A Tribute to a True Icon of Skin

Nominated for five Golden Globes and the proud owner of two of the finest golden globes ever to grace Jiggle TV, pin-up queen and celebrated actress Farrah Fawcett finally succumbed to cancer today and Mr Skin is in mourning.

In the 1970s, Farrah started popping eyes with her popping nipples, which seemed about to burst out of whatever slinky top she was wearing during her reign on the original Charlie's Angels TV series.

Then those same ever-stiff nips turned her iconic picture into one of the best-selling pinup posters in history.

Past and Present Pin-Ups Meet Up!

China white skin, black hair topped off with a cap of shiny bangs, a boom-boom bod that makes one weak in the knees. We could be describing dearly departed pinup legend Bettie Page . . . or present-day burlesque queen Dita Von Teese.

Surprisingly, the two were able to meet sometime before Page passed away last week.

According to IMDb:

Von Teese remembers her encounter with the star fondly.

Of their meeting, Von Teese recalls, "She looked me up and down and said, 'You're an attractive girl, but a poor Bettie Page mimic'.

"I said, 'I know' and she laughed."

Forget meeting of the minds, this was a meeting of the bump-and-grinds! And don't miss Dita Von Teese naked in German Playboy!

Iconic Pinup Model Dies at 85

Today, more than 50 years after her career as a pinup model ended, the name and image of Bettie Page are still as well known as ever they were to rockabilly rebels, light bondage enthusiasts, and the women who make up roughly 102% of the fan-base of “burlesque” entertainment.

Yesterday, Bettie made headlines again when she died after her family took her off the life support she had been on since her heart attack earlier this month.

In the 1950s, Bettie had a career as a pinup model, appearing in men’s magazines like Playboy and posing for the nudie pics of “camera club” photographers.

Dita Von Teese Goes From Pin-Ups to Push-Ups as Spokesboobs for Wonderbra

Dita Von Teese, the goth-glam modern-burlesque queen whose style has launched a bazillion hipster-chick imitators, is now launching an official retro-boulder-holder line via Wonderbra.

“Lingerie shouldn't be something you just put on for your lover,” Dita said when announcing her new apparel, “you should do it for you.”

Yes, and lingerie is something you should take off for Mr. Skin!

She was the ultimate blonde bombshell, the 20th century's definitive sex goddess, Playboy's first cover girl, the last word when it came to cooing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" and an icon so incandescent that she is immediately identified by merely her first name: Marilyn.

Alas, the lights that burn brightest also often flame out the fastest, which is why we mourn the passing and pay awestruck tribute to the legacy of Marilyn Monroe, who died on this date in 1962.

Remember Marilyn as she was meant to be -- nude -- after the cut.
