Kristy Chong
According to urban legend, during the Great Depression, it is said that Betty Boop brainwashed young men in their sleep with scenes of her singing, and dancing. Every morning at 6:58 the men would awake confused and delirious.
For Mae Questel “the original Betty”
Kristy Chong is a Korean American artist who attends the University of Delaware for Fine Arts and English. She was born in Baltimore, Maryland and lived in Singapore for four years from 20052009. Boop Dreams was inspired from Chong’s imaginative love for 1930’s film and Betty Boop’s unique mix of innocence and bold cartoon sensuality. Betty’s sassy independence and humor in her fatale feministic persona made her a glamorous icon throughout the Depression Era. This is Chong’s first published photo book.
