For almost 20 years, iconic pin-up girl Bettie Page has greeted drivers along I-5 North near the NE 65th Street exit. The towering mural is now known throughout Seattle and beyond. In 2016, world-renowned drag queen Divine, joined Page on the west-facing side of Chris Brugos and Jessica Baxter’s home. It’s their homage to highlighting empowering and impactful feminist icons.
Over the years, the couple has had to deal with their fair share of vandalism, but the most recent incident is the most extreme. Over the Memorial Day Weekend, two people using a spray painter doused the mural and home in red, blotchy, splashes of paint.

Why are these stupid hateful people here? Go back to Arlington or whatever hole you came from. These are the same MAGA clowns who want to run over protestors. Just go away. Oh what fun we will have when Pendulum swings. Back to the caves KKKLans man & woman. Your not wanted in the 206 or PNW!
Left eating the left
imagine having to live next to a massive portrait of a drag queen though
Chris Brugos and Jessica Baxter did it for attention and $$$
No comment
I'd leave it that way. Blood drenched pin up/drag horror is pretty metal
I wouldn't be surprised if it were right wing christians. Perhaps they are trying to distract attention away from the 150 catholic priests and other catholics in Baltimore accused of molesting over 600 children (2023), or maybe the 286 priests accused of child molestation in Texas (2019), or the Pennsylvania case of nearly 1,700 priests and clergy accused of molesting over 1,000 children.
christians cannot tolerate a painting on the side of a house of a drag queen, but operating as the single largest safe house for child molesters in the history of the world? Not so much.
Loved seeing that driving from Lynnwood ! Haters will hate
Bettie Page is cool. Divine is gross. How about Marilyn Monroe?
im guessing there was no problem untill they painted that monstrosity next to bettie.
Destroying another person's work and residence because the art they enjoy and display represents the lowest of low self value, in my personal opinion. I believe the person or persons responsible should they be found, should be properly evaluated and treated for the inappropriate behavior, self expression.
❤ love that house. As an American I support your right to free expression on your private property and your safety measure choices as well as what you do inside. 😊❤
They wanted attention, now they got it. Don't feel sorry for them.
Actually, we should charge the assholes with hate crimes.
I get what they were going for with the red bloody vandalism, but honestly it kinda fits well if they knew the background to the characters. Looks cool either way, more attention to it
Looks like Garbage not Murals!!!
MAGA = DOMESTIC TERRORIST!
Nice
😮😢
Well the Devine manatee is the defacement…
I just have an intuitive feeling that maybe the vandals dont even know who either person ,celebrity is.If they are under 40. probably not.
Imagine being so triggered over a mural that you have to vandalize it and also someone’s home. Pathetic
This is sad to see. I look forward to seeing the Bettie Page Mural when I make my car trip from Burien
Looks better with red paibt
Didn't antifa teach these people anything? Use fire not spray paint
Love these articles because they bring out the rabid bigots on the comments. Anyone who hates Betty or Divine is a fvcking boring loser. 😂
Those are perfect feminist icons for seattle a mentally unstable girl and a guy that dresses like a girl that eats poop. That pretty much represents girls of seattle. Good job
Stop voting for democrats
Morons and cowards vandalizing private property.
Useless imbeciles
It's christmas in June…
Welcome to The Snowflakening.
Thank god for hoa! Lol
I'm not down at all with vandalism, but calling Bettie Page and drag queens "feminist icons " is ignorant.
Antifa attached antifa
Those people suck been driving by this since I was little
