[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Betty Page is an icon and one of the earliest pinups ever. She was also a bondage pioneer. Leafing through the pages here you'll get a quick impression why this woman still appeals to the modern mind. Her photos are legendary and ground breaking. Betty herself led an interesting life. Her biography is absolutely intriguing. Fascinating read. Highly recommended!
