This photo shows a group of Betty Boop lookalikes auditioning for spots in a performing and recording act called the Betty Boopers, which was produced by Beso Entertainment Studios. Only four spots were available to the dozen or so applicants. The audition took place in New York City on February 13, 1998, in order to commemorate Valentine’s Day, which is supposedly Betty’s birthday as well as her favorite holiday. As we can see, the women each took a slightly different approach to approaching Betty’s signature look. A life-sized statue of Betty Boop stands behind the group of lookalikes.
