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!
