Betty Boop Shop

Looking for a Betty-Boop-themed gift for a Betty Boop fan in your life? You might have a hard time finding a store in your town that specializes in Betty Boop memorabilia; for some reason, most phonebooks don’t seem to have any listings for a Betty Boop shop.

Rest assured, though, that you’ll have far more luck if you look online. Just look for a Betty Boop shop on Google, and you’ll get links to Web site after Web site that has Betty-related wares to sell you.

The list starts with the Betty Boop Store, a page on the general animated-characters memorabilia site Big Dance List. Big Dance List’s Betty Boop Store has an array of clothing items: T-shirts (includes tank tops, short-sleeved shirts, and baby Tees), belt buckles, sweatshirts, key chains, and wristbands.

Some of this store’s apparel is very showy and designed to turn heads. The Betty Boop Beach Scene Baby Doll Tee is a T-shirt that very much fits this category. Every inch of the front side, sleeves and side hems included, explodes into a lush beach scene with tropical palms and white sands. Betty dances in the center in a grass skirt and lei.

“Betty Boop Store” is also the name of another Web site, bettyboopstore.com, which bills itself as “the official Betty Boop Store.” A thorough scan of its available merchandise and you’ll be hard-pressed to argue with it. Practically every imaginable kind of Betty-themed apparel, household products, knickknacks, and gift items in general are here in this one-stop Betty Boop Shop.

Do you like figurines? Then check out the Betty Boop Store’s Betty Boop Sock Hop Figurine, a resin knickknack that features Betty in a 1950s vintage red poodle skirt and white blouse. Her hair is done up in two bows, and an ornate belt with the letter “B” as a belt buckle enwraps her waist. Pudgy is at her feet, and a jukebox is behind them both.

Maybe kitchen ware is what you have in mind. The Betty Boop Store has a Betty Boop Collector Glass Set Coca-Cola Style, consisting of four 10-ounces glasses. A different Betty is etched into each glass: Betty in a purple dress, in a pink one, in a waitress outfit, and one Betty in a long skirt, blouse, and beret with a purse carrying Pudgy wrapped in one arm. All four Bettys have one trait in common: Each holds a bottle of Coca-Cola.
