bete noire.

ahhh, halloween. that time of year i usually dread, mainly because i never have the time or the money to invest in a decent costume, especially for one mere night of the whole year. i mean, who has costume parties anymore, except at halloween? precisely. anyway, this year i decided i'd make a wee bit more effort. i spent forever trying to think of something at least a little bit original but i was stumped. and then it came! the wondrous Bettie! i'm not sure if i've fully expressed my pure adoration for Bettie Page, she is the sexiest most seductive woman to have ever graced this earth, hands down. i can't remember where i found this quote, or exactly who said it, but it's so true that none of the following would've existed without Bettie:

' Katy Perry's rocker bangs and throwback skimpy jumpers. Madonna's SEX book and fascination with bondage gear. Rihanna's obsession with all things leather, lace and second-skin binding. Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. The SuicideGirls Web site. The Pussycat Dolls. The entire career of Dita Von Teese."

it was an obvious choice, then. i could look at photos of her all day, she is a magnificent human being. i'll post photos of the costume if all goes well, 'cause it could go so so wrong. otherwise, enjoy some more Bettie! :)
