For a few years I have been buying items at yard and estate sales to sell on Ebay. This has left me in a dilemma when it to Sanrio Items. I had a good pull the last few sales. I bought all the items in the picture for a dollar each at three different yard sales. The dilemma is I supposed to by items to sell on EBay but I keep on adding them to my own collection. I know Chibimaru and Derery-Lou would sell on eBay but I am keeping the plushies but I will try to list the rest on EBay . Oh well, the life of a male Hello Kitty Fan.

For next time somebody say you are childish for liking Hello Kitty

“Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

“On Three Ways of Writing for Children” (1952)

C.S Lewis

I think this applies to we  who like Hello Kitty. In other word when we encounter those who confront us for being childish for liking Hello Kitty are the very ones who are acting immature.

I know I probably should not have done it but I felt I had to replace Big Kitty.  It is my way of saying I not going to let the thief get to me. I did have a dilemma whether to buy this one or the newer 2 foot with harts: big size or smaller. I went with the largest.

The big change will be I will carry my plush with me at all times. I will not drive around with a plush in the passenger seat  very often If I do I will not leave  them in my truck even If I go grocery shopping I go home first or she will go into the shopping cart with me.

Toady my usual Sanrio store had a Cherry Blossom Festival event.  I did get one of the stickers.

Ps. I know what I am going to spend $230.00 next Christmas season: Monster Kitty.

Sanrio Taps Lauren Faust for Hello Kitty and Friends Reboot.

Sanrio’s  Brony Play?

In a surprising press release   Shintaro Tsuji standing aside with Janet Hsu,  Sanrio  first Female  COO for  it US.  subsidiary announces the tapping Lauren Faust to Reboot Hello Kitty and Friends  currently shopped to Viacom. Miss Faust, known for her work on Power Puff Girls, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, will serve as Chief Executive for the New Adventurers of Hello Kitty and Friends.

Some in the animation world are surprised by the news yet information leaked Sanrio’s corporate office hint the reason is the wildly success of My Little Pony especially among its most unlikely demographic: 15 to 30 year old men who are fans of My Little Pony. One executives speaking on condition he remains anonymous, say Sanrio has been studying Hasbro and it response to the male demographic. We covet the untapped men’s market and feel Sanrio can do a far superior   job of reaching males with Hello Kitty than the Ponies.  If indications show a building a similar male fan base, Sanrio is better in a position to respond.  Sanrio can have a male line in Sanrio stores within four months and leverage our strength and expertise   in collaborations with popular men’s retail lines, for example a collaboration with Nike.  A Japanese blog, Nandesuka carries the same message.

Could a Hello Kitty X MY Little Pony be in the cards?
