\"Bettie_Page_Reveals_All_New_Film\"<\/a>I noticed on Forbes Magazine’s lists and rankings of the world’s wealthiest people, that featured in the Top Earning Dead Celebrities of 2016<\/em> was Bettie Page. Her estate earned over 11 million dollars last year, ranking her no. 10, her income source being labelled clothing accessories (see here<\/a>). That’s pretty good going for a woman who stopped modelling in the ’50s and a clear indicator of just how powerful and iconic the ‘Bettie Page’ brand is.<\/p>\n

Bettie Page (1923 -2008) was an American model from the 1950s who was famous for her classic pin-ups photos. She is also the first famous fetish & bondage model. Today we might consider these images quite mild but for strait-laced middle America they would have been considered salacious and totally risqu\u00e9. Over half a century later she is now a cult figure in pop culture influencing artists, fashion and sexuality. She is also without doubt the ‘Queen of the Fetish Scene’ a fetish cultural icon, our standard-bearer under whose banner all perves must surely rally \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
