Bettie Page & Dita Von Tesse: Original Ideas
9 November, 2009 in Musings
Tags: Agent Provocateur, Bettie Page, Dita Von Tesse, ideas, Kylie Minogue, Mustoes, originality, photography
It’s always possible that an idea may have been had by someone else previously. Does it mean that the idea shouldn’t be brought to life again? Replication is sometimes said to be a sincere form of flattery, but pure copying without thought is plain lazy.
Classic designs and ideas that stand the test of time must have done so because….. well, they’re classic, they still manage to add something positive to society. Sometimes a little tweak is needed for the current environment to suit the latest desires, needs, trends and fashion, but isn’t it beautiful that we can learn and take inspiration from history and make it ours for our time. Now let’s go forth and get something good into the back of our trunks…
P.S. Yes this probably was a thinly disguised excuse to post some images of Bettie Page and Dita Von Tesse, don’t like it? Well then just whip me.
P.P.S. May as well continue and post this cult classic from Agent Provocateur and Kylie Minogue. Stand up if you don’t like this!

Bettie Page, the 1950s pinup credited with helping to spark sexuality in time where certain sexual activities were not accepted by their own modern attitudes. Again in history shows people with foresight and a free spirit to be condemned for it. What a woman a least she can be admired and remembered now.
