An Evening with Bettie Page

A Cinematic Burlesque Spectacular To Benefit Award-Winning Nonprofit Pin-Ups for Vets

Pin-Ups for Vets is known for throwing not-so-average fundraisers to benefit hospitalized Veterans and deployed Troops. On Dec 6th, the organization is inviting the community to join them for an Evening with “Bettie Page”: A Cinematic Burlesque Spectacular at the Crest Theater in Westwood at 7:30pm.

The event will feature Calendar Girls, Bettie Page Style Burlesque, fashion show by Vintage-Inspired Clothing designer Voodoo Vixen and a special screening of the film “Bettie Page Reveals All”. With proceeds of the event going to benefit our American Heroes, the nonprofit is encouraging the community to dress in their favorite retro-wear and join them in celebrating the work of this iconic Pin-Up.
