Moschino has launched its first Limited Edition collection created to celebrate the 2018 Chinese New Year.

The ready-to-wear collection and accessories includes 7 items (sweater, T-shirt, dress, backpack, key ring, scarf, iPhone case), all in Betty’s signature color red, traditionally considered a goodwill color. The Limited Edition 2018 Chinese New Year collection will be available online at moschino.com, at the main Moschino boutiques in Milan, Rome, London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles, through the Moschino franchises’ network and the most prestigious multi-brand stores in the world. Hi, Everybody, My family at King Features and Fleischer Studios have been working with me on a project that is very dear to my heart and I wanted to share it with all my wonderful fans. Some months back, Woman’s Day asked me to join their campaign to create awareness about heart disease — the biggest killer of women. For more than a decade, the magazine has been one of the most prominent leaders in promoting a heart healthy lifestyle. I kept thinking, what can I do? I’m only one li’l person! Then it hit me! In my dreams, I’ve always wanted to fly. To soar. You know, like an eagle. Or a plane. Or a superhero. So I asked my family at King Features and they created a three-page custom comic strip adventure exclusively for the Woman’s Day campaign starring … MOI … as the Heroine of Hearts! Don’t I look marvelous?!? That’s right! You know, I’ve starred in comic strips before during my career, but never in anything quite like this. This comic strip is oh-so-fun and cool and yet it speaks about a very serious health issue for women. In it, I’m battling the evil villain Dark Heart … and helping … well, I don’t want to spoil it. You’ll just have to check it out yourself. It’s in the March issue of Woman’s Day on newsstands now. Pick up a copy today or, if you want to read it online, click here. Oh, another cool thing? The wonderful team at Woman’s Day invited me to walk the red carpet tonight at their big event – the 2017 Red Dress Awards, honoring those who outstanding people who have made significant contributions in the fight against heart disease. Stay “tooned” for updates at WomansDay.com, including news about the star-studded event! Finally, to celebrate this amazing partnership, King Features and Woman’s Day will make donations to several women’s heart health organizations. So, my friends, keep your heart booping along by living a healthy lifestyle. You’ll discover there are lots of vital tips in the March Woman’s Day! Boop-Oop-a-Doop! Love, Xoxox Betty Hi, Everybody, If you enjoy eating really good food surrounded by a fun décor and you live in – or are planning to visit – Tokyo, you have to check out the first Official Betty Boop Diner in all of Japan! Ooohhh, I’m so excited! There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes to bring it all to fruition, but kudos to everyone who has worked so hard. It was a wonderful opening and the place looks great! It really is cool. It’s reminiscent of a 1950s U.S. West Coast eating establishment with an atmosphere that makes my guests feel as if they are stepping into a scene from a movie. And you know how I LOVE the movies. It’s just fun, fun, fun! Here are some photos I thought you’d enjoy. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So it was really cool to discover that the ladies on “The View” were planning to get animated and dress up for Halloween as some of the world’s most beloved cartoon characters. And guess what? Jedediah Bila went red — dressing up as moi! Check out all the fun costumes in Us Weekly! Have a spooktacular day! Love, Xoxox Betty Hola, Betty Boop amigas in Mexico! Look for the brand-new fashion collaboration designed by Royal Closet launched exclusively for sale in a selection of 30 Liverpool stores, the country’s largest chain of mid- to high-end department stores. The Betty Boop by Royal Closet collection, which features clothing, pajamas, swimwear and accessories, is inspired by different trends of gender empowerment, expressed through embroideries and prints (abstractions, lips, eyes, polka dots, hearts) and limited to a palette of three colors: white, black and red. The Royal Closet brand, owned by Montserrat Oliver (actress, fashion icon, TV host and entrepreneur), and Carlos Ortega, dovetails beautifully with Betty Boop. The new fashion line represents an amazing translation of the vintage style character that is perfectly suited for today’s contemporary women who are independent, versatile, feminine, bold, with unique personalities, who are not afraid to express themselves and be noticed. Just like Betty Boop! Hey, fans in Japan!
