Dominant Damsels Birthday

Born on April 22, 1923, in Nashville, Tennessee

With locks as dark as midnight and a smile as bright as day, Bettie Page was much more than a beautiful pinup model, she was simply the best. A legend as much today as during her modeling days, every facet of Bettie's life and personality captures the interest and devotion of the thousands of fans that followed her career until the day of her mysterious disappearance.

Bettie's numerous contradictions undoubtedly added to her charismatic personality. Nice and naughty, shy and daring, simple and exotic, Bettie shone with a freshness never before seen in the modeling industry. Without elaborate props, costumes, or set-dressings, Bettie produced some of the most beautiful shots to ever grace the covers of hundreds of magazines. Bettie's smoothly tanned skin, deep blue eyes and coal-black hair with her trademark bangs, were enough inspiration to spark the imagination of even the least experienced photographers. Her "girl next door" look and innocent smile only complemented that explosive combination of features.

Through the 1980s and the 1990s, Bettie Page re-surged as a modeling icon. The media, intrigued by her mysterious disappearance launched a countrywide search for Bettie. Comic books soon featured characters that resembled Bettie, contemporary artists such as Olivia, Dave Stevens, and Robert Blue immortalized their idol with their powerful images. Today, Bettie is enjoying her private life with her family.

Bettie's undeniable influence is present still today in fashion, films, and magazines just to name a few. The dark-haired girl from Nashville has become a living legend, a modern icon, a symbol of beauty and femininity that transcends ordinary standards. In the heart of her adoring fans, Bettie will forever remain the queen of pinup.

Saratoga wrote the below

For quite some time, I suppose the salient characteristic of my approach to life

is to explore new intellectual, emotional and/or personal terrain while

leaving behind things which are no longer useful or necessary. A graduate

school friend once remarked on my ability to continually change and reshape

myself according to my current needs and planned explorations.

Thus, like Nina, describing what I consider to be a hallmark of my life is also pretty

easy. The concept was instantly clear- it just took a little effort to get the exact wording right.

My six-word memoir:



Pushing new frontiers without unnecessary baggage.



Now that I've had my fun, I

tag Lenora, Milliscent, Bonnie, MsSnS and MsCatwoman to play.

I hate being tagged but seeing it’s Saratoga I'll give it ago.



Ever Moving Forward Never Looking Back







Forever:

because I know I’ve meet my soul mate for forever.



Moving:

I never stop moving. Moving either as in movement sake or moving house is always ever present on my mind. Riding moving with the road.





Forward:

I love the direction my life has taken. When I was in my early 20’s I never imagined life could take me where it has. I still have many more years and wonderful adventures and travels planed. Standing still you forget to learn. Still to me means stagnating.





Never:

I have this list of ‘Never’

never do ‘this’ or ‘that‘, this year I decided I decided to increase moving, better the forward directions I’m taking and turn some of those never do’s into must conquer and do’s and add to my never have to conquer again list





Looking:

I’m always looking for new ways, new adventures, new toys, new skills. I always tell my boys you never know what you’ll find unless you looking around you. Stop looking and things pass you by.





Back:

a place from back there that’s gone. A person from back there that’s gone. A family from back there that’s gone. A past that shaped me into a person Forever Moving Forward Never Looking Back.

I’ve picked this picture because it’s my new toy, it sort of links my past to my present plus give me ‘movement’ I grew up on the right side of tracks but choose to hang out on the other side. My life was full of bikes, subbiebikers, and misadventures. I seek adrenaline and they gave it too me. As I’ve aged this part of me kept returning…the bikers are long gone now but that addiction remains. I guess no matter how much we change and grow over the years something’s of our past never do. Hey at least now I can wear more leathers ;-)



I’m choosing not tag five, as reading back through most of the bloggers have already been tagged LOL
