Dita von Teese recently appeared in an episode of CSI and once again I was transfixed by her beauty and it's more than that it's the way she carries herself. Grace and poise, that sense of confidence which only comes from knowing that you are adored.
Frankly I'm not a girly-girl so friends that may have known me all my life, would never suspect my secret obsession with 1940's Pin-up Models! But there is just something about them that I find alluring. I don't claim to follow fashion, I am happy in a pair of jeans and t-shirt, so I don't believe it is the 1940's fashion that catches my eye but it is that grace and poise that I spoke of earlier. Admittedly after having tried on my first laced up corset in 2009, you will definitely see me walking around Black Rose and Darkside in Camden admiring them.
Ah <I can hear the penny drop> so that is why your blog is called "If I was Betty".
Indeed, Betty Paige is one of the most recognised faces of pin-up albeit for some of her more outrageous and 'way before her time' genre of photographs. But no matter if it's a coy bikini clad image to one showing her bound and gagged, there is always an air of confidence! .....And confidence is key!
