Bettie Page: Queen of Curves

Petra Mason, with photography by Bunny Yeager

"More than 250 previously unpublished photos by Ms. Yeager are collected in the coffee-table book Bettie Page: Queen of Curves, with text by Petra Mason, to appear in October." -New York Times

Bettie Page: Queen of Curves, features previously unreleased photos of Page. Indeed, you ll notice that one of the many things that sets Page apart is her expert grasp of how to accentuate her "holy shit!" figure. She was often lifting, reaching, stretching, twisting, and rejoicing. Maybe it's this obvious confidence and unabashed joy all despite the many challenges Page faced in her impoverished, abusive childhood that makes Bettie so appealing to women. In fact, women make up the majority of Page s fan base, according to filmmaker Mark Mori, director of the documentary Bettie Page Reveals All. She inspires females of all sizes and shapes to embrace and express who they are, as they are. Refinery29

"Last year, Miami s Bunny Yeager Studio opened, and the photographer was working on a collection of never-before-seen Page shots, called Bettie Page: Queen of Curves, which will be published in September to coincide with the 60th anniversary of their first photo session..." -The Daily Beast

You Have To Own Queen Of Curves is the application of Bunny s philosophy and talent put to the test. Two titans of vintage photography both models, both renowned by then working together. I thought I d seen what there was to see of Bettie Page, but the book is full of never before seen shots culled by Mason directly from Yeager s archives. The curation is gorgeous, the layout is a mid-century minimalist homage, and there are over 250 pages of photos of all kinds. Petra s work here is impeccable. The result is an astounding look at the confidence of two professionals in their prime. It s an astounding look at the most iconic pin-up model ever, though the eyes of another, iconic, model.
