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!)

Need some hydro-therapy for your face in this hot, humid summer days?  Give this Hello Kitty’s Coenzyme Q10 Facial Mask a try!

This Hello Kitty Facial Mask contains CoQ10 which helps to retain moisture to the skin.  It is also proven to help slow the aging process.  It is pre-cut into a face shape and suitable for both male and female users.  

There are also other types of facial masks available to suit your needs and skin types, to check them out, click here (in Chinese).

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 : )

In the mood of looking at nice handbags and tote bags and came across this Hello Kitty by HbG:

Perfectly sized  for a shopping trip at the mall!

There are a few other cute Hello Kitty x HbG items available, see http://hbg-special.seesaa.net/ or http://hellokittyminutiae.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-is-hbg.html for more!

(P.S. I didn’t know much about the HbG brand but after doing some research, apparently it’s a famous icon for the chic and trendy Japanese teenagers!  Learn something new today : ) )

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 : )

Can be found at Harmonyland in case you wanted one!

Are you ready for another dose of Super Hello Kitty Fans?

A Hello Kitty fan pays a visit to another fan’s Hello Kitty House and took a few pictures - Please don’t scream : )

From BoBo’s collection via CatCat - wants to see more?  Click here.

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.

Maybe just what I need to help Master Ethan to get through his high fever!

Temperature still running high around 103F, hope it will go down soon!

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!

Found an article on Hyperbeast relating to some exclusive products for the upcoming Hello Kitty Black Wonder Event which included clothings by SILLY THING:

There will also be coverage on the event starting on the next issue (#361) on Hong Kong’s milk magazine:

Can’t wait to see how the event will unfold … and if there is going to be anything on Sanriotown that us oversea members can participate in?

Came across a few necklaces in the Sanrio Japan online stores that looked really nice:

And the box that came with these necklaces is really nice too!

I have always wanted a timeless pearl necklace that I can dress either up or down with.  But I have to save up a little more to get a nice authentic pearl … but at the mean time, maybe a pink Hello Kitty one will do?  hehe

Do you enjoy the game LIFE?  I used to love playing that game as a kid and it’s now available in Hello Kitty version:

The best part I like about the game is I get to put  kids on my car AND I get to pick whether to have a pink (girl) or a blue (boy), but I don’t seem to see a car on this version nor any mini Hello Kitty - maybe Hello Kitty is not planning to make some babies in her life? haha

Okay … fathers might have very little to do with Hello Kitty, but there are actually some very cute Men’s stuff available at the Hello Kitty Store in Shibuya near Tokyo:

I remembered that on my first trip to Tokyo, I bought a Hello Kitty tie for my ex and back then, my mom said at the mall - ‘if he would wear this tie in public, he really loves you’.  Well, he did wore it at least once, but I am not so sure about the he really loves you part hahaha

Happy Father’s Day to all daddies! : )
