How to Bring Bettie to Life (Mini Guide)

1. Wardrobe: Start with a 1950s silhouette, then add punk accessories — harnesses, safety pins, metallic accents.
2. Makeup: Winged liner, matte red lips, slightly exaggerated lashes. One deliberate smudge for attitude.
3. Props & Set: Retro household items recolored or repurposed; neon or low-wattage bulbs for moody light.
4. Music & Movement: Mix vintage tracks with modern beats; choreograph pauses that let the audience’s imagination fill the gaps.
5. Copy & Tagline: Use short, punchy lines — the quoted phrase as a hook, paired with cheeky subtext like “Exit the expected.”
