THE BETTIE PAGE ANNUAL TRIBUTE IN NYC, 1990-2004

Once a year in New York City, the fetish performance troupe THE HOUSE OF DOMINATION presented a gala evening of Bettie Page worship, held at various New York nightclub venues including Jackie 60, Don Hill's, CBGB Gallery, and in 2004, CROBAR. The House brought to life the many Bettie Page performance traditions immortalized in her Movie Star News films and cheesecake. The night revolved around THE BETTIE REALNESS COMPETITION, where Bettie look-a-likes competed for cash and title. Other years featured themed performances in the tease genre, photography exhibits and the occasional play.

With the release of THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE film (with a performance by HOUSE OF D Legend HEATHER LITTEER aka JESSICA RABBIT DOMINATION) and the enormous growth of MS. PAGE as an industry, the House of D decided a few years ago to end this much-loved annual. When we began, BETTIE was very much a cult star, but she has since joined the mainstream - and deservedly so!

Participants in past editions have included dozens of House of Domination stars including BETTY, MARTI, DOLLY and BROWN BETTIE (who was discovered during our first lookalike contest at THE BETTY BALL) and special performers including JENNIFER MIRO of THE NUNS, SHERRY VINE and JOEY ARIAS. This night was also helped greatly in its early years by the huge participation of GREG THEAKSTON and his seminal BETTIE PAGES.
