I spent my money with Bunny Yeager...bought one of her books and she signed it. There was a guy in front of me with a PILE of Bettie Page material. It was obviously bootleg stuff because Bunny kept asking "Where did you get this?" and saying "I've never seen this before...who made this.." She was polite and signed about 20 autographs for this guy and he didn't give her a dime! Not cool.

What a creep!

Bunny Yeager told me she was disappointed that the person who was supposed to bring her most recent photo books flaked, which is perhaps why some people thought she was in a bad mood. I was happy to be able to meet her. I brought two vintage photography books by her for her to sign, then I bought an 8x10 and 2 of her books she was selling.

The books that never arrived:

I think $10 for an autograph by Yma Sumac, or $20 for a personally autographed 8x10 is a reasonable price. Some of the pictures of her I had never seen before.
