Betty Boop

...My all-time favourite cartoon icon...

Betty Boop was first seen in the 30s, yeah long before we were all born, by Grim Natwick, the very first animator to draw Betty as a human-like dog. Did you know that Betty was not yet been officially named by then. Grim took inspiration for Betty's spit curls from a song called the "Boop Oop a Doop Girl". She had a black button nose and floppy ears hinting at her canine nature. These ears later became her round earrings. Grim must be a fan of singer Helen Kane to have Betty's high baby voice, like the spit curls too, an imitation of her. Betty became completely human in 1932 and her ears permanently became earrings. There are a few reasons why I love Betty:

1. she has a big head with the sexy spit curls, centre parting some more!
2. her eyes are sexy, even when she winks at you.
3. her eyebrows tend to frown down, so cute la.
4. she kicks and jerks anytime, anywhere she wants hahahaha....
5. I always wonder why doesn't she topple in those high-heels as her body doesn't follow the law of stability (bigger top than bottom)!
