The famous Bettie Page Bangs have been embraced, celebrated, modified, and worn by goths, artists, hairdressers, actresses, kinksters and creative folks worlwide.
History of Bettie’s Bang:
In 1951, Page fell under the influence of a photographer and his sister who specialized in S&M. They cut her hair into the dark bangs that became her signature and posed her in spiked heels and little else. She was photographed with a whip in her hand, and in one session she was spread-eagled between two trees, her feet dangling.
Sadly, Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-model whose controversial photographs in skimpy attire or none at all helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday. She was 85.
