I've had a crush on her since I was 16 and found her in a photography magazine, it was all in French but I bought it anyways and put the pin-ups on my bedroom wall.

White Elephant is Jason AKA Gaga4Toyz AKA one half of Cast-A-Way Toys.

Her name came to the forefront for me after I saw "The Notorious Bettie Page" movie in '05. I was younger then,but admittedly, it was a tougher movie to watch.

My first thought was the connection Dave Stevens had to a renewed interest in Bettie Page within popular culture.

Irving Klaw. Now, there's a name that connects to Steve Ditko and also to the Kefauver hearings.

Same here. For me, Dave's illustrations of Bettie were in some ways more attractive than the actual model.
