A Betty Boop theme party can be a great idea for a girls’ night out party, for a bachelorette party as well as for a little lady’s party. It is a fun way to spend some time with your friends in a girlish and sometimes flirty style. In addition to that, it offers plenty of opportunities to decorate the room and organize the entire party. According to the age of the girls, there are more ways to think and plan a Betty Boop theme party.

Little Betty Boop Party (Child to Teenager)

Little girls are in love with pink and so is Betty Boop, so you can make pink as the main color when decorating the room and choosing your menu for the party. Also, add a few red accents (Betty Boop’s specific color) and do not forget to insert some black and white accents to highlight the ‘30s style. Use pink and red balloons to decorate the party area. Look for balloons decorated with hearts and lips to make them more Betty’s style. Also, purchase some white stuffed dogs with black patches so that every girl will have her own Pudgy.

Include as many pink and red objects as you can to create the impression that you are in Betty’s room. Purchase some glittering clothes in these colors and throw them around the room to make the girls feel like they are in Betty Boop’s boudoir. If you can find enough clothes resembling Betty’s style you can even make the girls dress up in them and become Betty Boop! You can be sure they will have lots of fun admiring themselves in the mirror.

Also, organize a small make-up corner, where the girls can have fun re-creating the Betty Boop look. This is what they mean by glamorous party, so let them have their share of fun. If they have not used make-up before supervise them to prevent any type of possible accidents.

Serve them strawberry milkshake (it is pink so it will go great with the décor), strawberry ice-cream, strawberry cotton candy and everything you can think of containing strawberries; chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream and pink, non-alcoholic champagne for some bubbles. Also, some sandwiches will be great if the party lasts longer. Cut them in triangles or use cookie cutters for making stars, hearts or any other shapes you have in your kitchen. The girls will love them!

For entertainment you can play different Betty Boop games that can be found on the internet (most of them are free to download). You can also give a piece of paper to each girl and play “Who is it?” In this game the girls should draw an animal or human head, then fold the paper so that only the neck will be visible and pass the paper to the next girl, who draws the torso, folds the paper and passes it on to the next girl who draws the legs. Then the paper is unfolded to see the creature.

For the invitations print a drawing featuring Betty Boop on pink paper and cut it into a heart shape.

Grownups’ Sex Symbol Party

If for little ladies the Betty Boop themed parties will mainly exploit this character’s passion for fashion and good looks, the women’s party will mostly draw on Betty’s sexuality as well as on her backgrounds: the Jazz Era and the ‘30s. For this, you will have to create an art deco environment. You can find lots of objects inspired by that period in the thrift shops, so do not be afraid to experiment and redecorate your room or your house in that style for one night. Go for opulence and straight lines, feel free to experiment and adjust the art deco style to your needs. It will be a nice exercise for you and a stunning surprise for your guests.

Follow the idea of a Hollywood starlet boudoir and add a make-up corner just like in the girl’s party. Regardless of their age, women love to look good and will not refrain from making some retouched to their make-up once in a while or even change it according to your theme!

Ask your guests to dress like Betty Boop and at their arrival offer them some feather boas to add a more glamorous and fun touch to your party. Also, place some large golden earrings and some matching bracelets on the make-up table, so that those who did not get dressed for the event can accessorize their outfit and look more like Betty Boop!

Serve your guests with elegant and delicious deserts including chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream and strawberries covered in chocolate or whipped cream. They always work great for a girls’ party! Use vintage plates and cutlery to recreate the ‘30s atmosphere. Accompany your precious desserts with a glass of champagne.

While you are eating, play (on your computer or TV) a selection of the best Betty Boop cartoons. This way you will spend some entertaining moments and get more inspiration for your next activities or for your make-up and costuming. The rest of the party play Jazz music and try on some of Charleston, Shimmy, Bunny Hug or Black Bottom dances. This will further introduce you in the Jazz Era atmosphere.

Apart from dancing and watching Betty Boop cartoons, other activities can be used to entertain your guests. Asking them to carry a glass filled with water wearing heels and a book on their head is another great way to spend the time. The first one reaching the finish line without spilling a drop of water is the winner.

For Betty Boop invitations, pick a stylish picture, print it on white or champagne paper and seal it with a red lipstick mark. It will give it a personal and sexy look.

When it comes to Betty Boop themed parties the key of success lies in creativity. Play with art deco, jazz, glamorous looks and elegant desserts and you will have the perfect party, the party that will be remembered by all those taking part in it!

A Betty Boop costume is a simple, yet highly impressive look. There is no way you could ever remain unnoticed in the sexy red dress, specific for this classic sex icon! Achieving the perfect Betty Boop look is quite simple, though you need to prepare in advance if you want to have a stunning look for Halloween.

Betty Boop Makeup

The first thing that you will need to do is practice the make-up. Betty Boop was a cartoon figure, so some of her features have been designed accordingly. Purchase a pair of false eyelashes (it is recommendable to go for the largest size you can find), some special make-up brushes and lots of black eyeshadow and/or black eye pencil.

Begin by covering your entire face in foundation. Cover your eyebrows too, so that your face color will look as uniform as a sheet of paper. Then, draw your eyebrows on your forehead, at the middle between your real brows and the hair line. Make them larger and thinner than your actual brows and curve them in the same manner as Betty Boop. She is a cartoon, so a little exaggeration is certainly okay!

With the same pencil or with one of the sharp make-up brushes, draw some the curly locks of hair at your hairline. This will give you a more accurate look as you will likely not be able to make those lock out of your hair (unless you’re a real cartoon character). In addition to that, this little trick will give extra volume to your hair and wig.

Once the false hair is drawn you can move on to your eyes. Color the inner of the lower lid in white with an eye pencil and then contour the eyes with a black liner. Make the contour as round as possible and apply the false eyelashes for a dramatic look. You can also add a bit of silvery glittering eyeshadow. Complete the make-up with cherry red lipstick.

Your Hair

Betty Boop was a cartoon character from the Flapper era of the 1920′s and 30′s, distinguished by short hair called a Bob. It was symbolic of a feminist rebellion against the earlier Gibson look, a high maintenance, fantasy-like hairstyle that was considered the ideal of feminine beauty. By contrast, the Bob was flat, short, sleek, modern and low-maintenance.

If you have black hair, you can likely do this yourself by shaping your locks, using these instructions. Otherwise, fit a “Bob” or “Flapper” wig over your head to achieve the look

Dress Up!

The next important thing after the make-up is choosing the right Betty Boop dress. Because Betty Boop is associated with the flapper girl, you should go for a glittering dress that will stand out and make a statement. You can either go for a red mini dress with a white garter and black fishnet stockings or you can choose a long dress with high up slit and nude stockings. Whatever version you choose, it is important to achieve that sexy starlet look that turns heads anywhere and any time.

Accessorize the outfit with a pair of golden earrings and matching golden bracelets, add a black curly wig and put on a pair of red high heels and you will have the sexiest Betty Boop look that you can achieve! Don’t forget to tone your voice accordingly and beat your eyelashes every time you get a compliment!

Boop-boop-de-doop oop!

The story of Betty Boop starts in 1930 on 9th of August when she first made her appearance in the Fleischer’s Talkartoon series. Modeled on the pattern given by Clara Bow and having the same sweet Brooklyn accent as Helen Kane, Betty Boop debuted in Dizzy Dishes. Her appearance was a hit and in 1932 the little sexy girl was given a series of her own in which she could display all her talents. Betty sang and danced and exhibited provocative clothes that kept men in front of the television when the she was on.

The debut of Betty Boop cartoons marked the beginnings of a new type of cartoon: the ones addressed to the adult public, who will get away from quotidian worries and will plunge in a world of fantasy mixed with the purest realty. To match this new type of cartoons, Paramount had to design a character which will create the illusion of reality, but at the same time will work great in any surreal situation.

So, they created Betty Boop, the perfect flapper girl and at the same time an innocent figure with lots of heart. It was impossible not to love Betty! She was the perfect combination between purity and sex symbol, the type of girl you will want to take home to be your little sister, your friend and your lover.

People instantly fell for Betty and until 1934 (when Betty’s image was tamed), she remained the perfect illustration of the sexualized female cartoon character. Unlike other female cartoon characters, which were mere imitations of their male counterparts, Betty represented the woman with sexy looks, determination and a touch of superficiality whenever things went wrong. Even after 1934, when the sexual tone was prohibited and Betty turned into a docile woman, she still retained something of that specific flavor of hers which made people love her.

With such a great popularity and lots of fans admiring Betty, it is no wonder that a Betty Boop Halloween costume is still a hit nowadays. Yet, in order to become a true Betty Boop you will have to give proper attention to each and every detail. Thus, there are two available gowns if you want to adopt this style for Halloween: the red long gown with a daring slit up on your hip or the short red dress for an even more provocative look, so that you can choose the length which suits you best. Look up for costumes made up of glittering fabrics as they will make you look even more like a Hollywood starlet!

Add a white garter with a red heart attached to it on your left leg to create a more sexy look! Complete the outfit with the appropriate Betty Boop makeup (with cherry red lips and round big eyes) and a cute black curly wig. With such a look you will definitely be the queen of the party, just like Betty Boop was the queen of animated movies!

Yes indeed, there’s nothing as fun and exciting as great Halloween costumes. I am constantly searching for great Halloween costumes. My seven year old daughter simply adores October 31st. Last year she went as a witch.

However, not just any witch, but a teeth chattering, horrifying witch with bloody fangs and sinister make-up. Anyway, I searched through a number of great Halloween costumes before I finally found that one. You know, I finally stopped bothering with the local Halloween superstores.

Not that they don’t carry a few great Halloween costumes, but they always sell everything out so fast. I rather prefer the World-Wide-Web of great Halloween costumes. Now, when I say great, I mean fantastic. Get that perfect bone-chilling costume before it disappears. Pop open that Mac or PC and get started today.
