Well, if you're reading my blog, you already probably know. Betty Page, pin up queen of the 1950's, passed away Thursday, December 11, 2008.
If you don't know who she was, or if you don't know what the big deal is, then I commend you to the following link: http://www.bettiepage.com/obit/index.html
Some personal thoughts (waaay too many, and waaaaay too wordy for this space) are shared here: http://blockbusterdid.blogspot.com/
If you're too young or too busy in your own r/l to appreciate her significance as a world icon, then I commend you to http://www.google.com, and I suggest that you merely google her name. No less than 4 1/2 MILLION hits will register. I haven't even mentioned the hits you'd get if you do a Google image search.
Willingly, or not, ... wittingly, or not, ... Betty Page contributed to making it possible for people like me, and people like you, to express ourselves in the way that we see fit, today. She was hardly the most important person in that regard, but her contribution -- however slight that some may deem it to be -- is duly noted here.
Rest in Peace, Betty Page.
