[kj] OT: Bettie Page's funeral

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Thanks you Oliver. It is a trip how popular she is now. 
 
By the way my Mom is right near her. For I can see in one of the photos  that 
the grave is only a few feet away from her because e buried my Mom  under a 
tree which I see behind the mourners.

Wow,  thanks for the info. She deserves to be among such luminaries. Page 
was  probably the most bootlegged persona ever. Hard to overestimate the  
influence of her image on everything from goth, punk, psychobilly, to  
modern creatures of the 'net like Suicide Girls (for better or worse),  
and the post-90s aesthetics of Hollywood's starlets, as well as making  
culture of "cult" cinema/curios and "trash," b-movie paraphenalia, the  
more accepted phenomenon that all that is  now.
