The Birth of a Toon!

Betty was born (okay drawn) in 1995 when comedic writer Christine Blosdale needed a character to use while writing her humorous music reviews. The name was easy enough, since a Betty is someone who has the three C’s...she/he must be confident, classy and cool ...

But a swingin' body was still needed to match Betty’s vampy personality. Coming to the rescue was the talented Howard Baker (Aeon Flux, Hercules) who drew the character after reading one of Betty’s columns.

Soon after her birth, Betty began writing her own spin on the world of entertainment called The Daily Fix for America Online which earned her a nomination for Best Daily Feature in AOL’s Member’s Choice Awards. Her venomous writing style also earned Betty a nomination for the 1997 Music Journalism Awards as Music Journalist of The Year.

Since her humble beginnings, Betty's gone on to write for snappy publications like Hollywood.com, FashionTrip.com, Bent Magazine, L.A. Times’ Calendar Live.com, Buzz Magazine, BAM, The Female FYI, XSeSS Living and The Advocate.

Heck, she even hosted her own LIVE movie chat on Yahoo.com! She's also been praised with plenty of press including Entertainment Weekly, The Internet Cool Guide, Checkout.com, Twist Magazine and Teen Celebrity.

What does the future hold for BeatBoxBetty?

Betty may have placed her pumps firmly on the Internet as the saucy Tinseltown toon who chats with the stars and dishes out brutally honest movie reviews, but it's the wonderful world of TV where she really wants to call home.

Currently, she's entertaining visions of taking over Hollywood in an animated sitcom based on her wild showbiz adventures. Just think "The Critic" with curves!

Of course, that means she's pitching the show to anyone interested, so if you happen to be a high powered development executive who’s looking for the next hit animation empire, please contact Christine at BtBoxBty@aol.com.
