Moments like this didn’t happen often and the doe-eyed, bronze-skinned beauty couldn’t be more excited. It was finally time for her to be reintroduced to the world, in all of her unique splendor. She gave herself a once-over in the mirror and was satisfied with the decision to wear a little black dress, as opposed to her signature red. With both her curls and her signature garter in place, she was more confident in herself than she’d ever been. For too long, women had been told to decrease their volume and play supporting roles, but Betty was too remarkable for that. She’d always been a girl whose being sparked passionate conversations. And, the more she remained a mystery, the more people wanted to know. She was both beautiful and brilliant, fierce and divinely feminine. Being a woman was her favorite pastime and she did it well, and as she stood at the brink of this new beginning - she’d only just begun.
