DS Kitty Covers

DS Kitty Cover

Now these are designs heheh. I like the first and last one, and I bet they’d look real cool on my DS.. except that.. I don’t HAVE a DS! LOL! But actually if I were to get a portable console, it would probably be a DS.

I dunno, something about the PSP. I mean, I wouldn’t throw it away if I got one, but it just wouldn’t be my first choice. Sure, the PSP’s cooler and has better titles, but the types of games in the DS are the types of games I’d play when I’m outside.  I just don’t like the idea of me playing when I’m outdoors, coz usually that’s when I’m with friends and stuff.. I’d wanna be talking to them instead of playing. But even if there are some times that I’m out alone, I guess I’d just rather be walking around and listening to music.

Yes, what I said would probably qualify me as a traitor to the gaming world. But hey, I just dowanna look back and wonder where all those hours went. Heheh. :P

Pivi? Pivi.

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Fujifilm Pivi~ I don’t know what Pivi means, or why they named their product that, but just like the fun/smart people they are they’ve made a Hello Kitty edition of their MP-70! *crowd roars*

Photo Printer 2

It’s one of those gadgets that you can definitely do without, but once you have it, you’re probably always gonna take it with you. I know I would. It’s an infrared device that you can send pics to from your mobile phones (or any other image-capturing device with IR), and it’ll print the images on special film, that are also Hello Kitty themed!

Pivi FilmThere you go. I think it’s pretty cool, especially recently I’ve been bumping into some old friends I don’t really get to see that often. I like having hard copies of my pics, especially to give them in case we don’t see each other in a while again. I also love taking random pics with my phone whenever I see something nice, weird or amusing. Harhar.

Though I imagine that the film is rather expensive, I think it’ll be worth it. It’s handy, practical (for people like me), and it’s Hello Kitty. :)

Hello Kitty FM Transmitter

FM Transmitter

I checked the price for something like this sometime ago, and it was so expensive! I don’t get it, the one I checked was just a simple one even. So unfair! Anyways I just needed to share that harhar, let’s move on…

What is it exactly? It’s an accessory for the iPod, lemme give you the specs so I don’t miss anything:

* Mobile FM Transmitter for Wireless Car Audio
* Compatible with iPod - 4th Generation, iPod Video - 5th Generation, iPod Photo, iPod mini
* Features: Play iPod Through Car Stereo on Any FM Station, Full FM Tuning Capabilities for Clear Sound
* Operates up to 10 Feet Away
* 30-Pin Pass-Through Connector Inputs
* Made of Hard Plastic
* Additional Features: For Entertainment while Travelling, Setup is Easy with Autoseek, Easy Use, Easy Set-Up

I found it on Amazon by the way, and I think it’s very useful. A lot of times I want to play my iPod loud and can’t without bringing speakers. Yeah I know, speakers are easier to bring than a radio, but this is still better because you can use it for your car speaker, or any other device with FM transmission, for that matter.

Sometimes my brother borrows my iPod for dance practice too, and I’m sure they’d appreciate it since a sound system (in the studio or wherever) would sound better than ordinary PC speakers, which they usually use.

I asked how something like this works, and this is what I was told: You set a frequency that the transmitter will use, and when you turn your radio to that frequency, it’ll play whatever’s playing on your iPod. Pretty cool huh? It’s like having your own radio station.

Now…I wonder if my brother will use this even if it’s Hello Kitty. :P

Mini Planetarium ~♥

Mini Planetarium 01

OMG! This is the coolest thing ever! It’s is my favorite of all the items I’ve ever featured. It’s called the Hello Kitty Mini Planetarium, and I found it on the Sanrio JP shop. I know what you’re thinking—it doesn’t look like much. Thankfully there are pictures of what it looks like in the dark~

Mini Planetarium 02 Mini Planetarium 03

I SO WANT THIS, seriously. I’m the kind of geeky dreamer girl who looks up into the stars, pretends she can fly, and names constellations while she’s at it. If someone gave me this as a gift, I’ll love that person forever. Hahaha. I’m not sure if it runs on batteries, or if you can make it spin…that would be cool though. If I had this, I’d leave it on every night without fail, I’m pretty sure I’ll be spending at least 30 minutes staring at the ceiling and walls. Geeky dreamer girl indeed.

Hello Kitty on O

Go click the image~ Or if you don’t wanna, here’s what it says: “I’m impressed. No cuter sandwich press has ever existed in the history of humankind. That’s just a fact.”

Well you already know (also, it’s right there), but O is the lifestyle magazine of the infamous Oprah Winfrey, and yes, those are her words. Hahaha~ Can you imagine her making sandwiches in the morning using our very own Hello Kitty’s sandwich press? And also I’d like to take this time to say…that those sandwiches are so cute. I want one. I want to make them and give them to friends. I want to poke them too (no I won’t poke the ones I’ll be giving out). No really, my brother will probably weep and mourn if I do, but I just might buy this if I see it. :P

Then if I ever see Oprah in person, we can share sandwich press stories. Harharhar~

Pocket Kitty

Pocket Kitty

If you’ve ever gotten into the virtual pet craze about a decade back, OR if you’re still in it, then this is definitely for you. This is Pocket Hello Kitty, a game where you get to interact with Hello Kitty, in her own little digital pocket-size world. But this isn’t like just any other virtual pet game, there’s actual stuff she can do (besides eating and…you know). To answer the $6M question, “What does this button do?” I have this here to help:

Click to see this full-size~

But stocks of this are terribly limited, and I mean TERRIBLY. I’m not even sure they still make this, but I sure hope they do. Anyways, what exactly can you do with Kitty in this little gadget? Well, you start of by walking around, and when you get enough “kitts” from the number of steps you’ve taken, you get to enter (dun dun dunn~) Kitty’s Forest. But it’s not as scary as I made it sound, in the forest you can get items and make friends, who apparently know “the secret of the forest”. Oooooh~

She has her own storage or “chest” for items that she’s picked up. The gadget has an alarm, which I believe you can use for more practical purposes as well. There’s a Friend Notebook for her list of friends, and there are secret items too, like a tennis racket for her to play with. The Ribbon item lets her change her entire wardrobe when you use it. So she can meet up with her forest friends in style harhar.

Anyways I don’t know how much this is, because the source says “Out of stock” and it’s pretty much been like that for some time now. Don’t they realize that this is the key to the future?! Lol um…okay maybe not, but it’s pretty neat isn’t it? :P

Cat or Mouse?

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Hello Kitty Mouse

It’s so clever! It’s a Hello Kitty USB mouse. Why clever? Just look at where they put he buttons and the wheel. It’s brilliant! If these people concentrated their efforts into medicine, we’d have a cure for cancer! Well…kidding. Haha, but goodness, when you’re not using it (hence, your hand isn’t covering the clever niceness), it can actually double as a decoration for your desk. There’s also a red version in case you’re not too fond of pink, but then again if you don’t like pink you probably wouldn’t be here…

Anyways! This is an optical mouse, hence no little ball to play with once in a while. If you wanna see what it looks like in the dark, click here. The price (since I seem to always be asked for prices) is AU $15.88, starting bid. It’s 1200dpi, which in English means it’s pretty responsive. It’s compatible with all Windows versions now, and MAC OS9 or above. Yes, I did find it on eBay, because eBay loves Hello Kitty~ <3

Hello Kitty Phone Part 3

Hello Kitty Phone Part 3
Okay you got me, it’s not really a phone, it’s a clock designed to look like a classic rotary telephone. Haha sorry I know you were probably expecting a mobile (or something you can at least call with), but take a few seconds (one banana, two banana…), click the image above, and just look at how awesome that is! Lemme help you a bit:

DialKitty & Mimi

You can click those too for larger versions. It’s officially called the Hello Kitty Telephone Style Clock, and the Kitty & Mimi “mascots” can actually be detached. I absolutely love how this looks, it has that whole traditional, authentic feel to it. I’m not sure if I wish this were a real phone, or if I like that it’s just a clock. Anyways, this definitely gets an A+ from me in terms of style. Not to mention, the mascots (sorry that’s the term they used haha) I think are really nice.

The phone itself is approximately 4×4x4 inches, and the mascots are just under 3 inches. That’s what they said but…I’m not sure that makes much sense. It runs on just one AA battery (sold separately). This is such a collector’s item, and I think it’s great that they tried a different style with this item. It rocks my old-school socks.

Hello Kitty Crystal Xbox Console

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Hello Kitty Xbox

BAM! I’m not sure if I have/want to write anything about this one. Why? Because I think the violent reactions contrasting with the squeals of gamer girls have said it all. This was created specifically for the Singapore market, so bad news for Kitty fans outside the country…good news for the guys though heheh. It comes with a crystal controller and the Hello Kitty Mission Rescue Game. I’d really like to see this in real life, but looks like I won’t get the chance to. Anyways, I don’t care how mad the guys get, it’s pink, it’s Hello Kitty, and it shall be loved. Moohaha~

8 Centimeters of Full Kitty Cleaning Power~

Mini Vaccuum

Let’s say it’s 3:00 in the afternoon, on a Thursday. The temperature is 33°C. You’re sharpening your pencil at the speed of 45RPM. You end up with a bunch of pencil shavings on the table. Do you:

[a.] Ignore it.
[b.] Wonder why there’s so much useless information up there.
[c.] Sweep them off the table and into the trash, because that’s the “practical” thing to do.
[d.] Take out your HELLO KITTY 8-CM MINI VACUUM CLEANER and clean it up the FUN WAY!

Pick D! You know you want to! Actually I want to, and also I apologize for wasting your time. Haha, but seriously. I can’t imagine really buying this because it’s a vacuum cleaner…I want it because it’s fun! That’s reason enough for me~ But don’t ask me how it works. Is the ribbon down there a button? Do you just say “clean, kitty” and it works automatically? Does it detect mess on its own with its superior AI? I have no idea, but I still want it! Because it’s fun! Harhar~

By the way, apparently this is being sold for AU $7.99 on eBay. Whoever gets this will be one lucky mess-maker. XD
