Bettie in bustier!
Poster Girl

One of our newest tapes is a peculiar viewing experience, thanks to the choice of musical soundtrack sources. Betty, alone in a room, flips on a big oldfashioned radio and begins to amuse herself in one little scene.

One can only wonder what they played (if anything) during that shoot.

You can be sure it wasn't anything you hear on the current soundtrack, reminiscent of wartime and postwar dance clubs. The sight of her in shrewdly mismatched underthings, coupled with the nostalgic swing tunes, makes it easy to forget the fate of a majority of the loops produced by the Klaw outfit.

Bettie flirts... These still popular Page vignettes were shot in the stifling 1950s. What loops you see today only survive in such battered, clumsy dupes as they do, because the fans had much deeper closets than the long arm of the law could reach into...

This wasn't the kind of luck the Klaw studio members had. Betty herself even had to show up for some kind of bogus hearing. (What a way to rig a free personal appearance!)

Most of the stuff just got confiscated and/or disposed of somehow or another.

Only in the 50s could you get threatened with censorship, bankruptcy, or jail just for looking like you're having too much fun, which is exactly what BP was best at!

...But could it happen again?
-- Jennifer Kramer


Some Page fans on the Web have their own ways of resisting: Here's to the lookalike at glamazon.com (check the typographic pasties); Dave, the fully-licensed Bettie fan; and the guy who puts all the right links at the front door to his Pinup Mall.
