Bettie Page's Agent in the News

Mark Roesler, Bettie's agent, now representing her estate for her family, recently appeared on 60 Minutes. This article quotes liberally from the piece. We found one section particularly amusing...

[Roesler's] real clients are the heirs and estates of the dearly departed, who ultimately approve or reject the merchandising deals that CMG puts together. ...Products range from low-end tchotchkes like trashcans and handbags, to the mid-range items like "Marilyn Merlot."

Also for sale are playfully prurient outfits inspired by the late pinup queen, Bettie Page. They are marketed as Halloween costumes, but Roesler says they seem to sell all year round.

Anyone for some "after Halloween" shopping?
