Hello Kitty, goodbye sanity

Vervain — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 13:44:33 -0800

We've discussed the omnipresent nature of Hello Kitty before. She has aliens for allies, her own MMORPG, and even a banking empire. But what about the havoc that can be wreaked when fandoms collide? If Sanrio-meets-Star-Wars doesn't make your brain hurt, how about the thought of packing some Hello Kitty heat? Or maybe...maybe you're a fan. Maybe visiting Puroland--Hello Kitty's theme park--appeals to you. Oh, it does? Then you'll be happy to hear that Puroland does weddings, too[Youtube].

Gentle? Oh no, not when you forgot about Fender Hello Kitty! Just kidding. Nice job.

The Hello Kitty tooth shown in one of the links is pretty clever/disturbing.

See kids? If they had brushed more, they wouldn't need to house a cat in their mouth.

Whoops, sorry. Didn't see it. I was a bit over excited about Hello Vader : ).

In case the Hello Kitty marriage doesn't work out, you can always try to find a deadstock Hello Kitty "massager" to keep you warm at night.

Somehow I want to be shot with a Hello Kitty gun even less than I want to be shot with another type of gun, even a regular pastel teal or pink gun or even a gun featuring another creepy animated character. A Snork gun would be preferable, in fact.

Yes, it's a Hello Kitty Sex Toy. They also have condoms.

Hello Kitty has no mouth, but she must scream. That is why her head is so big.

You guys blew it on the sex toy links. At least one should have been, "This Hello Kitty, it vibrates?".

The Misadventures of Hello Cthulhu.

OMG I have never wanted a gun before.... Seriously though, non-Kitty people are always shocked and bewildered by the array of stuff you can get. About 6 months ago somebody showed me the Hello Kitty calculator they'd gotten in Hong Kong. I countered with a Chococat compact, tucked into a Chococat makeup bag. *ahem*. And don't forget, there are Hello Kitty Sake sets! It must surely be possible to out-Kitty me. But I've yet to see an adult try it. I'm pretty sure it would involve having Hello Kitty Netsuke.

Mitsubishi also has a Hello Kitty edition car. You can probably feel your testosterone levels dropping as soon as you enter that vehicle.

I'm pretty sure this variation on the theme doesn't have the Sanrio seal of approval.

By: Vervain

Vervain — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:45:50 -0800

Wow. I really, truly thought I could no longer be surprised by anything Sanrio makes, but the Hello Kitty egg shaper is blowing my mind. I want one bad. And the kitty bento lunch...damn, I don't know whether to admire the artistry of the presentation or be deeply disturbed by the Hello Kitty head crafted out of seaweed.

fourcheesemac : "Yes, it's a Hello Kitty Sex Toy." No, it's a My Melody Sex Toy, but same company, same art style, so it's easily confusable.

Puh-leeze. If you're going to do Hello Kitty, do her right. (I understand that those paintings are for sale, in case you want to delight your friends or scare your children). And, if you still think you're not cool enough, get the tattoo while you're at it.

damn you, ilsa! i want geishabot's strawberry-scented life! (or at least her happy lunches) I can't recall where the link is to the Hello Kitty x-ray art, but if I could, I'd link it here. (it was from the artist who did one panel normal, one panel x-ray, of HK, Powerpuff Girls, and others)

Did I miss it or was the alt.sex.hello-kitty not mentioned? If not, I present the faq for your great amusement.

Not that anyone is still looking at this thread, but I found the link of Hello Kitty's skeleton that I mentioned above.
