My Hello Kitty Samurai keychain, bought by a friend years ago in Japan, was getting a wee bit tired. Good thing she has a friend now.

Thank you to lovely Suzy, who saw the Hello Kitty Studious Key Cap at ModCloth.com (a fab vintage and “retro indie” website, by the way) and thought of me.

This is one of the least expensive pieces (at $350) in J.R. Dunn’s line of Hello Kitty jewelry. Even I think this is a bit insane. There is a diamond and pink sapphire pendant/brooch going for $30,000.

It’s Hello Kitty Bubble Bath!

Now Rubber Ducky has someone to keep him company.

I like Hello Kitty and have a thing for castles. Just having an account here would, I thought, make me off-the-charts girly. So I took a test. Surprise!

You Are 44% Girly You’re a little girly, a little boyish, and probably a whole lot indie. You have your own unique style, and it pretty much defies gender lines.

Ok, I have to go put on something pink now.

So, I could blog on my own website or make use of the blog feature on MySpace (or countless other similar sites), but somehow it just really amuses me to use HelloKitty.com’s blog!

This is an installation of Wordpress on www.sanriotown.com. I’ve used this on some of my client’s websites, it’s good software. Of course, using it here I have no control whatsoever, so we’ll see how long this lasts!

I recently traveled to Thailand, which was amazing. My friend Jen is mega-jaunting around the globe, you should read her blog (it’s infinitely better than mine, though I did make her website).
