Betty Boop Pen Holder

I didn't necessarily need a pen holder, but it was Betty's long trail white dress that sold it for me. This combined with her long pearl necklace that hangs down to her waist and pearl earrings is as classy as they come.

People are still surprised whenever they see that I write with my left hand, although when it comes to penmanship, I've never had the greatest handwriting. When I would frantically scribble notes during class sometimes even I wouldn't be able to read my own writing. I still remember when I would hand-write reports and then type them up afterwards. Nowadays, I've found much more comfort in typing, but when preparing for movie reviews I still hand-write notes. In fact, when I'm in movie review mode, what I usually like to call "writing mode," I carry a notebook and pen around with me, in case an idea or inspiration happens to hit me.

I've also never been great at drawing. There was a time when I was around twelve or thirteen when I aspired to be a comic artist. I was mostly interested in drawing superhero babes. I had crushes on Rogue, Psylocke, Witchblade, and even Veronica Lodge from Archie Comics. I would attempt to draw them but never thought they would look as beautiful as they were supposed to be. Even recently I attempted to draw Betty Boop, and let me tell you she is not as easy to draw as you'd think.
