legendary pin up and the original goth girl bettie page is in critical condition after suffering a extremely bad heart attack late last week.
she is 85 years of age and her influence on fashion and modeling is immense and profound.
allthough retired for almost five decades her images have continued to sell and grow in popularity around the world.

She's a classic!

I hope her health improves, my prayers are with her.

She was one of a kind in her time for sure...

yes and the fact she vanished from the public eye means she will remain forever young in the minds and hearts of her fans.
a rare thing in the world of entertainment .

Come to think of it, she was ahead of her time...

yes indeed. i mean she was pretty much the original suicide girl.
and she did it without silicone or liposuction.

I always liked her look especially the black hair.She was stunning and much copied.In her day that was some pretty "edgy" stuff.If she would have received royalties on it she would be ridiculously rich today.

well she has become very very very wealthy in the last decade. even liscencing her name for a undisclosed amount to a clothing company. she is not hurting too much for cash.

So Bettie passed away tonight she had a tragic life. Suffered from mental illness till the end. Sad.

i cannot say it was tragic.
i mean yes her being mentally is sucked.
but to gain that much noteriety from only ten years work and well not really doing anything overly crazy.
thats a pretty good achievment.
i mean to leave artifacts of ones existence to be examined in the future is something many think to do, but few achieve.
i do think there is a lot of sadness there tho.
i think tho that she must have had some good times too.
i also think in the end she did get some money for her work.
sad tho. no kids no husband. so yes there is sadness there.

She was one of three girls, all molested by there father while growing up to boot
