May 10, 2005 -- Jump-start your rocker because old age rocks, according to Betty Perry, American comedienne and familiar face of many commercials, whose latest venture is a new line of greeting cards, The Betty Perry Collection. If happiness is the best cosmetic for beauty, then botox has nothing on the view Betty Perry presents in her greeting cards premiering at the National Stationery Show in New York, May 15-18. This grandmother is in lace, but add to that black leather, coral satin, and brighter threads than a flock of jungle parrots. The joy flows from within, and whereas Thank You, Get Well and Happy Birthday have been said before, not like this. Wild, whacky, uplifting, inspiring – the best is timeless. “There are no wrinkles on my soul,” Perry says.
“ There are no wrinkles on my soul ”
The Betty Perry Collection greeting card line was co-founded by two-time Grammy nominee Jan Buckingham. Betty, who beat Roseanne Barr in a comedy competition and has played the Queen Mum for Pepsi among a string of other national and international commercial appearances, is a celebrity beyond age who not only wears red and purple, but every conceivable color and expression, and then some. The cards will premiere for new buyers at the 59th National Stationery Show. This year, the annual trade show for the gift and stationery industry held in New York City every May is presenting approximately 1,400 exhibitors. It is the premier market for stationery resources in the United States, running May 15-18 at New York’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
The Show draws 14,000 domestic and international retailers representing department, chain and specialty stores, boutiques, stationery, card and gift shops, bookstores, bridal shops, party stores, hospital gift shops, museum stores, gallery/craft retailers, home furnishings stores, specialty office retailers, floral and garden centers, mass merchandisers, catalogs, on-line retailers, import/export firms, distributors and TV shopping clubs.
Buyers looking for trends and fresh ideas can find the Betty Perry Collection on the second floor, Booth number 3113.
