On Saturday night at World of Wonder Storefront Gallery, Lenora's Claire's Bettie Page: Heaven Bound show opened. in honor of the beautiful Bettie Page, the spanking machine was ready. One wall of the show features Austin Young's photos of Perez Hilton and Margaret Cho, Marla Rutherford photos of Bernie Dexter, Steve Diet Goedde's photos of Midori in Bettie Page's actual gloves, a pair of Bettie's shoes, and many more Bettie inspired pieces. The rest of the gallery is filled with the gorgeous, sultry work by the one and only Olivia.
Last week LAist interviewed Lenora Claire to find out more about the show. Bettie legacy has inspired so many people. The enthusiasm of the guests at the opening Saturday night was electric. Dita Von Teese was coiffed and dressed to the nines. Also in attendance: Perez Hilton, Julie Newmar, Brian Bell, as well as many fetish models, burlesque dancers, and artists.
The show is on view at World of Wonder Store front Gallery at 6650 Hollywood Boulevard until May 29th.
