Betty Boop Rubbish Bin

I didn't think much of it at the time, but I'm a little bummed out that I passed on buying this two sided Betty Boop garbage can. Oh well, at least I took pictures. It has a little bit of a retro charm to it, but I'm not sure how old it really is. I think it would make a classy piece of decor in a bar or in a bathroom. Note the Boop-Boop-A-Doop at the bottom, which is spelled out with two Boops instead of the more common Boop-Oop-A-Doop.

Porcelain Betty Boop Wall Ornament

This delightful little wall charm, which I found inside of a Betty Boop trash can for sale, only went for a dollar at a flea market. It's about a half foot tall and has a 1985 KFS copyright stamped on the backside.

Her snazzy leg kick sold it for me, and she's now a nice little addition to my eclectically decorated walls. I've taken care to place her high up so she won't ever get knocked off and broken, which the ornament seems to have already had the misfortune of, as she appears to have once been broken at the right ankle and leg as well as at the left arm.

This particular item might have had an interesting history, perhaps like 'the red violin' in the 1998 movie of the same name. If she could talk, what would she say?

(Betty's leg dance was recently featured in two mobile phone video games, Betty Boop Bop and Betty Boop Beat, which I hold the highest score in in the Android universe - really someone should try and beat my current high score of 242.)
