It has been a while since I had been shopping for kitty items, I had a little extra for selling on EBay and I was open to buy a few cheap items. Normally on Saturdays I do the Estate to EBay thing, like any fan I check Craigslist to see if any garage sales have any Hello Kitty items; one popped up so I added the sale to my route.
Last week, I packed up Big Kitty (it her turn to ride shotgun for the month) and found the Hello Kitty sale and pick a few sheets of stickers and a grab bag with a pin, looks like the Los Vegas version. I had to cut G-sale short so I could attend little fur meet Pioneer Place a down town mall, a fur meet is where we get together and share what is going on in our lives and a little art. Sometime we would go to a movie or go out to a meal. One of a good friend, knowing how much I like Hello Kitty gave me a Hello Kitty antenna ball. Unfortunately it was lost today when I brushed against a tree branch.
After the meet I checkout the down town Sanrio store and picked up a 10.00 grab bag, I got a bracelet, charm, a cup and bowl set , a Chococat purse and Panaappe purse wallet. I was hoping for plushies, trinkets and stickers. Still I got my money’s worth.
This week G-sale trip I decided to check out some new territory for me, Vancouver Saturday, Friday I stuck local and picked up this bag. I am using and hope some do not get the wrong idea. Personally I do not; I am a free spirit.
Saturday in Vancouver was a bust, I head home around 3PM and stopped over Sanrio grand opening and picked up some free paper fans and did the obligatory picture with Hello Kitty.
This brings a dilemma being a hello Kitty male fan: while Sanrio is mainly feminine there are many items like my bedding, car accessories and plushies I can have, collect and use, but there are things like women clothing and accessories I have no use or can not use because I am a male. Some because of function other simple it is physically impossible as a guy. A HK purse just will not work for me except to collect other example I can think of a few others like women panties, and um ah…. The (can’t mention this Sanrio product). Oh well I have some nice items for a swap at Hello Kitty Junkies.

Being a girl, I’ve never had a dilemma like that with Hello Kitty… but I believe they could release some more HK products for the guy fans out there.
Those are some awesome things you bought - Big Kitty is cool. x)

I am a happily married man, and I love Hello Kitty. Not long after I met my now wife, I decided to surprise her with a matching (one for me, one for her) set of Hello Kitty clothing (cute shirt and shorts) when I came to visit her in China. It was just for fun at the time, but since then I have really come to love Hello Kitty (even more than my wife!). As you know, being a guy, it’s hard to find Hello Kitty things that work for us. But, whenever we go shopping, I always ask my wife if we can stop by the “Hello Kitty section” of the store (if there is one) and I try to find clothing that fits me. Sometimes I am lucky and am able to find the XL (women’s) size and that usually fits me. My wife has been extremely supportive with my love for HK which I am very grateful for.
It’s nice to know there are other guys out there that love the kitty.
