Lyrics:

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you.

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you.

O God, please guide me, protect me, illumine the lamp of my heart and make me a brilliant star. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you.

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in to see you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true.

What’s in the Attic?
by Linda Hamer Kennett
(reprinted with permission)

With a body modeled after May West and an attitude to rival Madonna’s, she has evolved into a cult figure with thousands of fans world wide. Although only a cartoon character, her obvious sensuality and her “I can do anything a man can do” approach to life, have earned her as loyal a group of fans, as any flesh and blood woman. This year she celebrates her 80th birthday, and she is still going strong. She is the incomparable Betty Boop.

Betty started life as a dog type character with a human body in the 1930?s film “Dirty Dishes”. Created by Max Fleischer with the help of animator Grim Natiwck, she was originally intended to be the love interest of Bimbo, the lead dog in the Talkartoons cartoon series. Bimbo met with moderate success, but the public instantly fell in love with the nameless little girl/dog. Within a year she had evolved from semi-canine to full human form and was given the name Betty Boop. In early 1931, with her new name and an ever growing audience, she appeared briefly in the film “Kitty From Kansas City”. Later that year in “Silly Scandals” she delighted audiences with her rendition of “You’re driving Me Crazy”, during which her blouse kept slipping down revealing a frilly bra underneath. Her next release “Ups and Downs” pushed the boundaries of good taste even further containing a scene with her dress blowing up. This scene would be recreated many years later by another famous screen vixen, Marilyn Monroe, in “The Seven Year Itch”.

Created at the very end of the “Roaring 20?s”, Betty’s risqué nature was generally accepted by an American public that was relatively uninhibited about sexuality. Her cartoons were geared to an adult audience and as a result were rather explicit, especially in the early years. Interaction between her character and the male leads in her films was suggestive, to say the least, and on more that one occasion her catch phrase “Boop-oop-a-doop” could be interpreted to be more than just scatty nonsense. From 1930-1934 she was a top box-office draw, but as the moral attitude in America shifted, Betty found her self on shaky ground.

In the mid 1930?s women’s clubs, church organizations, and various reform groups began organizing demonstrations at theaters across the country, calling for censorship of Hollywood films. With Will Hays, the head of the Motion Picture Producers and Directors Association, as their spokesperson, studios were held to new standards of decency. Under the guidelines of the “Picture Producer’s and Distributor’s Code” and the “Hays Act of 1935? heavy fines were levied against studio that did not comply. In addition Hays created the “Purity Seal” . Movies that did not qualify for this stamp of approval were not allowed to be shown in PPDA-affiliated theatres, which most major theatres were.

Betty Boop received a complete makeover. Her wardrobe was altered to skirts that reached below her knees and shirts that fully covered her cleavage. No more clothing that slipped off or back lighting to expose her ample silhouette. Films from 1935 forward saw her as a baby sitter, teacher or housewife. Gone were the great jazz songs of the 1930?s that had been the back drop for many of the early films, removed due to their questionable lyrics. The surrealism of “Minnie the Moocher” and “Snow White” was replaced with story lines about Betty and her new pet monkey. In fact, by the time the censors finished, Betty was all but unrecognizable and the public gradually lost interest in her films. After appearing in “Yip, Yip, Yippy” in 1939 Betty Boop retired. In the nine short years of her career she had worked with such greats as Rudy Vallee, Cab Calloway, Don Redman and Louis Armstrong and appeared in over 100 animated features

The risqué little girl with an air of innocence still enjoys a following of loyal fans who are willing to pay top dollar for authentic 1930?s Betty Boop memorabilia. Recent auction results include results include a string holder for $250, a celluloid bobble-head Betty for $450, a twelve inch chalk carnival figure for $1,994 and a linen-matted 1930?s Paramount movie poster for a whopping $7,455. Now that’s a lot of Boop-Oop-A-Doop! Until next time………Linda

Finding the perfect gift for a miniature enthusiast does not have to be as difficult as you might think. Picking your way through the myriad of possibilities can be a bit daunting to those who are not familiar with the world of miniature collectibles. Armed with a little bit of information and the right questions though, you should be able to find a piece that will be the ideal complement to the dollhouse décor your collector has created.

The most obvious way to find out what they may want is simply to ask, although this method takes away any element of surprise that you may have hoped to maintain. You can find out details by asking some innocent questions that will seem like idle curiosity. The answers to these innocent questions will give you the ammunition that you need to find the perfect gift. Ask about their collection. They will most likely be excited to tell you about it and, with a little prodding, will likely tell you exactly what they are hoping to add to it in the future. Make sure that you casually ask about scale as well, as this will help you make sure that you get the right size piece for their miniature rooms.

As with any gift, it will mean more if there is some shared sentimentality to it. If you can, find a miniature piece that is representative of some shared experience that you may have had. Then the gift will be appreciated on several different levels. It could be commemorative of some serious or life changing experience that you had, or it could be reminiscent of some humorous occasion that you enjoyed together. You may be fortunate enough to find a miniature recreation of a person that you know in common. It could be a representation of a relative or the collector herself. It may be especially meaningful if the miniature is a representation of you.

Some collectors tend to fashion their miniature dollhouse collection around a theme or with a certain style in mind. Try to choose a piece that won’t clash with the rooms or the current décor of the dollhouse. While people always like to receive gifts, if the piece you chose doesn’t fit with the dollhouse collection of the individual, they may not be able to display your gift.

Some individuals treat each piece of a dollhouse as a work of art and display their items outside the dollhouse setting. For these enthusiasts, they consider each item special and are usually happy with any piece they receive as a gift. A good idea is to find out the name of their favorite artisan and buy a piece to add to the collection. Most collectible enthusiasts are very quick to let you know whose work they prefer best, as well as which item would be a cherished addition to their set.
