I hear this Facebook place is pretty popular nowadays.

So I was using the Pieces of Flair app and searched for Hello Kitty Online and there were NO RESULTS.    So I used the “Create” feature and put a few different ones together.

…And after that I just… kept making Flair.   All of these images are from SanrioTown’s monthly Downloadables.  I kind of… collect them.

Omg I love this so much.

Hi everyone!  I should totally update this blog more, huh?

Well, I tried out this Puricute place (Noliai mentioned it in an old blog post of hers) and cute-ified a picture of myself!

Yup, that’s me, guys! XD  With tons of added pinkness and sparkles, of course.

Hahaha, don’t worry, I’ll have better blog content coming up… I’d like to review the Tales of Symphonia sequel that was just released, and I always have a ton of art work to share.

Noliai has set up a chat room for SanrioTown users to hang out in and talk about whatever!  Just start it up, and keep the window open and maybe a fellow SanrioTowner will join you~

Ponystars - Raise & Breed Your Own Magic Ponies!

Okay… yes, I really am twenty years old.  But deep down inside, I’m still just a silly little girl that wants to surround herself with cute and pretty things.   I played with My Little Ponies when I was little, and I even remember watching the cartoons!  If you’re like me, then revisit your childhood by playing Ponystars!!

After registering, you can select and customize two horses that will breed and produce your first pony (you do not keep the parents, but the colors you choose for them will influence what yours looks like).  Then, the site gives you a simple tutorial that teaches you how to care for your new pony!

There is a fair bit of customization available for your ponies, but much of it is only available for paying customers…  But, while my ponies may not be as elegant as other users’, I’m still enjoying it.

Here are my ponies~

My first pony!  She is my FAVORITE color!!

This guy was granted to me by fairies, for free, after only a few days of playing, and he even came with this cool striped coat!  I hope that’s not real animal print!

There is also a plot to this game - the Aurora Ponies have gone missing, but there are fairies around to help you find out what happened to them.  This is played out in a simple adventure game, where you select one of your ponies to explore around a grassland area (but you can only move a few spaces every day, so you must be patient in solving the mystery!).

So, wanna give it a try?  It’s free to sign up and get your first pony, so there’s no harm in trying it out~

I don’t know if I’ve said this in this blog before, but… despite all of my girlishness, I am a huge nerd.  Most of my youth was fueled playing video games, and … wait for it … Dungeons & Dragons.  For me, D&D was just “playing pretend” in the form of a board game.

Most people, especially girls, expect D&D to appeal only to loser unattractive nerds.  This book is for those people.

There are a lot of myths when it comes to this game, and just as many myths about the people who play it. Shelly Mazzanoble sets the record straight in this fun guide written by a girlie-girl, for girlie-girls.

The book shares a lot of how D&D works - what it’s like to create your character, the basic rules of play, and what it’s like sitting around a table with your friends discussing the best way to sneak up on a band of kobolds.

The highlight of the book is when the author tricks her friends (all professional working moms) into playing a short campaign with her.  Lots of laughs, not just in their reactions, but in the fact that they did actually enjoy the game.

Read about it on Amazon (and maybe pick up a copy?)

What kind of Pokémon are you, how do you do the things you do?

One of the most beloved mechanics of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games is the personality test at the beginning, which determines the Pokémon you will assume the role of to explore the world and its mysteries.

From Pokémon’s official Web site comes a simulation of the game’s test.

The questions are very original and delve deeper into the personality than, say, “What is your favorite color?”

I’d love to hear the sorts of results you all come up with! :3

 

Bulba, bulba saaaauuurrr!!

I love cute monsters, so I’m greatly looking forward to the Pet system in HKO.

Don’t Eat Any Bugs - I’m not sure why this Web site is called what it is, but it does give you an idea of the sort of zaniness contained within!

 This is the Web site of comic book artist Ray Friesen.  There are books of his that you can buy in the shop on the site, but there are free Webcomics available for sampling as well!  They’re all so funny and cute!

These are the two weekly comics on the site that are shared for free~ Check them out if you want a laugh. (Click the images above to go straight to the first comic in each series!)  I love the happy bright colors of the artwork!

SurLaLune Annotated Fairy Tales - I could spend hours just reading the content of this site!!  This is a database of just about every classic fairy tale you can think of (this page lists all of the stories available on the site).

There are two things that are especially great about the fairy tales here:

•  They are the real versions of the stories, as true to the original version as translation allows, and unmarred by inaccurate perceptions we form after seeing movies or “kid-friendly” alternatives to the stories…
•  They are annotated!  Short notations explain the significance and origins of popular fairytale symbols, such as roses and “once upon a time.”

Furhtermore, after reading your favorite stories (and after discovering some new ones!), the site offers lists of various books that have been published following that fairy tale’s theme.  Want to find a unique hardcover version of Cinderella?  This is where you look!

I also like looking through the Illustration gallery and checking out other artists’ perceptions of these stories that I love.

1001 Fonts is the place to go for downloading fonts.  Several SanrioTown members (most notably Ripplecloud!) love embellishing their HKO screenshots with text, and if that’s something you’d like to try for yourself, then pick up a few fancy typefaces from here!

I’ll share some of my favorites~ (Click their names to go to the download page)

 This is what I use in the headings on my Blog Homepage!

  Cool graffiti font!

  Looks better in larger sizes…

  My favorite for “normal”-looking fonts, without using something boring/overused like ComicSans.

  Another cool “normal” font.  This one is aged-looking. :3

  This reminds me of the title of a classic fairytale, like Alice in Wonderland.  It’s cute for titles and things.

  Who couldn’t love this? XD  Good for funky titles.
