I'm surprised to hear that there aren't many Betty Boop items in Hawaii. I thought there would be.

I just saw some brand new Betty Boop Hawaiian themed items that will be introduced by Character Collectibles this spring. She is on a surfboard and in a grass skirt... bobbers, figurines and photo frames. They will be great additions to any collection.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Speaking of computers.... have you seen the Betty Boop sitting figurine that fits perfectly on your computer monitor screen? It is really cute and she makes me smile!!! I love having one on my monitor.

[boopcrazy]

Well no there really isn't much I need to look in Hilo. A coworker of mine saw a betty tounge ring and is getting it for me she said she saw a bunch of things at this store in Hilo (spencers) and thought of me. :D No i have not seen the sitting figurine where can i get it? :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

I've heard that Spencers has quite a few of the Betty Boop jewelery items. Do they have any collectibles like figurines?

The Sitting Betty Boop figurine is made by Vandor (Part #10053) They only made 4,800 of these... so it's a limited edition item.

It's called a shelf sitter and/or computer monitor figurine.

I've seen it available on eBay or you can probably find it at one of the online shops. We have it in stock.

Here's a picture of it

she's so lovely! I wouldn't mind having that figurine on my monitor!

[boopcrazy]

I love it!:D where can I get? You said you have it in stock, where is that and how can I get? How much is it from you? Well the spencers in Maui had a whole wall with blankets clothes and all sorts of things betty. I've only been in this one once for a breif time and didn't see any thing but only glanced around. I did get a doll at suncoast she has a stand but I'm not taking it out of the box.

[Bikerbettyboop]

[Bikerbettyboop]

Ok dokie.. you're welcome!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I meant to ask you Boopcrazy how you like living in Hawaii? Have you always lived there?

[boopcrazy]

I lived in maui about 3 yrs or so ago my last son (3yr old) was born there, but I'm on the big island now and yes it's much better. No i am from portland or orig.


My in- laws live in arizona, i thought it was nice when we went to visit. have you always been there?

[Bikerbettyboop]

I was born in Ohio, grew up in Southern California, lived in Las Vegas for 3 years and then we moved here in 1998 and we love it here.

How many children do you have?

Where in Arizona are your inlaws?

[BBooper]

that BB is so Boopadelic! :P

[boopcrazy]

wow thats alot of moving. I have 3 boys 3,5,7. my inlaws are in Queencreek.

can i ask bikerbetty how old you are?

me i'm 26 married 61/2yrs :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Boopadelic? ha ha.........

Oh I know where Queen Creek is ... that's down near Phoenix.. I'm up north about 125 miles north of Phoenix and 80 miles south of Flagstaff.... near Prescott.

I am 53 3/4 years old and I have a son that is 33.

I'm old enough to be everyone's mother and in some cases their grandmother on this forum.

But it's ok, I'm getting used to being the "oldie but goodie".. ha ha

[JennyBoop]

BikerBetty yea you may be A little older then most of us but you are one really cool lady to be around.:D

[boopcrazy]

I agree with Jenny, I think it's awsome that your love for bb has stayed strong, I can keep my love for her going, knowing that as i get older it will still be cool for me to love her, and not kidish as my husband would put it.

Thank you bikerbetty!!!!!!! :D

I'm very glad i found this site now i don't feel silly or like I'm the only that loves my girl Betty!!!!!! :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Thanks everyone for the really nice remarks. I appreciate it. I'm trying to stay hip and not get too old too fast but there's no denying that we're all going to get a little older someday.

But you are both right that Betty Boop helps us to stay young and happy because she is just so much fun! Everything about her makes her fit the times! No matter whether it was the 1930's through the 1990's to now! She is just with it!

And I love that she appeals to so many people in all walks of life and all ages. Betty Boop, probably more so than any other figure that I can think of, epitomizes what being a happy woman is all about. It's her attitude!!!

And since I am surrounded by her here in my office and at home and in my car and in my dress and in my lifestyle.. Betty Boop and my family and my friends and having God's blessings in my life, help make me a very happy camper!

And it's so nice to count so many people here on the forum among my friends. Young or old.. it doesn't matter. I really like everyone here very much. It's a fun place to visit and a great club to belong to!!

It's a Betty Boop Members Only kind of place!

[boopcrazy]

"Clapping"

You said it bikerbetty.

I feel great now, you know i never even knew why excactly i liked her i just know i always have, and you've hit the nail on the head. I tell everyone that ask me why i like her, and i just say she's cool, and beautiful, and yes she is what a woman is and she's happy! :D

Thank you ALL!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Thanks for agreeing with me.

When I first decided to start this business, I remember my dad's advice. "Any business should be something you are passionate about regardless of what it is!"

And that's why selling Betty Boop licensed merchandise made logical sense!! So that's what I've been doing since 1998 and I haven't regretted it one bit. And so you can imagine how thrilled I was when MGCHAN contacted me in Feb. 2003 and told me about this new forum idea. I think it's been a huge success!

[JennyBoop]

That is very cool BikerBetty you have A career that you love, not alot of people can say that. I have been kind of thinking about maybe sometime down the road of having my own cake decorating buisiness out of my home, but I'm not quite sure.:D Oh by the way your father is right, about what he said.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Jenny I just asked you a similar question in another thread.

I think you could do well at it.. would it be difficult to get permits and is there health dept. requirements?

Didn't Mrs. Fields start her cookie business from home? I know a lot of businesses get started at home.

[JennyBoop]

:D Actually I do think Mrs. Fields did start from out of her home. Hey everyone has to start from somewhere.:D Yea I would think i would have to get permits and there is the health department, I'll have to do some investigating.;)

[boopcrazy]

good for you jenny!:D

[JennyBoop]

Thank you Boopcrazy.:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

At least it's a start.

[Melissa Jones]

Hey Biker

Do you still have those Shelf/monitor sitters????? i really really really would love one of them. any other new stuff around.

how are all the business's mentioned here going??

[lilhommieb74]

u no for the icon i would tell u to go 2 icons.com but i tried it and its under constuction...ive been looking for da icon 2!

bikerbetty...spencers does hav things of bb.....but its so expensive over there!! wen i went dey didnt hav any figerines though!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Melissa.. yes we stil have the shelf sitters.

I don't know about anyone else's business but ours is fine.. thanks for asking.

Lil74 what kind of icon are you looking for?

I know that Spencers sells really cute Betty Boop products. We don't have one here.. our town is too small. You are lucky if you have one near you. Do they mostly sell jewelry?

[boopcrazy]

no spencers sells what i guess u could call novoltiy items, the spencers on maui was my fav cause they had a section on the wall that had all sorts of different betty things i just loved it, they had blankets shirts, ect.... all sorts of different things.......the one here on the big island doesn't have any betty things tho, but i did get a doll at one of the movie stores in the mall.

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's been several years since I visited a Spencer's and that was in Las Vegas. It only had jewelry... sounds like they've added more items in addition to the jewelry. That's cool.

[boopcrazy]

yeah spencers is cool, alot of adult stuff to tho like games, cards, and different things, they keep those in the back of the store, which is good. they really do it up on halloween, my kids hate even goin past it then.

[Bikerbettyboop]

It sounds like it's really a fun place to shop!!

[boopcrazy]

it is i love it, it's also good if you know someone getting married.

I bought my husband some gag gifts there for christmas one yr and they turned out to be his fav. gifts.

just a cool place to look and have some laughs.

[lilhommieb74]

biker bety... im looking for any icon dat looks cute and dat it has bb on it!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Boopcrazy I'm glad that your hubby liked his Spencer's gifts!! LOL!!

Hi Lil 74.. I don't know what you mean when you say you are looking for a BB "ICON" ... do you mean like a computer icon or what? I'm confused.

[Melissa Jones]

soooo much is going on in here. im confused just trying to follow it all.

I'm going to visit you site again soon Biker gotta get me one of dem shelf sitter.

You gals have all the great sounding shops - we've got zip here. well nothing that sells good BB stuff anyway.

Lil 74 found your icon yet?????

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Mel... I've heard from a few people that it's difficult to find Betty Boop items in Australia.... I wish there were more shops available for you because shipping is so expensive and seems to take forever for packages to arrive!!

[Melissa Jones]

yeah but they do get here ;)

I certainly wish there were more places that sold genuine BB items here. But look at it this way if we did then i probably would not be searching on the net, hence finding this site, thus finding your store.........

[Bikerbettyboop]

Aw so aptly put!! Bravo my dear!!

I'm glad you found this site too..even more so than having you find the store because here on the forum you are one of my friends and I am so grateful for that!

Don't get me wrong customers are wonderful but being friends is even better!!

[Melissa Jones]

thats so sweet. :)

My day just doesn't seen complete if i haven't visited you all here.

My b'friend is calling it my "affair" as i stay back a little after work to catch up with you all. Its all good fun though.

[st nurse boop]

Hi was wondering if one of you lovely people would be able to helpme in my quest?
I am trying to get hold of a Betty Boop slot machine-

http://i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/02/77/38/9f_1_b.JPG

I have tried trawling thru the internet but most suppliers don't
seem to want to ship to the uk any help would be appreciated.

[Bikerbettyboop]

There aren't too many sellers here in the U.S. who are willing to ship international because of the extra work involved.

In this case, a slot machine may be too large of an item to be shipped via the postal service anyway. I know they do have size restrictions, which means another form of shipping would have to be used and that may not be very cost efficient in the end.

[st nurse boop]

Thanks for that Bikerbetty we have now managed to get hold of one, apparantly there are only four in England!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh congrats on your slot machine.. I'd love to see a photo of it!! Is it lots of fun or what????

[st nurse boop]

we haven't picked it up yet Bikerbetty will post pics a.s.a.p :D

Its my birthday/christmas present :cool:

Take care

Tracy

[Candlesnboop]

Sounds like fun Tracy!!! I am glad you found it. I bet it was hard to find it :)

[st nurse boop]

It was put on e bay (uk) twice didnt reach the reserve first time round? but we bought it for the price that the first, last bidder bid if you can understand my iffy english lol

Will have it soon and I promise will post a pic !
my husband does spoil me, makes up for the times he p's me off lol ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi St Nurse Boop... that is so exciting that you're getting a slot machine... that will be so much fun!!!

Sure helps to have a husband who loves to spoil you doesn't it? What a wonderful gift!!

And I thought I was pretty lucky to get a new leather jacket!! That's nothing compared to a slot machine. Wow!

[st nurse boop]

I know I am lucky!
Will be picking the Betty slot machine up nexy weekend :D
Will post you a pic of it and you are right I am lucky to have a husband that spoils me!
speak and post pics soon!

Love Tracy xxx

[bettyboopfan]

I would love to see the slot machine.
My mom went to Vegas last year and played a BB slot machine. She took a pic of it for me. I would love to have it!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I've played the Betty Boop slot machines and they are so much fun!!! They are really popular machines.. all the Betty Boop fans love to play them!!

[bettyboopfan]

I would love to have my own!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

One of my friends just got one!! Isn't that neat???

[st nurse boop]

We picked the slot machine up yesterday and its gorgeous will get my husband to take some pics tomorrow and will post them for sure ;-)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Have you been playing it much? Does it take tokens or coins?

[st nurse boop]

Yes we've been playing it lots!

The machine came with 100's of tokens but can be modified to take 10 pences.

Betty Boop is very addictive lol

[bettyboopfan]

I wonder how much a person could purchase a slot machine for???

I am really wanting one!!!

[st nurse boop]

Heres a link for the British shop Betty Boop is on bottom left ;)

http://www.americandream.co.uk/home.htm

[Bikerbettyboop]

This is very cool! I wonder how much it would cost to ship one to the U.S.?

[BeeBop]

I am new and is still surfing my way around all the different posts... there certainly are a lot of great information shared out here for Betty Boop fans like me. I will check on clubbetty for BB stuffs.

I wish I had found this site sooner.
Good site and great BBoopers out here!

[Bikerbettyboop]
