While Bettie Page was most notorious for rocking silk stockings, often with garter belts and sky high heels, she wasn’t averse to wearing the occasional pair of fishnet tights either.

With this ongoing series celebrating the historical, cultural, and artistic importance of Bettie Page, I’m trying to honor the legacy of a real, honest-to-goodness icon. There aren’t many of those, truly, in our popular culture. What I’m really doing with these posts is celebrating Bettie’s legacy as an artist and not so much delving into … Continue reading Queen Bettie: Attack of the 50 Foot Bettie

After all, Bettie’s career in modeling began when off-duty NYPD officer and avid photographer Jerry Tibbs approached her on the shores of Coney Island, New York, told her she’d be a great pinup model, and gave her his card. Soon after he was taking … Continue reading Queen Bettie: Beach Babe
Today, Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest at Windsor Castle as the world watched. This post will not be about that.* Instead, here at the Starfire Lounge we’re going to focus on the Queen of an entirely different realm. After writing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,200-1,300 words—a very respectable neighborhood**—on the lovely and … Continue reading Queen Bettie
