[kj] OT: Bettie Page's funeral

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Wow, thanks for the info. She deserves to be among such luminaries. Page 
was probably the most bootlegged persona ever. Hard to overestimate the 
influence of her image on everything from goth, punk, psychobilly, to 
modern creatures of the 'net like Suicide Girls (for better or worse), 
and the post-90s aesthetics of Hollywood's starlets, as well as making 
culture of "cult" cinema/curios and "trash," b-movie paraphenalia, the 
more accepted phenomenon that all that is now.
