A big thanks to the author, Petra Mason, for sending me a copy for my personal enjoyment! All images (c) Bunny Yeager, “Bettie Page: Queen of Curves”, Rizzoli, 2014. The new Rizzoli book Bettie Page Queen of Curves tells the story of Bettie Page, along with the best collection of images I’ve ever seen. Maybe it was her tan, or maybe it was her attitude– she seemed completely at ease.” –Bunny Yeager, excerpt from Bettie Page, Queen of Curves She would lie on the banks of the miami River. Bettie was a true nudist and maintained her glorious golden olive color by sunning herself everyday. I had never seen anyone with an allover tan and she looked like the perfect doll or mannequin. The first thing I noticed was that for some reason when she was nude, she did not seem naked. She walked into the room on tippy-toes, like she was wearing high heels, which made her look taller and more natural at the same time. “When I first saw Bettie in the nude, I was pleasantly surprised she looked great. Bettie Page never looked better than in the capable hands of Bunny Yeager (herself a former model) who arguably shot the best and most famous images of the black-banged beauty– like the epic Jungle Girl shoot (shot at the Africa USA safari Park in Boca Raton), and the game-changing image of Bettie posing nude in a Santa cap for Playboy magazine in 1955. Bettie met Bunny, and the rest is pinup history. In 1954, Bettie Page was working with Irving Klaw in NYC and decided a break was in order, so she headed south to Miami for relaxation and fun in the sun. For me, Bettie Page & Bunny Yeager epitomize iconic American pinup photography.
