The Bettie (and Irving Klaw) Page

Post by mchris4930 »

From Bettie Page's Wiki:
Bettie Mae Page (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008) was an American model who gained notoriety in the 1950s for her pin-up photos.[2][3] She was often referred to as the "Queen of Pinups": her long jet-black hair, blue eyes, and trademark bangs have influenced artists for generations. After her death, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner called her "a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society".[4]

From Irving Klaw's Wiki:
Irving Klaw (November 9, 1910 – September 3, 1966), self-named the "Pin-up King",[1] was an influential American merchant of sexploitation, fetish, and Hollywood glamour pin-up photographs and films. Like his predecessor, Charles Guyette,[2] who was also a merchant of fetish-themed photographs, Klaw was not a photographer,[3] but a merchandiser of fetish art imagery and films.[4] He would commission fetish art (with models like Bettie Page, June King, Joan Rydell, Jackie Miller, et al.) and sponsor illustrative artists (like Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew, and many others), and indirectly promote the legacy of Charles Guyette and John Willie.[5] Irving Klaw is a central figure in what fetish art historian Richard Pérez Seves has designated as the "Bizarre Underground," the pre-1970 fetish art years.[6]

It's not going to be so offtopic at first, but I wanted to leave the option that I (or anyone else) could share whatever Bettie or Irving Klaw images or videos they wish, here. It may seem a bit cliché to want a Bettie tribute page, but honestly, one of the first clips that I ever stayed up way too late to record, when I was way too young to be watching it, was a Bettie Page segment which aired on HBO's Real Sex series, way back in a different time, called the 1990s :lol: .

First, the various images of Bettie being spanked, that I've accumulated over the years...

The aforementioned clip (not like the actual one I recorded, this is from a dvd release ;) ) Full disclosure, I personally dislike the music they always attach to these films, so I detach and delete the audio, generally. They're silent films (as far as I know) and the music doesn't add anything meaningful to them. Enjoy the Silence.

This one was available on the Internet Archive (not sure if it's still there). I've never seen it on any physical media release. Not that I have every one, but I do have a few. Anyways, it came from somewhere, obviously.

And finally, The Domineering Roz Strikes Back short. It's pretty similar to the previous clip, sans bondage.

I can add a few.

Note: Not all of these are with Bettie, but they are the same style and era of pinups or photographer (Irwin Klaw):
