Hope this doesn’t sound corny….aww heck, if it does, too bad…Just want to give a big hearty thank you to everybody who visits Bootleg Betty and myself on a regular basis. I never knew this place would lead to such a beautiful community of people, but it did, thanks to the Divine Miss M, Bette Midler.
Many of you I’ve come to know through your comments, emails, or through the little chat box on the right hand side of the page. I can’t tell you how great it feels getting to know each one of you and your wonderful, different personalites, your stories, your Smug Mutha stories, your Bette Midler stories, or how you came to love the Divine Miss M. I just enjoy hearing your stories and from you. Many of you touch my heart and many of you make me laugh with your wild and witty ways. I love it all.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much you all mean to me. You bring joy into my life and I hope in some way that I have brought some into yours. Thank you for being here all these years. Here’s hoping for many more to come. I love you all….
Love, Mister D

Thank you Mr. D for such an awesome and beautiful website that you created and I visit daily.

Thank you for your fabulous site Don. Without it I wouldn’t be meeting Leanne and all the other BetteHeads and I probably wouldn’t be a fan of Bette anymore. Bette and your site makes me so happy. Thank you!! You’re incredible!

Thank you Don. When I discovered this website, I found a whole group of people like me – people who love the Divine! I found out that I’m not alone. I look forward to visiting this site every day. Hope you have a wonderful day of rest!

Hey, we should thank you for all the incredible information, stories, song, videos and stuff that you let us know and see about Bette. For some of us it would be impossible to heard or see Bette sogs and videos if it weren´t because of you. So keep on going with this site
Dani!
