All you secret (or not-so-secret) Sanrio fans out there, you can soon say "hi" to a new Hello Kitty cosmetics line from MAC. Debuting on Feb. 10, there will be lipsticks, lip conditioners, and lipglasses — which is a bit odd, since Hello Kitty herself has no mouth to model them — in addition to glittery liners, shimmery shadows, and a whole lot of pink.
If you have some friends who can't get enough of Hello Kitty lamps or tongue-in-cheek embroidered throw pillows when it comes to decorating their homes, don't despair, embrace it! Some of my favorite friends' abodes are peppered with fun accessories from
Kid Robot, Upper Playground, Sanrio, and other hip and youthful stores. Maybe you don't want your pals to take the theme as far as they did at the Hello Kitty gate lounge in Terminal 2 of the Taipei International Airport, but I think some fun, arrested adolescent accents in a home can provide a lovely youthful spirit.
Holy Hello Kitty goodness! This pet house/bed/throne is decorated with 7,600 crystal beads – I'm imagining it took many hours to string all of those up, while I know
North could have them in piles on my floor in less than one. In addition to being v.
Japan and China
reached a deal yesterday about long-disputed gas fields located in the East China Sea. The two countries will share the profitable gas fields; Japan's private sector will invest in Chinese development. Japan's Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda eloquently said: "We will turn it into a sea of peace and friendship."
I'm all about change when it has to do with evolving and improving, but seriously — first
Strawberry Shortcake gets totally transformed (I love Strawberry Shortcake Gen 1 much better), and now Sanrio is coming out with new characters
called Cherinacherine that bear a striking resemblance to Hello Kitty?!
OK, so I've kinda been
slacking in the Hello Kitty department lately, but that doesn't mean Hello Kitty needs some younger and plushier competition! I guess Sanrio will be releasing Cherinacherine bags, toys, cell phone straps and all the other goodies that we'll use to come in HK.
Hello Naughty! Meanwhile, someone's little sister is running around the house looking for her beloved pink blankie. But this will make growing into big sis's hand-me-down clothes not such a drag later on.
Look, I'm not about to tell grown women what they can and can't have on their laptops, so here you go: the
Hello Kitty laptop by Epson. Sure, I might advise you to just put Hello Kitty stickers on your laptop and save the extra money and trouble of buying a new one (although if Sanrio is working with Epson, I'd hope there'd be some sweet games built in at least), but I am officially not judging. After all, I'm finding it slightly more palatable than the
Swarovski crystal-covered Hello Kitty laptop!
Forget
leather and lace — Give to me your Vader, take from me, my Hello Kitty.
