Title: Betty Page photos
Post by: idaho1 on April 19, 2012, 11:59:04 PM

Hi , a friend asked me to find out about some Betty Page pictures . First these are reproductions but i dont see any modern date on the cover they are in . The only date on this is 1954 . It consists of 8 ...11 X 14 prints in black & white . They are all totaly nude . On the cover each photo example has one of those black rectangles over her privates .
When i do net searches 99% of it spells her name Bettie but this cover spells it Betty . Anyone familiar with this ? I would provide pictures but they are xxx .

Thanks

Maybe you can provide pictures but just put a piece of paper or something over the bad parts? It's a little difficult to picture pictures without...pictures. :D

I would guess that these are exampes of "under the counter" items.  There used to be a news stand at the corner of 12th & Main in Kansas City that you could buy what we now call pornography.  I didn't, of course.  Betty Page was a Pin Up Girl in the early 50's, and aside from her pin up pics she probably posed for pictures like these, which couldn't be shown to the general public,  to enhance her income.  There's a world of info on Google.

You might want to search Camera Club Girls, Bettie Page, Rudolph Rossi (he did quite a bit of work with her apparently)

Here's a link to a blog with some info and color shots, likely more hits will come up using these terms. I just happened across it through a google search (had to agree to continue to site, due to content)

I wouldn't be surprised if a landfill could be filled with Bettie Page nude photo reproductions. Thanks to the resurgence of rockabilly culture in the 80s through now, she's become an icon again in certain circles.
