It's not strange to see in any shop of the world an object with the image of Betty Boop. She is synonym of glamour. Her sexy and retro image captivates many people. Betty Boop was born in 1929. In the beginning, she wasn't like is known today. Grim Natwich, the creator of Betty, draw 2 dogs. One of them was Bimbo (that stayed as a dog forever), the other was Bimbo's girlfriend, a french poodle (in the future will be Betty) . Natwitch, not pleased with the result of the Bimbo girlfriend (he thought that was quite ugly) , made some changes. The dog ears were replaced for a hoop earrings and her poodle fur became a bob haircut and her body was changed to a sexy woman. The Betty surname came from "Boop oop a Doop" a film who converted Betty in a star. Max Fleyser saw in Betty a real gold mine. Her innocence and sensuality turned Betty in one of the first characters of a sexy woman in cartoons. Betty was an independent and sexy woman, and that was a novelty. Before Betty, when a sexy woman appeared in a cartoon, it was in reality a man in disguise. The sensual voice of Betty was of the actress Mae Quest. Betty Boop cartoons included big stars of Jazz as the bands of Louis Armstrong or Rudy Vallee. In 1940 the members of USA armed forces used to read her cartoons, and watched her films in their barracks. There were a big amount of planes with the name and face of Betty Boop painted over them. So Betty Boop became the bride of America. Betty Boop is the origin of many sexy stereotypes like the waitress, baby-sitter, teacher... But the best of Betty is her wit and tenderness, that makes her to be remembered until our days.

"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Lying close to you feeling your heart beating And I'm wondering what you're dreaming Wondering if its me you're seeing Then I kiss your eyes And thank God were together I just want to stay with you in this moment forever Forever and ever Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing I don't want to miss one smile I don't want to miss one kiss I just want to be with you Right here with you, just like this I just want to hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine And just stay here in this moment For all the rest of time Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep I don't want to miss a thing" -lyrics of the original song- This song is by Aerosmith, and you can find it in their live album "Rockin' the Joint". It was part of the soundtrack of the movie Armageddon. When Liv Tyler, the daughter of Steven Tyler (the Aerosmith singer), got a part in the film, Aerosmith decided to record this song. The movie is starring Bruce Willis (where he saves the world one more time!!!) .
