R.I.P. Bettie Page

The world has lost a true icon! Bettie Page went off to heaven today at the age of 85. Her agent, Mark Roesler, said that she passed away this evening at a hospital in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack over a week ago which left her in a coma.

Mark wrote this message on Bettie's website:

With deep personal sadness I must announce that my dear friend and client Bettie Page passed away at 6:41pm PST this evening in a Los Angles hospital. She died peacefully but had never regained consciousness after suffering a heart attack nine days ago.

She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality. She is the embodiment of beauty.

Rest in peace, Bettie Page. The world is a little less beautiful and glamorous without you!

Sure she was 85 and there's loads more tragic news, but it still makes me fucking sad. Nobody's her equal.

I just wish I lived in a time where photoshop didn't exist and women everywhere could look at icons like Bettie and say 'I kinda look like her' now we all have to starve ourselves if we even want to think of looking like the women that are celebrities now.

a true beauty!!!! rip

RIP Miss Betty Page. You were truly an icon!!!

May you rest in peace, Bettie.

She is smoking hot. Saw her sexy photos on a celeb and interracialmatches dating called 【 My interracialma

tch..com....c-o-m】. Don't know if it is still out there. The rumor says that site holds lots of celebrities profiles.

Charlie Sheen found his love on that site last May Too.

C'est vraiment trissssssssssss.

What an amazing woman...the perfect combination of sexpot and girl-next-door!

I think the pic of her is so sexy, cute and natural...her body is so great, you can see a tiny bit of cellulite, but in my opinion, it just makes her sexier.

I am getting so sick of seeing pretty girls today photoshopped to death.

Rest in Peace Betty Page. You made curvy girls feel good about ourselves. God Bless You.

that book was heavy. I thought it was beautifully written. I cried too.

Great book but I loved "The Kite Runner" much better.

R.I.P. Bettie, you'll always be a legend in my book. You were the original pinup, and nobody will come close to what you've accomplished in your life.

I feel like I've just lost a close friend.

She left this world with quite a life. She was inspirational, and it's hard for me to believe now that shes gone. 2008 officially ends on a sucky note.

We need more women that look like bettie did in her day.
******************
Sad to say, but if you put a current female celeb's face on her body here...she'd be ripped to shreds for not being a size two. I don't get it either, because my man always says: I want to roll over in the middle of the night and find something warm and soft, not a brittle bag of bones.

RIP Bettie Page.

Rest easy and sleep well dear Bettie. You've inspired generations.

Seriously, 2008 sucks.

Loved Bettie Page. So sad. Everyone, go out and watch "The Notorious Bettie Page" starring Gretchen Mol. Mol is spot on as Bettie.
