she's made tattoists millions.
    
    Douchebags who refer to every flavor of the month as an "icon" take note:
    
    THAT is an icon, not a celebutard like Britnie, Beyonce, that ugly girl from Grey's Anatomy, Lohan, etc.
    
    RIP Betty

26. Bettie Page is a legend.
    
    Also legendary was Gretchen Mol's performance in the biopic about her where Gretchen shows off her killer rack and muff!!!!

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 11:55:24

27. I find it hilarious that if her body was on a current starlett, Todd and the lot of you would call her fat and boobless.
    You guys are fucking ridiculous. She has an absolutely amazing body, maybe you could appreciate similar types without them being attached to 50s pin-ups?
    

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 12:06:10

28. What's the big deal about her bangs? I know lots of people with bangs. No one ever says my name "and her bangs".
    
    Uma Thurman WITH BANGS OMG FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf no shit!

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 12:11:39

29. Looks like she's got buckwheat in a leg-lock between her legs! That is so hot!!!

    By onosurf, on December 12, 2008 12:15:49

30. Holy shit, this thread has turned into Bitter Woman-Fest 2009. #27, what the fuck are you talking about? If there was a modern girl with that body featured here we'd be applauding it.
    #13, don't shave if you don't want to shave - do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't complain if your mate suggests a trim, it's his preference, just as you prefer certain things.
    
    Stop blaming men for all your fucking problems. You're insecure because you want to be, not because of us.

    By Men, on December 12, 2008 12:40:46

31. In what universe is a broad who took her clothes off in front of the camera even close to being an "icon"?
    
    Gandhi: yes. Che: maybe.
    
    Page: only Jimmy.
    

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 12:46:45

32. Re: poster "by men" (#30)
    
    I am suprised you were able to type that without having a woman do it for you....or did you type it yourself? the world may never know.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 12:47:11

33. I like her in the other pics, but that winking face in the main pic is fucking hideous.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 12:53:40

34. #27 - right on sister! Betty Paige is an American Hero, but if she were alive today, she'd be called obese, small titted, and communist! These evil men would try to attach a plow to her and force her to work the fields with the other oxen! They would try to melt her down to make candle wax! They would shave her pubes and use them to make covers for golf clubs!
    
    Todd and these other troglodytes have been keeping us down for far too long! Ladies, I say we unite and hold a midnight vigil for the dearly departed Miss Paige, for she is a true inspiration to us all! She was brave enough to remove her clothes for money, even though her huge black bush is home to 12 species of poisonous snakes, and possibly an aboriginal tribe!
    
    We must prove to our male oppressors that will NO LONGER accept the mistreatment we've been sustaining for years! Sarah Palin should be VP elect right now, for she is wise and intelligent beyond her years, and because she has A VAGINA!!!
    
    GO TEAM VAGINA!

35. Like you've ever been to a women's studies class. I guarantee we aren't talking about supposed "sex icons".

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 13:44:21

36. Could someone tell me what is wrong with her stomach? Is she sucking it in 24/7 or is she deformed?

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 13:46:33

37. I would prefer to expire without the public being in the position to comment on my pubic hair.
    But that is just me.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 13:47:49

38. all this talk about hairy bush giving me a huge boner. long live the soft upsidedown triangle of love

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 13:54:14

39. So that's what women looked like before Photoshop...I'd always wondered.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 16:11:30

40. I agree with you wholeheartedly Staci. So GD tired of every woman in Hollywood referred to as an "icon" just because they turned up at a couple of big events in nice dresses. And most of the time, like you said, they're selfish, smug circus freaks, like Beyonce and even (dare I say) Angelina Jolie. I can think of maybe one or two actresses now who would fit that description. Bettie Page you will be missed.

    By Ashley, on December 12, 2008 16:13:20

41. Can I ask a question? I've never understood the association between her and gay/bisexual culture. I'm just curious, can someone explain it? I also don't get the whole Dorothy in Oz association either. I'm not knocking anything! I just don't understand where it comes from. Can someone more knowledgeable explain?
    And by the way, she rocked.

    By ISBN, on December 12, 2008 16:17:14

42. Yep, by bemoaning the fact that you idiots call starlets like Hayden Panieterre fat (whose body, despite her height, is similar to Page's), I was *actually* saying that Sarah Palin should be vice president.
    
    If only more people could learn to read between the lines as well as you do.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 16:17:26

43. what's sad is she didn't get implants when she was young, she never had the chance *sniff*

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 17:01:46

44. Todd, thank you for recognizing a true classic. Bettie Page is, and always will be, a stunning beauty who puts most of the so-called modern female movie "stars" to shame.

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 18:31:05

45. RIP Betty

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 20:03:19

46. she had a great body in photos BEFORE photoshop. that's awesome

    By anonymous, on December 12, 2008 22:04:56

47. She's a classic as they are. Everything about where was HER whether it was her pubes, breasts, teeth, ass, etc. Its all her. Women still strive to be as sexy and innocent as she was.

    By KiKi, on December 12, 2008 22:35:52

48. Bloody gorgeous. This is what real, unaltered, sexy women look like. No collagen, acrylic, silicone or saline; no botox, no lipo, no gastro or restalyne. (that was a short poem by the way)

    By booya, on December 12, 2008 23:32:58

49. Oh my gawd, a real woman!!! Small yet REAL tits, and some actual friggin PUBIC HAIR!!!! I think I've died and gone to heaven! I wish there were more like her, and less of the fake-tittied, shaved-Barbie-snatched girls out there now. Yuck. What the hell gave these "modern" girls the idea that they have to modify every inch of their bodies? It's just wrong.

    By Al, on December 12, 2008 23:53:08

50. #27, for reals.
    
    I'm surprised there haven't been more comments about her "fat" ass and "saggy" tits...but this was before Photoshop.

51. Veronica, I sense sarcasm...

    By Staci, on December 13, 2008 02:23:20

52. Sometimes these comments on this site gets too political. All I know of her is she made women be proud of their bodies, looks, & freedom of expression. She still is the most popular woman in pin-up & male magazines. She never got into any scandal except crooked politicans, women groups of that time & the religious right. Her pictures were provacative, but still tasteful. When she got older, she knew when to retire so that people would remember her when she was young & beautiful. Not a old women trying to chase her golden age back then. She lived a very hard life, but she strove on to life it fully until she died at 85. 85 YEARS GUYS! No surgery, operations, or any enhancements of any kind. Do you think any females celebrities will live that long with the lifestyle their living? Britney, lilo, Amy winehouse? That's a milestone within itself. She never carried herself like a whore. Compare to what we have now, She's an angel in my eyes.
    
    RIP Miss Page. May you pictures live on & I hope you finally have peace on the other side. You forever be young & beautiful in my eyes. An icon in my book.
    
    Y'all can go back to ranting now.

    By anonymous, on December 13, 2008 05:39:31

53. What's sad is most women are going to change their hair to look like her. Sport a tattoo of her & such & not even read the history about her. Just use her as a tool or a fad for their vain & selfish ass. She's not a cause ladies. She's a person. And if Madonna comes out & say that Betty influence her, I puke. She don't create trends, she always steals from them. She's in her 50's & Betty still looked finer in her 80's than that bitch. RIP BETTY

    By anonymous, on December 13, 2008 06:07:11

54. One of the classiest woman of her time or any time.

    By anonymous, on December 13, 2008 06:10:18

55. Fakers may try look like her. But you can't beat the original.

56. Guess they didn't shave back then, eh?
    
    "They" don't all shave NOW, either.
