Only got one picture from today’s featured Hello Kitty collector, but it is as impressive as all the other ones:

I guess you must be thinking the same thing as me - our collections are all peanuts comparing to all these crazy fans!

Hmm … I notice recently some Hello Kitty products are a little OTT even for me:


I am not a pet person to begin with, the idea of having to service an animal is already overwhelming to me. So to have to stroll a pet around town so "it" does not has to walk is definitely OTT … something isn’t right here.
Oh well, I guess it might work for some people.

Running out of outlets for all your electronic appliances? This cute 6 feet long power extension cord will be the cutest electronic gadgets you can add for your appliances:

It is made and for sale in Taiwan which uses the same type of ‘legs’ as North America, so that means those of us in U.S. and Canada can use it no problem! Hurrrrrray!

Before treating yourself to a nice facial mask, a hot steam treatment can help you to remove some of the dead skin cells on your face so the essence in the facial mask can penetrate deep inside the skin. So, before using the Q10 mask which I have mentioned before, why not try a facial steam mask from this Hello Kitty Face Steamer?

As the Asian said, there is no ugly woman - there’s only lazy woman! Go ahead and treat yourself to a spa treatment from home today : )

In Asia, especially Taiwan, it is very common for ladies to be extra cautious to the exposure of UV rays and some go to the extreme by wearing a pair of gloves while driving.
And of coz to satisfy Hello Kitty fans like us, there is a Hello Kitty version of the ‘hand cover’, in the ever popular Pink shade!
It promises to be ultra thin and breathable so you won’t get hot wearing it. With this kind of cover on, you never have to worry about getting a sun tan watch on your arms!
On a side note, my mom got me something of similar nature from Japan, minus the Hello Kitty, but I am still not "brave" enough to wear that out on the streets! (lol)

Need some good exercise? This Hello Kitty Badminton set will be able to help you sweat a little this long weekend (for most):

I have something similar from the 25th anniversary collection but in baby blue … however, it has been collecting dust since and I still haven’t opened it (and now I feel really bad!)

Since Ethan is sick this past week, his demand for breast milk was up significantly thus my hunger signs rang almost every 2 ~ 3 hours like he demands me every 2~3 hours. So my mouth is watering as soon as I see this picture from an email forward:

Show me the food, NOW!!! hahaha
Have a wonderful weekend everyone : )

Hello Kitty loves dressing up in different costumes, and this time, she is dressing up as other Sanrio characters:



Cute as they are, I still prefer to original Hello Kitty in her red bow : )

Those of you who have attended parties in fancy gowns probably know about this ’strapless’ bra - the Nu Bra. I absolutely loved it no only because it was strapless, it also provide extra "meat" when you need it (i.e. wedding pictures time).
Now the wonderful Nu Bra concept is available in Hello Kitty style with lace details, so you are stylish if the Nu Bra accidentally came into sight! (which happens!)
The Hello Kitty Nu Bra is available in two styles and comes in the three standard cup sizes - A, B, or C.
Tips on getting a Nu Bra - remember to get one cup size smaller than your usual size to get the magic effect! : )

Was checking out sanrio.co.jp and this tote bag caught my eyes:
So cute and so original!!!!
I admit I am hesitant in carry around a Hello Kitty bag at this age (sigh … stepping on to the 3’s in not that many days), but this one looks so elegant it might pass the exception line!
This is how it looks in use:
I dress nothing close to this elegant lady though!!! lol Maybe it will suit me better if it’s 3-4x bigger? : D

I am personally not a fan of videogaming but I notice a lot of people (especially kids) are carrying a NDS or PSP around town these days, including my niece and nephew!
This Hello Kitty NDS stick-on 3 piece skin will make an ordinary NDS perfectly for any Hello Kitty fan:
Available from DreamKitty.com in various designs if anyone is interested in picking one up.

Baby Ethan is running a fever and got really fussy when we tried to measure his temperature with one of the regular ear thermometer. Wonder if the Hello Kitty variety would make any difference?
Going to give him his 2nd dose of medicine in a few minutes, hopefully the fever will go away soon!

Cost cover 1 million Japanese Yen, this super luxury Hello Kitty figure include over 40 pieces of REAL diamonds:
Look at the details:
It’s very stunning but I think if I have a million yen to spare I will probably either put it into my mortgage or treat myself to an ultimate handbag (lol)
Well, as one member puts it, if we can’t own it, looking at the pictures will make us happy nonetheless!

For some unknown reasons the temperature in Toronto has dipped down to the 10’s and 20’s these days, forcing me to pull my Hello Kitty Jackets out from the closet.
Some of my favourites include - a princess look Hello Kitty jacket in beige:

I especially liked the details - a blushing + winking Hello Kitty in the front and Hello Kitty with a crystal crown at the back:

On a cooler day, I will wear this fleece jacket - very simple but keeps me nice and warm:

This was also available in Shocking Pink but YeungBaBa thinks it’s a little too pink (for my age?) so I settled for the dark grey.
For the even colder days, I resort to my Limited Edition Hello Kitty sweater:

It’s about 8 years old now but still in pretty good condition - I loved loved loved it although I think I probably outgrow that jacket (by age, not by size - haha) and should really consider putting that aside some day.
The old saying goes you can put away your winter clothes once you had the Chinese sticky rice dumplings. Well, we had the dumpling earlier this month but it seems like our winter clothes are here to stay for at least another week … sigh!!!

This time Hello Kitty is bringing you to travel around the world:
Not sure how it is played … but it looks just like the Chinese checkers (aka Stern-Halma) except you are hopping Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel instead of little marbles. Sure made me miss the old days when I used to play this game with my siblings!
