Just when we thought we couldn't get more excited about BOOP! the Musical... this amazing video shows up on YouTube featuring Jasmine Amy Rogers (a.k.a. Betty Boop) singing "Where I Wanna to Be" in a recording session with composer David Foster!
With just hours to go before our first preview... we're thrilled to share an inside look at BOOP! the Musical!
The people at PBS took this story seriously and we couldn't be more grateful. We know that this story touches on subjects that feel particularly thorny right now and we hope that this course correction will move us toward a fuller and more nuanced understanding of this pivotal period in our country's history; one that continues to resonate and influence us to this day.

Check out this amazing and informative short film from the folks at VOX. Hosted by Phil Edwards, this episode of Vox Almanac features one of Max Fleischer's best known inventions, the rotoscope.

This month, Cosmo online featured drag queen Blair Bitch's "Betty Boop inspired" transformation - complete with the most remarkable inflatable wig we've ever seen - and we just couldn't wait to share it with you!

A great reminder that any time is the right time to get your Betty Boop on!

Clark Kent transformed into Superman in a phone booth for the very first time in "The Mechanical Monster." This, of course, would go on to become a central feature of the Superman mythology.
