From a homemade scrapbook found in a dumpster in the 1960s. Side by side photos of Bettie, one of them sans the ubiquitous Bettie bangs. Yep, I’m one of those rare people who are not obsessed with Bettie Page. I was tired of the Bettie cult by 1985. Not her fault, she’s great, but the unending Bettie worship wears thin. But some photos are impossible to pass up. Like this one from Vintage Sleaze.

“Bongo Date” with Mike Pacheco. What bongos have to do with Apache dancers, I don’t know. But this is combining a few of my favorite things. Danse Apache, Beatniks & Bongos. (Released 1957)
