product description

Throughout the 1950s, Bettie Page ignited the world with her notorious bondage and burlesque poses and has since emerged as a cult icon and symbol of the sexual revolution. In Bondage Queen, Bettie fronts the camera of legendary girlie filmmaker Irving Klaw in numerous S&M and bondage poses, creating an oeuvre that inspired much of today's fetish culture. Much of the work was burned when Klaw, working from his infamous New York studio, was accused of making pornography, and the films collected here have been rarely seen. Surreal and strangely innocent, the films and photos display the tender intimacy that has given Page her universal appeal.
