hello, kitty, again

hello, kitty, again 05/14/2004 10:37 PM
JANE PINCKARD -- The market for cute is, apparently, bottomless, especially in Japan. Are there really that many female teenagers? Or do the adults there also have a cute fetish? These are questions for another time - but for now, while it won't support your limited edition Hello Kitty Dreamcast,...

There's more than one way to skin a cat, according to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. He admitted in a 1989 book, Tra nsplant, that he routinely adopted shelter cats under false pretenses so he could sharp en his surgical skills. (04-26)

If you have a cat, you'll recognize many of these immediately. Although some of them are availiable in a book< /a>, many of these have only appeared in the comic so far. Luckily, someone with far more spare time than I have has collected them for our enjoyment.

Hello Kitty says, "Hello Blosxom"

Hello Kitty says, "Hello Blosxom" 12/17/2004 06:28 PM
Hello Kitty has a blog. Ms. Kitty blogs (in Japanese, of course), moblogs, links to her friends, writes of her latest jewelry likes and dislikes, and so on--just like any other blogger worth their salt ;-).

As if that weren't enough, Jo i Ito pinged me when he noticed that the blog, a joint Sanrio/NTT Data project, is running on Blosxom. Take a gander at the RSS output at http://diary.hello kitty.ne.jp/blog/index.rss:

Hello Kitty Robot

Hello Kitty Robot 07/12/2004 08:52 AM

I know that Sanrio's Hello Kitty is sort of hackneyed, but it's hard not to appreciate the sheer force of an entity that has for thirty years been the centerpiece of a full-on marketing onslaught -- especially one so free from use or meaning. Hello Kitty is marketing Zen, or maybe the lightless black hole of product development. If you gaze into Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty gazes also into you.

So to celebrate three decades of soul-sucking kawaii frenzy, Sanrio has developed, among other products, a $3,700 Hello Kitty Robot. I know! Come inside to find out the details, and we'll giggle and clap and jump together.

Hello Kitty Guitar

Hello Kitty Guitar 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Although this Hello Kitty guitar is about four times the price of what I'd actually want to pay for it... hey, Hello Kitty guitar! The Fernandez-made electric has a built-in speaker and amplifier so you can plug a headphone right in and start writing your ode to ultimate adorability. And while the polka dot version is shown here, there is apparently a matching sparkly pink version the guy selling these can get a hold of. Now we're talking something worth $400.

What acolyte of rock wouldn't be proud to walk through a smokey club with a matching pink gig bag? None I would prefer to rock to, that's for sure.

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Headset

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Headset 09/22/2004 08:38 AM

Not one, but two Hello Kitty cellphone peripherals in one day? Be still my heart! The first is from Expansys and is a Bluetooth headset, but not the clip-over-the-ear kind, but the kind you keep in a pocket and then use a corded earpiece with (read: sort of pointless). The other looks quite a bit the same as the first (although it's hard to tell exactly from the tiny picture) but comes in a gift box with what looks like a charger or a in-car unit or something. Oh, and it's white, which means it's designed to compliment Hello Kitty evening wear.

Hello Kitty Desktop Vacuum 08/16/2004 12:41 PM

I would have posted this up about 5 minutes before now, but I noticed they only had three more in stock, so I thought I should get there before you punks. Because lord knows, there's nothing that goes together more sweetly than a distended Hello Kitty head and a light, battery-powered sucking force. And for $10, even! If this thing moves itself around by itself - something that I'm sad to say probably isn't the case - I would buy 24 of them and set them loose around the house. It'd be cheaper than a Roomba and at least 24 times as cute.

Also, have you noticed people saying kawaii a lot lately, too? I doubt they are doing the clap and giggle. You gotta do the clap and giggle.

Hello Kitty insect repellant bracelet

Hello Kitty insect repellant bracelet 04/13/2005 03:19 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Sid, who blogs Winkie, lives in Tokyo. Yesterday, he got a press release for a Hello Kitty branded insect repellent pendant, designed to be worn on the wrist or around the neck. The press release has lots of great janglish:

It is good feeling to have a food outside. But, it is bad if unpleasant bugs come. So, now a handy bug repellent with no smell gets popular.

The press release also cautions journalists not to imply that the pendant actually does the thing it is advertised to do:

We appreciate your corporation that the word such as "repellent" and "repel unpleasant bugs", etc. can be used on publicity, but the word or wording that imply "Effective for mosquitoes" or "itchy" and "mosquito", etc. cannot be used. A conventional repellent is registered with pharmaceutical product and/or quasi-pharmaceutical product. However, this product is not yet registered as a wording of "Effective for mosquito", etc. cannot be used.
