Irving Klaw's bondage photography
» BDSM » Erotica
I've always assumed the revival of interest in Betty Page started when Dave Stevens used her exterior for the basis of the young hero's love interest in his Rocketeer comic book. Stevens was arguably the best 'good girl' artist work in comics for decades. The response to his first issue of the Rocketeer was "Wow!" indeed.
Maybe it was coincidence but Betty Page images starting appearing everywhere. Another comics fan, Greg Theakston, produced a tribute magazine, The Betty Pages (now, Tease, focusing on vintage glamour in general. I think the funniest thing we ever carried in my comics shop it was the Betty Page paperdoll complete with a little leather whip.
Her appeal has always escaped me. A friend who die happy if he could lick Betty's boot once stuck one of her Irving Klaw movies on the end of a video of some odd old psychotronic video I'd been looking for. Gordon and I tried to watch it. Woman tied another up, untied her, got tied up herself - something like that. When Betty Page appeared it was more of the same. More than enough too.
I notice there's a new Irving Klaw site complete with earlyKlaw bondage pictures and reproductions of some of his old catalogs. If 50s bondage cheesecake is your pleasure you should be delighted.

I’m a big fan of Klaw. Found this blog in a search for additional info. For Mikey: Sadly Irving Klaw destroyed most of his own material in an effort to thwart a Senate Investigation in the 60’s. Here’s a link to s site with the info and lots of good links
