Gotta love Betty Boop!


Last evening, Aso and I were settin' around the Neko Shak, yakkin' our ears off in VC, while he was searching Xstreet for a little sumpin' sumpin' to give his loyal AKC clothing purchasers for Christmas, and I was off on Facebook playing Bejeweled Quest. (Which, btw, is highly addictive, frustrating as hell, and OMG, Aso, HOW did you get THAT high of a score?  Are you cheating on me with the programmers for tips?  LOL)  I decided to help him out by searching through the highly inadequate search engine of SL.
     Thinking that I'd developped a lead with my sleuthing skills... NOT!.... I came across a fantastic little Christmas sim that had animated textures that twinkled, and played holiday music.  Although I really wanted the one that played the Chipmunks' Christmas song, (didn't play very well, appeared to have a piece of the music or two missing... ), I turned around and saw one that featured Miss Boop, that wonderful, campy lady of the 1930's, pre-censorship era.  A gay icon, of course, for her delightful drag, and ballsy attitude, she was the original feminist of the cartoon world, whose boyfriend was a dog, and always had to fight off the advances of leacherous employers, landlords and suitors.
     I, of course, simply HAD to get it for my own little "Betty B.", who, in spite of runnin' around with his undies hangin' out a lot of the time, and Godz forbid we get him in a shirt, is one of the most naively innocent and sweet li'l kittehs that you'll ever meet!  So, here, for your listening and viewing pleasure, is what I was assured by an ancient drag queen many years ago, the "official gay Christmas song!" Sung by Helen Kane, who, along with Clara Bow, was one of the inspirations for Betty B., I hope you enjoy this song as much as we do!



OMG!  Merely a fortnight left, Li'l Kitteh!

  1. Hey! I wear a shirt...sometimes. :3 Betty Boop is one of my favs...of course. Gotta love how censorship has turned America into one of the most prudish countries in the world. LOL. Not EVERYTHING can be taboo people. Sheesh.
