KwakunguBetty owenza isitayela se-pin-up siyabonakala kwaye siyathandwa kuwo wonke umhlaba. Kwiinkcubeko zaseMerika, lo wesifazane washiya uphawu olubonakalayo. Kwizithombe wayebukeka esichukumisayo, wayezibambe kwaye akazange ahambe, wayezibukeka kakuhle, kwaye wenza ngendlela yesisu. Iifoto zakhe ezinobomi kwi-50s yekhulu lama-20 e-Melika zazizo zonke iiMerika ekhaya.
Njengoko uyazi, ukuba uyathandwa, ufumane ngokwaneleyo ukuba uzalwe kwiintsapho ezihluphekileyo, ngoko uhambe unqobe inkunzi, unqobe, uphumelele, uphumelele, unemihlali eminingi, kodwa ungahlali ujabule ebomini bakho kwaye ufe ngokukhethekileyo ebusheni (leyo yindlela yokuthandwa). UPaige, ukuze athandwe, uzalisekise zonke iingongoma ezikhankanywe apha ngentla, nangona akafa ngokudabukisayo kwaye sele sele ekhulile.
UBetty Page wazalelwa kwiintsapho eziqhelekileyo zaseMerika, kodwa engabutyebi. Uneminyaka eyi-10 wayehlala noyise. Kodwa watywala waza wambetha unina, ekugqibeleni baqhawula. Unina wayefanele anikezele abantwana abathandathu, ngoko nangoko emva kokuqhawula umtshato, wamnika abantwana esikolweni esikolweni. Unyaka wonke wathola imali kunye nomnyaka kamva wathatha abantwana kuye. UBetty wanceda unina ukuba alandele abazalwana noodadewabo, wayeyazi ngokuthunga. Intombazana yafunda kakuhle kwaye yaphumelela ngeentlonelo. Emva koko ndaya kufundelwa utitshala, kodwa ndatshintsha ingqondo yam kwaye ndagqiba ekubeni ngumdlali weqonga.
Ngokusemthethweni, eli bhinqa latshatiwe izikhathi 4, yonke imitshato yakhe yahlala ixesha elifutshane, ngelixa ephindwe kabini nomyeni naye.
Kungekudala watshata nomfundi owayefunda naye, ngubani na ngexesha lemfazwe eqala ukukhonza kwiNavy and wandula amaxesha amaninzi, ukusuka kwindawo eya endaweni, de dekile kwaye wamhlukana naye, esenza isigqibo sokuba aqonde iphupha lakhe. UBetty wathuthela eNew York, apho wayesebenza njengobhala.
Ngesinye elunxwemeni, wadibana nepolisa eyammema ukuba avele ehamba kwaye wavuma. Le polisa lalibizwa ngokuba yiJerry Tibbs, wayebethelwa kwelinye leqela elidumileyo leebhola. Kungekudala, uBetty waba ngumzekelo odumile kule nkampani kunye neefoto zakhe zaqala ukuvela kumaphephancwadi aziwayo: i-Wink, i-Titter, i-Eyefull ne-Beauty Parade. UJerry wenza iphothifoliyo yokuqala kwisitayela se-pin-up. Omnye wezithombe ezidumileyo zeBetty yiseshoni yesithombe sakhe kwisitayela seBDSM.
Ngomnyaka we-1955, ihora layo eligqibileyo lafika, ngenxa yokuba waba yintombazana yenyanga ngenyanga ye Playboy, isithunzi sakhe kunye noSanta Claus sathuthela kwiposikhadi waza waba ngumgca weposi elidumile kakhulu. Kwiminyaka embalwa elandelayo, yayithandwa kakhulu kwilizwekazi laseMerika.
Ngomnyaka we-1957, ekuphakameni komsebenzi wakhe ngokumelene naye, kuye kwabelwa ukuba wayekhuthaza ukuononophala. Xa wayeneminyaka engama-34, wagqiba ekubeni angabe esenza amaphephancwadi kwakhona, njengoko wayethatyathwa yinkolo. UPaige waba ngumgqugquzeli okhuselekileyo wabantu baseBaptisti, wathuthela eFlorida waza waqhawula bonke abafowunelwa nabo bexesha elidlulileyo. Ngo-1958, uBetty watshata, kodwa emva kweminyaka emi-5 ahlukanisile.
Kwiminyaka engama-60, wanquma ukuya eAfrika kunye nomsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli ukusuka kummandla waseBhaptizi, kodwa akazange avunyelwe ngenxa yokuba waqhawula umtshato kwaye uBetty wakha washada kwakhona. Utshatile, uhamba waya eAfrika, kodwa kamva emva kokuphela komsebenzi wakhe wezithunywa zevangeli xa ebuyela ekhaya, uchitha umtshato wakhe kunye nomntu wesithathu (umyeni wokuqala).
Sekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-70, wathuthela eLos Angeles. Ngowe-1979, unesifo sokuphazamiseka kwesifo kwaye esibhedlele kwisibhedlele seengqondo ngokuxilongwa kwe-schizophrenia. Kwakuye ngeli xesha e-US ukuba baphinde bamkhumbule, bepapasha iifoto zakhe ezindala kumaphephancwadi kwaye baxoxe ngazo ngexesha elifanayo. Kuze kube ngo-1992, uPaige wayephantsi kolawulo lweengqondo. Ukususela ngelo xesha de kube sekupheleni kobomi bakhe (ngoDisemba 6, 2008) wahola ubomi bokuzola.
