Just recently my files were hacked into from all of my sites with all my rare recordings and images deleted from over 9 years of collecting online. I have been battling these creeps for years and I really thought they had won this time. I was very close to saying goodbye to Bootleg Betty because I didn’t think I had the willpower to start all over.
Well, as luck would have it, my very talented partner and my new roomie, Max, are both technical whizzes and were able to recover everything, but it has been a long and tedious process. Please bear with me during this next month as I try to pull my royal shit together and get things organized and labeled again. This means the music sections and the animations may be delayed for awhile, but that’s better than everything being lost. I’m very sorry this had to happen and I’m even more sorry that there are such malicious people out there with nothing better to do than destroy one’ s hard work. In this case, one’s shared work.
So please be patient. I have tons of unmarked images and music files to go through and identify, plus trying to keep this old machine of a girl, BLB going at the same time. Thanks in advance for your support.
Love, Mister D
Don– sorry the hackers got your files, but delighted you recovered them. Please know how much we appreciate your site and visit it every day. Thanks for all your efforts. Don’t let the bullies win!

Thanks so much for the support Shelly. They haven’t won and never will. This happened a week ago and I’m going strong. It will just slow down some things for awhile. If everybody can be patient with the music we’ll all be fine….Love, D

Thank you so much for your positive spirit….that’s probably what they ran into….:-)
Mister D. Though I have been familiar with your site and would look on it periodically – I have to say – I have really been missing out on all of the great Bette updates all these many years. You have the most well documented, timely site that is dedicated to all things of the Divine Ms. M. that any true BetteHeads should or would ever need. Keep up the good work and the best way to beat these jerks as to keep existing! Good for you!!! Kudos to you and your friend for keeping the faith. Julie (aka Divine “01) Keller
Julie…that means a lot. Thanks for the support….Love, D
