Boop-Oop-A-Doop
It has been nearly 80 years since Betty Boop, America's first animated sex symbol, made her film debut. The Betty we know and love today started out as a curvy canine cabaret singer in Max Fleischer's short film Dizzy Dishes. It was released in August of 1930. She has captivated audiences ever since.
Betty Boop has always held a special place in my heart. Part of it is the name, but it's her sexy innocence that has always captivated me. I have several Betty Boop knick-knacks and jewelry boxes, and a collection of Betty Boop Christmas Ornaments.

Betty Boop was sexy but beneath it all she was still shy.
Sexy Lady
Unlike the other animated female characters of the time, Betty was given womanly features. She wore short dresses, high heels and a garter belt. The contoured bodice of her dress was low showing a distinct amount of cleavage. The male characters in her films were well aware of her sex appeal. They were often caught sneaking a peak into her dressing room or looking down her cleavage.

I Love Christmas!
I love Christmas, the magic and the wonder of it all. Friends and family come together to celebrate the joy of the season. Part of that fun is decorating the Christmas tree. We make a day of it. There's eggnog and laughter along with the ornaments and the lights.
It surprises me sometimes to see how much of my personality, my son's and my husband's personality is tucked among the branches when we are done. My husband has his Three Stooges Ornaments, my oldest son has a collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ornaments, and my youngest son prefers his Harry Potter Ornaments. Me...well I have my Angles, Elvis, and of course Betty Boop.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
