In recent years, I have come to appreciate Bettie Page. I& #39;ve seen this quote from Page where she says that if God didn& #39;t want her to pose for racy pictures, he wouldn& #39;t have given her the talent for doing it.

You know how awesome that is? That& #39;s awesome.

I don& #39;t know if she really said that (fact-checking is important), but for a woman to lack conflict or apology for doing something she enjoys, regardless of cultural messaging, is pretty phenomenal.

This thread brought to you by: I share a birthday with Page and am honored. I know she was controversial for her time period and I don& #39;t know much about her, but I also think she was blessed with a great gift.

Also, I& #39;ve secretly always wanted to do pin-ups, so she& #39;s cool. Lol.
