Straw Hat – Betty Boop

$10.00

This Betty Boop -one size fits most – straw hat is a hit at the beach or on the golf course.

Betty Boop is known as the first and one of the most famous sex symbols on the animated screen;[ she was a symbol of the Depression era, a reminder of the more carefree days of Jazz Age flappers. Her popularity was drawn largely from adult audiences, and the cartoons, while seemingly surrealistic, contained many sexual/psychological elements, particularly in the “Talkartoon”, Minnie the Moocher, featuring Cab Calloway and his orchestra. Minnie the Moocher is perhaps the one cartoon that defined Betty’s character as a teenager of a modern era at odds with the old world ways of her parents
