Has anyone ever visited the Betty Boop Store at Islands of Adventure in Universal Studios in Florida? I was there two years ago and they have stuff galore!! They even have a woman dressed as Betty Boop and you take pictures with her. I've been a fan for about 20 years and my whole apartment is practically decorated with Betty. My cousin says I need to go to a rehab center (WINK). I replied , "you have to be a fan to understand" Let me know if anyone's checked it out!! Boop Power! ;)

Hi, Nydia,
I just went there this past August and it's so AMAZING. My eyes almost popped out of my head because I really didn't know that was there. I was walking along and all of a sudden I see a HUGE Betty Boop image above my head. I look, and it was a whole store for just Betty Boop. I was so excited. And, yes, they do have a person dressed as Betty Boop walking around. I felt like such a kid, but I took a ton of pics with her and I took video of her. I had a blast. Of course the store had a ton of the coolest stuff around, but I couldn't buy everything :( But I did buy some cool stuff, including some awesome Betty Boop dogtags. Love them.
It was definitely great to be there. It should be a mecca trip for all BB fans...lol.
Talk to you soon,
Lynnette :D

Hey, Nydia,
By the way, I notice your location says "the Bronx." You're not far from me at all. I live in Mount Vernon, NY. You literally are around the corner from me. I mostly work in the Bronx, actually.
Talk to you soon, Neighbor,
Lynnette :D

Hey, neighbor....how cool is that...so great t meet you....and I know exactly what you mean by not having "money" I think I spent about $200 that day but I had a head start..I already knew it was there. I have a big 5x7 pic of me and Betty at home. It's always so nice to meet another boop fan and better yet, not far from me...let's talk some more! :D

I think I had lots of control considering all I was facing. lol. That's cute you have your pic up. I should do that to mine. I was so happy.
Well, we will definitely talk soon. I think out of all of the members, we're probably the closest ones to each other.

Hi Boop fans...where's the Mall of America? I also went to Las Vegas in January and on the main strip theres a big souvenir shop where lo and behold, on the back of the store is dedicated to Betty Boop. I almost had a heart attack! It was a good thing I left my credit card at home. But I'm planning on going back to that store. If anyone's been there, I'd love to hear from you..It's near the Strastosphere Casino. :D

;) Also, I live in New York, where mostly all Hallmark stores have Betty Boop figurines and pillows and stuff. There's also a mall on 34th Street where they sell Betty Boop up the wazzoo!!:P
My daughter in a couple of years is going to the Air Force and I thnk I'm planning on converting her room to a Betty Boop Shrine :eek: because she just needs her own room! I can't fit anything anywhere and it doesn't stop me from buying!! :cool:

Hello,
There is annual Betty Boop Festival held in California every year. We have been going for the last 7 years. If you want more info, e-mail me at AZBOOP@AOL.COM. It is a blast. Last year Richard Fleischer (son of Max Fleischer) was there signing autographs on items you brought.

I'm president of the Betty Boop Motorcycle Club (fan club) and I've been considering having a convention but wondered if there was enough interest. Let me know if you'd be interested in a convention.
Thanks!!!

I'd definately be interested and i'm sure my best friend Boopsie-Cola would be, but the only problem is it would most likely be in the states, and we live in the UK!
