As promised... Bettie Page reissued!

OK so it's a repeat but I promise also there will be some fresh copy soon!

A while ago I watched The Notorious Betty Page at a preview screening. I don't usually like biopics but this was really good. It didn't use voiceover or explanation, just gave hints and clues, leaving the viewer to make up her own mind or go find out more. My favourite thing about it was the way it blended archive footage from the period with images that perfectly recreated the feel of the film stocks of the era - black and white for Bettie in New York, kitsch saturated technicolor for her vacations in Miami. Afterwards, on my way into work, I found myself buying a pair of totally Bettie-esque shoes. Very frivolous of me... I don't need new shoes. I do feel guilty when I think of Jessica happily patching her jeans... Anyway here is a photo. I can't bring myself to regret it or return them. I will think of sweet, innocent, god-fearing Bettie Page as I sashay around the room in them at a party I'm going to tonight.
