I'll be in mourning.

I'll be in mourning for the next week or so over the loss of an American treasure from the magazines of my youth.

Richard's $.02

Bettie Page, Queen of Pinups, Dies at 85
NYT, 11 Dec 2008

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/12/ar...e.html?_r=1&hp

Bettie Page, a legendary pinup girl whose photographs in the nude, in bondage and in naughty-but-nice poses appeared in men’s magazines and private stashes across America in the 1950s and set the stage for the sexual revolution of the rebellious ’60s, died Thursday in Los Angeles.

I agree with you. She was the the best in our day. Uh, er, so I heard.

I just read that online. Finding a stash of those magazines "hidden" in the basement was one of the first thrills of my life! I always tried to put 'em back just like I had found them. Doubt I fooled my step-father.

The times, they are a changin'...

He's the principal. He can put on the "Testing" sign (remember that movie?!), lock the door to his office, and take a nap!

You are correct, sir! (In my best Ed McMahon imitiation! Too bad to see that Marine fighter jock on such hard times.) It was strange. I always envied Rock Hudson's "way" with women - until it was finally revealed that he was, indeed, one of the greatest "actors" of all time!

She truly was a treasure and a pioneer in the American culture.

Betty, you will be missed, but will LIVE ON forever in our hearts.
