As expected, Bettie Page has died of pneumonia in an L.A. hospital at the age of 85. I have so much love and respect for this woman, did you know that she had a Bachelor of Arts degree? Me neither. She was the bondage queen but she did it in such a flirty, innocent way that it looks kind of quaint to me compared with all the hardcore stuff that is out there now. The fact that BettiePage.com gets 20 million hits a month proves that she will remain an American icon for many years to come. And I love the fact that she will be buried in Westwood Cemetery only a few feet from that other early Playboy icon, Marilyn Monroe.

Hotness Never Dies
This is sad. Notorious pin-up girl from the 50s, Bettie Page, is in critical condition in an L.A. hospital after suffering a heart attack on Tuesday. She spawned countless imitators and inspired many a masturbatory fantasy but has been a recluse for the last few decades.
Get well soon, I hate holiday obits.
