Hello Kitty USB & Speakers

2006-06-10T17:29:00.000-03:00

When I was in highschool we used to use those 3 1/2" floppies to transfer our files from school to home. Now we have all moved on to larger movable storage options like CD-ROMS but they're not always the best option because of size and fragility. USB drives are often a better choice and of course Sanrio has anticipated that we couldn't just use any plain old USB stick...

Hello Kitty USB Key (512mb)

"The Hello Kitty drive from IO Data is a 512mb USB drive. It has an integrated light that is illuminated when plugged-in. It also has an attached sliding cover, which is convenient because it's impossible to lose and it keeps the USB connector clean. Of course the highlight of this drive is the Hello Kitty logo. Five thousand pieces will be produced."

$149.00

Hello Kitty USB 2.0/1.1 Flash Memory Stick (256MB)

$42.00

Spectra Hello Kitty Multimedia Flat Panel Speakers

These speakers aren't nearly as cool (IMO) as these flashing speakers but they are significantly cheaper.

" -Fits almost anywhere with an ultra slim space-saving design

-Attach the lightweight portable speakers with easy-to-install instructions

-Hear great sound with the patented NXT/Slab Flat Speaker Technology

-Powerful sound components include a Polypropylene Sound Panel and Neodymium Magnets

Chinese-style Kitty to appear next month

Unfortunately no pictures that I could find.

(From Shanghai Daily)

Chinese-style Kitty to appear next month
Winny Wang
2006-06-06
FANS of Hello Kitty can buy the first Chinese-style Kitty next month, which embodies different elements of cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, Oriental Morning Post reported today.

The new Kitty dolls is designed after seven mainland folkways: visiting the Yu Garden and selling soup dumplings, carrying a hairy crab on head, selling Beijing roasted duck, wearing clothes like "snake woman" Bai Suzhen and ancient hero Yue Fei, according to Hangzhou Kawayi Ka Tong Yi Shu Co., the designer.

Junji Sasaki, the chairman of the company said it has the approval from Sanrio Co., the manufacturer of the original Hello Kitty dolls, to design the Chinese-style doll.

They will be sold as mobile phone accessories at first, the company said.

Besides the original Hello Kitty, many cities and companies have their own version of the doll in Japan, totaling 100,000 different models. Sasaki said.

"Hello Kitty will be more popular in China after combining with local culture," he said.

The company will promote more dolls later on, like a Hello Kitty practicing shadowboxing and selling Sichuan hotpot.

Irish Dresden Hello Kitty Limited Edition Porcelain Figurine

2006-06-05T19:37:00.000-03:00

Sanrio and Irish Dresden announced on June 5 that in November, Irish Dresden would produce a Limited Edition Porcelain Figurine of Hello Kitty. It is the first time that a Hello Kitty doll will be made from porcelain. Two thousand figurines are to be produced at 49,900 Yen each.

A little bit about Irish Dresden:
http://www.hoi.ie/porcelai/dresden.htm

"In 1962, the factory now known as 'Irish Dresden' was established at Dromcolliher, County Limerick. The process had begun of establishing in Ireland the traditions and skills of fine lace porcelain manufacture, previously to be found only in Theuringia. In 1968 tragedy struck with the untimely death of co-founder Oskar Saar. The family tradition survived however, and Irish Dresden, now run by Johanna Saar and her daughter Sabina, continues to produce magnificent porcelain figures and other fine porcelain giftware under the original stamp of 'Muller - Volkstedt'."

Hong Kong's Dah Sing Bank offers six designs of their Hello Kitty Visa cards (regular Visas up to Gold and Platinum) including the "new '70's vintage' thermo chromic" card which changes colour as it heats up. Not only that, but they also offer cheques:

and also something called a "personalized Octopus Card" (??), a "Smile Club" which offers rewards and benefits such as the Sanrio Japan Exhibition and Hello Kitty trip to Japan with Egl Tours. Those who have a successfull application on or before August 30 receive welcome gifts like HK Water Dispenser, phone or vacuum.

• Features reverse stitch for reinforcing seams, easy lay-in threading system and 4-point feed-dog system to keep fabric feeding straight
• Has a free-arm design for sewing hard-to-reach areas, a handle for simple moving from room to room and a snap-on foot system
• Made of high-impact ABS resin; UL listed
• 10Hx5.62Wx12.75L"

Whatever that means.

There's also this cheaper version described as ".. Great first sewing machine for budding dressmakers.." i.e. children or idiots like myself. Personally, I like the second one better. Less buttons.

Hello Kitty releases new line of cosmetics

2006-05-20T00:01:00.000-03:00

I wonder if it's similar to some Hello Kitty lipgloss I got for Christmas. Absolutely the most awful smelling, foul tasting lipgloss ever.

"..In Taiwan, San Fang Enterprise last year introduced Hello Kitty cosmetic merchandise at all Sanrio boutiques. "Every item was sold," said a marketing executive. "We believe Taiwan's Hello Kitty fans will love this collection as well."

The second cosmetic line includes lip palette, lip gloss, lip balm, eye shadow, mascara, nail color, and perfume. The lip gloss is encased in a tube or a stick with a miniature Hello Kitty figurine on its crown. The versatile feline is dressed in various costumes from an Egyptian princess and a hula dancer to a witch and a belly dancer. Each item retails for NT$199, the company said.

There are an estimated 50,000 assorted Hello Kitty items worldwide."

I have my work cut out for me I see.

HK Dog Sweater? Apron? Cape?

I'm not sure, but this poor dog looks awfully depressed..

Or maybe just resigned?

Hello Kitty Beaujolais Villages Nouveau 2005

2006-05-19T00:58:00.000-03:00

Wine?? Really??

It's hard to tell with auto-translation if this is actually real wine or just fruit juice. I don't drink wine so I have no idea. The translation calls it:

"Fruit wine / France / Burgundy / Beaujolais / red / 750ml"

So I guess it is then? Excuse me while I collapse in laughter.

Toilet Paper. Yes, really.

2006-05-18T23:34:00.000-03:00

I'm not sure what to say so I'll let J-List say it for me:

"Another alternate Hello Kitty toilet paper design from Sanrio, this is perfect for both fans of Kitty-chan and Kitty-haters. Features Kitty sitting in a jungle, crowned with a crown of flowers. The toilet paper is printed with designs of Kitty herself. This is such a wonderful item, even the toilet paper itself features images of Kitty printed on it. We recommend
this bizarre and fun item for anyone who loves, or hates, Hello Kitty. It makes a unique gift and a great display item as well!"

Apparently it's in stock so we can all relax.

$4.00US

Hello Kitty Mink Keyholder

2006-05-18T02:58:00.000-03:00

Okay, this is just hilarious.

"In the buckle of Kitty which inlays [suwarohusukikurisutaru]
Keyholder
which attaches MINK TAIL.
Color of MINK and [suwarohusukikurisutaru] of the
ribbon of Kitty have become the same color.
Attaching to belt loop and BAG
and/or etc with, enjoying with original arrangement!
On back, the hallmark
entering of ASH and Kitty."

I'll take a wild stab in the dark and guess that "suwarohusukikurisutaru" is swarovski crystals. I can see Kimora Lee Simmons sporting this.

Hello Kitty Shaped Cake Maker

These look as if they're made of plastic? I can't tell exactly and site's description doesn't say. They are cute though.

Are you getting tired of me describing everything as cute? What else can you say when talking about Hello Kitty?

Hello Kitty Cellphone Jewelry

2006-05-16T21:09:00.000-03:00

I came across this by accident:

Cute, no? Called "Dfeel Jewel for Cellphone", it seems to just peel and stick on to the back of your phone. I wonder about durability and how strong the adhesion is, though.

I didn't realize until I started this blog the sheer amount of Hello Kitty merchandise there is available. So I decided that I'll break it down into sections of what's available for different rooms and purposes. So, you want to add some Hello Kitty to your kitchen. Where to start? Well, first of all you'll need a fridge:

How about some toast:

A little larger oven:

I love waffles:

I'm in the mood for a sandwich:

Rice is always filling:

The mysterious and impossible to find microwave oven:

Let's wash all of this down with some coffee:

As you can see, I could go on and on. I'll post tomorrow about other things you can buy for your kitchen. ♥

Hello Kitty Digital Camera Xacti

2006-05-14T22:53:00.000-03:00

I have a Hello Kitty Digital Camera (this one actually) and while it is cheap and cute, it's not for someone who needs a decent digital camera that actually takes good pictures. I was roaming around Sanrio's Japanese Shop and found this:

Now I'm admittedly no digital camera aficionado, this looks a lot better than mine.

From the description:

* Effective picture prime 6,000,000 pixel!
* Large picture 3.0
type liquid crystal monitor
* Touch focusing function
☆36 divided multiple display function

I have to include the auto-translated engrish:

"Clearly & clear 6,000,000 pixel! While using the digital camera
"Xacti" of the kitty and looking at the selfish [batsugun] ♪ large picture, it
just touches the shutter button it loads also the touch focusing function where
focus is agreeable* As for the clean photograph, the expectation where also the
burning increasing to the friend rejoices!"

Momoberry by Sanrio

2006-05-13T22:31:00.000-03:00

Description from the website:

"Momoberry is Hello Kitty with a twist - breezy, quirky, stylish, a little older, surprisingly sophisticated and of course very pink. Our new store from Sanrio features accessories, clothing, fragrances, cool collections from great designers, plus Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters on products you won't find anywhere else."

Apparently more expensive than average Sanrio merchandise. I really like the tableware. ♥

Located on the 8th floor of the Beverly Center Mall in Los Angeles, CA. (I wish I could visit!)

Charmmy Kitty Pleasure Set

2006-05-12T22:39:00.000-03:00

Ah Bento. The Japanese have elevated the simple "packed lunch" into something with tasty varied mini meals with, of course, impeccable presentation. You can't just slap a PB&J in tupperware container in Japan or you'll be shot (probably not). So if you want to elevate your packed lunch from "blah" to "awww!" then check out this from Sanrio Japan Yahoo Store:

The translated description:

"The convenience point and are the [ri], is ill-smelling the ♪ cushion being effective, it is set of the insulated bag where the aluminum evaporation is attached on the lunch container Ooturu small, inside where the divider which is convenient to the leisure seat, the insulated tray & the quantity attaching which with the [dekoboko] land do not become matter of concern is attached. Now also picnic rises and is not wrong large!!"

I don't know either, but I love engrish.

Tink Pink!

2006-05-07T19:05:00.000-03:00

Very pricy, but I love the card case! I'm not sure how you would use the pen though. It seems like it would be uncomfortable. ^_^

From Sanrio's shop:
"Take care of business with style and a smile! This exclusive business card case was created by Japanese designer Ayano Fukuoji as part of her limited edition "tink pink Hello Kitty" collection. Delicately lined with Swarovski crystals, this sparkling brass case holds 15 cards."

At $250.00US I doubt I'll be buying it myself but maybe someone can buy it for me for my birthday? *hint* *hint*
