Remembering Bettie Page

10:01 am

1950s pinup model Bettie Page died yesterday at the age of 85 in Los Angeles. Bettie became an American icon when she started modeling in the 1950s and her photos, which garnered much controversy and even more admiration, are credited with helping to set the stage for the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

In a 1998 interview Bettie said, “I want to be remembered as I was when I was young and in my golden times … I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people’s perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form.”  Check out our collection of Bettie Page stickers, keychains and buttons for more of Bettie’s famous images.  Farewell, Bettie.

    Wow, http://www.stickergiant.com really has stickers for everything. So if Bettie Page is the woman who represents the sexual revolution, who’s the man? And does StickerGiant have a sticker for him too?

    Who’s the Bettie Page of today?

    Yes Kevin, there is a man, a great icon for men all over the world. This man represents manhood at its finest and its worse, that man is Homer Simpson.
