...Metal Candle Tin & Candle, which "features an image of Bettie Page in red lingerie and licking a whip." Who'll bid $19.99 for the Bettie Page Retro Cincher Corset Lot? ("Bring out your inner Bettie!") Or a Bettie Page wristwatch "and the band is made of genuine leather." It'd better...
...Whisper and Wink, where she was the preeminent pinup queen of her day, maybe any day. (She was also the 13th model to grace the centerfold of a new slick magazine called Playboy.) As a movie actress she had a different appeal, limited but intense. Bettie was rich Corinthian leather to connoisseurs of specialized, and at the time subterranean, erotica - the kind that showed women, dressed in black undergarments and stockings, and pumps with six-inch heels, getting spanked, trussed and gagged.

But the performers never got hurt; at times you can catch them giggling at the indignities they were asked to portray. If there's kink it's pure nostalgia. Kids today, seeing these (and they do), probably think it's kinky that their grandfathers thought...
...book. He was definitely invading my personal space, as I had learned in a Human Evolution class last summer, and I instinctively backed up till my legs hit the chair I had been sitting in. That just made him move in closer, until the grommets in the leather embossed the backs of my knees, and he finally tilted the book toward...
