A corset is an absolute necessity for a pin-up girl, especially a style that laces up the back. We love how the boning in this Classic Corset from Agent Provocateur gives the ultimate hourglass shape.

In most full-body photographs, you'll notice Bettie wore thigh highs with back seams almost exclusively. You won't want to skip out on this sexy, vintage look, so go for one of our favorite pairs a la Philippe Matignon.

We love this seductive twist on the classic opera glove - what better way to grasp a whip than with leather running from the fingertips to up above the elbows? This stunning pair from Aspinal of London is made with the finest Nappa leather.

Bettie Page knew how to seduce with a look, but even she liked to pick up an S&M toy in her photographs every once in awhile. Whether your poison is whips, chains or handcuffs, something like this Silver Tip Riding Crop by Kiki de Montparnasse will add a playful touch to your look.

A pin-up girl without red lipstick is like a martini without the olives, and we can't have none of that. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone best, but may we suggest MAC Lipstick in Lady Bug for a classic feel.

What are you going to get your drag queen dad for Father’s Day?

The words seem odd to say. Bettie Page is dead at 85.

The pinup queen and inspiration for millions has lost to her recent battle with a failed heart after suffering an attack on December 2nd.  Page was famous for an estimated 20,000 glossy photographs she shot from 1949 – 1957. A pioneer in the sexual revolution, Page suffered from years of depression, violent mood swings and spent a few years in a state mental institution.

She has been immortalized in comic books, biographies, movies, websites, shot glasses, Zippo lighters, action figures and just about every other product extension imaginable.

Later in life Bettie turned to religion but she was always shocked by her cultural relevance. “I have no idea why I’m the only model who has had so much fame so long after quitting work,” she said in an interview with The Times in 2006.

There was a single request for the interview, that she not be photographed.

“I want to be remembered,” she said, “as I was when I was young and in my golden times. . . . I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people’s perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form.”

A real life vixen and hero, Bettie Page will be missed.
