Such a beautiful pinch-me moment. The legacy that is Bettie has had such an impact on me at so many different pivotal moments in my life. In my teens seeing vintage photos of her at flea markets and in my adult life. A year ago I really went down the rabbit hole educating myself on powerful, impactful and unapologetic women; Bettie of course being at the center of it all. I identify with so much of what she embodied and promoted in her lifetime and serendipitously 6 months later I got an email from her estate. The universe really manifested this in the most beautiful kind of way. The ability to work with so many talented, kind and passionate women to make this happen has truly made my heart feel full. Thanks to all the people that showed up, that got excited and inspired & most importantly that came together to celebrate & connect in honor of the queen of pin ups.
