...what Garbo and Bettie Page both had was It - a radiance, a mystery of personality, that transcends technique and passeth understanding. Bettie had a message that defined her medium, and a magic that defied it.

...this is not enough of a splash to keep you in the game, we suggest that she come in a wheelchair, and when the moment is right give her “the signal” to stand up and boogie. Everybody loves an underdog. When dancing with her, grind in a clockwise manner as is befitting a gentleman. Then comes the final dinner where they separate the men from the boys, the bourgeois from the landed gentry, the ribosomes from the other organelles.
