The Amateur Hello Kitty Thread?

tapu · 06-10-2011, 07:06 PM

I had no idea that that little pink kitty stuff had such a following. Of course, I've seen it. But I thought it was for children.

Don't get me wrong--hey! It's very nice. Very cute. Very, um, pretty, yes.

I like cats.

Now, I'm thinking that since moving to Maine, I've lost track of more pop culture than I realize. Just a month ago, in another state, I found a very cool little wristwatch in a hospital gift shop and I was so pleased with it. When I showed to my teen cousins, they were like, "Duh (kids still literallly say 'duh'?), it's an Air Sport." Or whatever. I was surprised to find out that it comes in, oh, 60-odd(?) colors? Mine is black.

Please confess similar cluelessness about pop culture. Or... clue us in. Oh, hey, I had another one: Hula Hoops. Who knew? They're... weighted... and adult people do it in... groups.

Um Hello Kitty is an Icon....

*cheers*

girl_dee · 06-10-2011, 07:17 PM

Yes... hmphhhhh

The other thread is *pro* as in *for*, not pro as in *professional* (opposite of amateur) since so many are anti- HK.

I find her to be an adorable Femme kitty hence my love for her, plus she is sassy, smart, loves her friends and dresses cute regardless if it's a bow or a cute fancy dress

She's been around since 1974 and BLOWS Barbie away as far as appeal for me!

MrSunshine · 06-10-2011, 07:23 PM

Can I get a WTF :/

So I gather the cat is off-limits....

Note to self: Don't be funny about the cat. Don't even be thinkin' 'bout bein' funny 'bout the cat.

Am I still ahead of the curve on the watch?

* tapping toes impatiently *

I already drink my morning coffee from this...

...and sleep in a nightshirt with a disheveled Tink that says "Who were you expecting? Sleeping Beauty?"

...what else could it be?

scootebaby · 06-10-2011, 09:55 PM

I just came from checking out the "other" HK thread...

i think an intervention may be needed!

have you all seen the things made to look like the cat? or has the cat on it?

altho the boxer brief thingies didnt look too bad.

got Jo a Tinkerbell motion thing to put in her car...she put it on dash--it melted in the hot Florida sun!

that is all!

tapu · 06-11-2011, 12:38 PM

Jo--

I'll get it together here soon with a pic, but it's a.... What is it.... It's, like, a painting, but the paint is, um, sort of printed on, but it's not, it's that Tink is maybe printed on and then painted on a little bit on top with, like, some kind of light paint that you can sort of see through. Kind of.

Yeah, we're going to need a pic.

It looks to be from the 40s, or 50s. Or 70s...? It's framed in a... frame thing.

I worked at a big women's bar, <cough>the Flame<cough>, in college and the manager there at the time was my roommate. She gave it to me. This thing has PROV-E-NANCE!!
