I was originally going to blow 80 dollars on a Ruth’s Chris but as I thought about it I decide I just cannot justify spending $80.00 on a steak dinner; so I comprised, tonight I went to the Sanrio store at Washington Square and bought me a new 17 in hello kitty plush and 35,00 for a steak and lobster dinner at Stafford’s for a little more than the same price.
Birthday plans so come together
Recently I got into a dust off over a discussion over gender and clothing on a christian furry board I am part of. Eventually the conversation came around can a man wear an article of clothing of the opposite sex. Some of agree that there a difference between transvestitism fetish and style. I brought up my donning a Hello Kitty backpack for purely aesthetical reasons and not a sexual fetish. One particular fellow misapplied Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” He applied to all situations and the church today rather and specifically to the Israelite people as God gave them the law before they were to enter the promise land. (This is far I am going since this is not a theological discussion) .
The skinny of it is there a lot more to Deuteronomy 22:5 but a guy just wearing and apparel or accessory is not enough to be a violation of this verse. As I refuted his argument, I started thinking and like to know have any guys wear Hello Kitty items like shoes or a shirt.
Since there is not much Hello Kitty for apparel men, my question is do you buy Hello Kitty apparel regardless they were made for the opposite sex. I can say I do in away with my back pack. I seen picture of guys wearing Hello Kitty PJ’s In addition, how about the new Hello Kitty X Vans collection of shoes and backpacks, I have to admit if I was looking for new backpack I would get one of the Vans. The new slip-ons look like a guy could getaway wearing them.
I would like to know so leave a comment.
Ps. while doing some research, I went to the Vans webpage and noted the adult Hello Kitty shoes are listed in boys and men along comparative women’s sizes. Is Vans sending us a message foreseeing men and boys purchasing the shoes for themselves?
But last the do not make them in size 15 for me and the custom build page does not include Hello Kitty designs. 🙁
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.
“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.”

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.
