> Could do without that leering fat man though! Don?t you have any better pics?

Hahaha! That "leering fat man" is Irving Claw, whose bondage photographs (many featuring Bettie Page) caused a national furor back in the fifties. He was even brought before Congress in true McCarthy style! Sadly many of his images of Bettie Page were forced to be destroyed and lost forever...

I have many images of the lovely Bettie, and may post them from time to time. However, speaking of fifties porn and government scandals, here is the one and only Blaze Starr who was married to Louisiana Governor Earl K. Long?

I bet you never learned about all this in your American History class?
