Bette Page: In the eye of an era's beholder?

Bette Page is gorgeous, right?



She was a sex symbol in her time, risque, putting more of a face to fetish culture. Now, she's an eternal part of our pop culture psyche.

However, I have to wonder, if she showed up on the scene today, would we pick her apart, criticizing her flaws and telling her to "drop ten pounds?" Hmmm. I wonder.

Here's to you, Bette!
