I wanted to thank the people at SanrioTown for http://featuring my blog this week. It's a great honor to have this recognition! So thank you again!

Speaking of blogs, I wanted to let you all know that blogs, videos, and all the features of Sanriotown.com are featured in HKO! I don't believe I can show screen shots (I think it could go against the certain things I cannot show.) But essentially, all of this stuff you can get from in-game. So if you have a friend in game, you can get to their blog and stuff by meeting their character. This makes for a really nice interaction between friends. Already I have visited friends blogs and videos from the game. It's one of the nicer things about HKO that makes it a good game. It also encourages people to blog about their experiences, life, and loves. It helps you to make good friends.

So once again, thank you SanrioTown! I'm honored to be the blog of the week!

So... I've made it PRETTY apparent that I love Hello Kitty, but my love for Hello Kitty is really just a love for all things Sanrio (and. cute.. for that matter). My favorite character is actually Chococat. I'm going to say when I was in junior high, my sister decided that we each had characters from Sanrio that fit us, and mine was Chococat. She got Hello Kitty (and later Chi Chai Monchan...). But I really do love Chococat. There's something about dark kitties I always find lovely - even though the cat I fell in love with and cried over was white (but we don't talk about that...). Anyhow, here's some of my Chococat stuff.

 
This was a gift from my sister. She lives in California, and from the time I was in 4th grade up until my senior year of high school I visited her 1-3 times a year. She bought me this as a nice thing to put my shampoo and stuff in because I always had problems with it spilling. It is one of the BEST things I own - I still take it on every trip. And the shampoo bottle and conditioner bottle make traveling sooo easy.

 
This little Chococat Pencil case was pretty cheap (2-3 dollars I think ?) and I use it to hold all my makeup brushes. It's pretty cute, and super useful.

 
This was something my boyfriend bought me our first Valentine's Day together. We agreed to not get gifts, but I found this and a talking toy that morning. Super sweet. He knows my loves.

For now that's all. I had an adorable mirror (couldn't find it for the life of me), and you've seen the Chococat CD case. I feel like I've had more stuff in the past.. or maybe I'm crazy. Probably crazy - :). But whatever.

 
IT'S DONE! New and improved online portfolio - now works in Internet Explorer. Please visit. You can look through some of the projects I have done as a student of industrial design. For those of you unfamiliar with industrial design (id) it is the design of products. This includes shoes, toys, packaging, lights, anything that is 3D and can be sold - we do it! So please wander over to www.kitkatherine.info.
Thanks!

So yeah.. more. Here is what I didn't fit into the last few posts. Tehehe.

 
Hello Kitty Notebook
This is my notebook for school. Most notes and doodles. It's nice to have.

 
Hello Kitty and My Melody Pez Dispensers and Case
My boyfriend bought this for me the other weekend to go along with my collection. I love the clear plastic that they used for the heads. It makes them special. The whole thing was only 9 dollars too!

 
Hello Kitty Shoelaces
I've had these on my shoes so long I almost forgot they were Hello Kitty!

That's all I had left for now :) Chococat craziness is coming - beware!

I like things that are Hello Kitty to be portable. These are some things that I usually carry with me. They are always on hand to do their usefulness or adorable cuteness (it adds to the greatness of many a thing).

 
Hello Kitty as an Orange Key Cover.
This little key cover (now) houses the key to my industrial design studio (i.d. = the design of products, packaging, things that are 3d.) It helps it stand out from the three other brass keys that look just like it.

 
Hello Kitty as an Apple Bag Charm.
I asked for this for Christmas thinking of it as a cell phone charm, but this thing is nearly as big as my cell phone. It was a perfect fit for my mustard yellow school bag though!

 
Hello Kitty Lanyard
I haven't used this in a little bit, but when I was in dorm rooms this was great. I could latch it into my bag, wear on my neck, hang it on the hook when in the shower. It used to have my room key and ID, necessary for everything freshman year. I love the charms. This one even came from Japan ^_^.

 
Hello Kitty and Chococat Pens
These are some of the pens and pencils I have collected. The Chococat ones I have had literally forever. I'm talking sometime Junior/Senior year of high school. One of them still works. The cute little multi colored kitty pen had it's Hello Kitty charm fall off, but it is SO useful at school. I can just switch colors to draw different layers when I need to. It helps me a lot. And the Angel Hello Kitty pencil is something I just recently found.

While the majority of my kitchenware is Value City or Ikea, I have found the occasional place for a few Hello Kitty items.

 
Hello Kitty Sammich Maker. This was a gift from my mother for college. I did beg for it, and it was on sale at Target right before Christmas (this was in 2005). And it has been great. Despite a direct fall onto my MacBook Pro in my dorms (Hello Kitty Sammich Maker won - the Mac still has a small dent), it has made all my sammich making dreams come true. It makes GREAT sammiches.

 
Hello Kitty Tea Cup. I got this in Polaris Mall somewhere near Columbus, Ohio over spring break. I just couldn't help myself. I can never drink much in the morning, and this is the perfect cup size for me . AND IT IS SOO CUTE.

 
Hello Kitty Chopsticks
I picked these up along with some other goodies in the Japan section of Epcot at Disneyland this summer. I was SO in love with them (and all the Hello Kitty stuff) but we had to pack light. So I just bought these. I take them with me everywhere. I whip them out at Wendy's and random places and eat with them.

Don't worry, there is more stuff to come!
 

So I am one of those girls who feels naked without a pair of earrings, at least one necklace, my ring, and something around my wrist. I barely wear makeup, but I love accessories. I've been collecting my Sanrio earrings for a little while now, and here is what I have picked up.

 
The collection - 6 Pairs of Earrings

 
Hello Kitty goes Shopping Earrings.
I got these recently at Polaris Mall near Columbus, Ohio. Super Cute. I don't wear them as much as the others though.

 
Hello Kitty Fortune Earrings. I think it looks more like she's holding bread or something, but whatever. I got these in a three pack at Hot Topic. I don't love the store, but hey, I don't have Sanrio stores, so I go where I gotta go.

 
Similar to the Hello Kitty Fortune Earrings, only now she's eating from a giant bowl! Part of the 3 pack.

 
The last of the three pack, the Hello Kitty Ball Earrings. These are one of my top favorites. Because most people just think they are fake pearls or just plastic beads, but they are so adorable. It's a great surprise.

 
Chi Chai Monchan Earrings. I bought these at Polaris Mall in Columbus, Ohio as well over spring break. I bought my boyfriend's sister a pair as well . Uber cute. I love Chi Chai Monchan.

 
Chococat Earrings! My first pair, I bought in the winter I believe. Again, at Polaris Mall. I wear these the most. I wear them for dates, interviews, whatever. I love the fact that they are black and so versatile. AND SO CUTE! Plus, Chococat is my fave.

I'm still collecting earrings, so surely there will be more to come!
 

So I do own a good amount of Sanrio stuff. My travel stuff is Chococat. I used to have an awesome Chococat mirror that is current in my makeup train case. So I guess I still have it. One day you will see the entirety of my collection. But here is some for now!

 
Adorable Hello Kitty Pez Dispenser. I have a small collection. I got this one at Wal-Mart in the checkout lane. They only had Chococat - which I already have.

 
Me & The Pez Dispenser Pre Opening the Package

 
A Chococat CD holder my sister got for me. She lives in California and has Sanrio stores. Envious!

 
Not only is this Marshmellow Pop ADORABLE, but it is also amazingly delicious. Soo Good. My mom bought this one for me at Target

More to Come.. This is Just the beginning.
 

I am a big fan of Hello Kitty - in case you can't tell. In this I'm just going to show you some of the things I have made / done in the name of Hello Kitty. Most of this is pretty recent.

Hello Kitty Toes!

 
Hello Kitty Toes - More Close Up

If you have any questions (Pizza ingredients, how to do the toes) just ask. I may put a tutorial on Hello Kitty Nails Up later.. depending. Thanks.

Like in most other MMORPGs, like Wow, or even in non MMO settings like Halo, Hello Kitty online allows guilds. The way it is set up is by a Guild NPC located in one of the main towns. Anyone can start a guild, you don't have to pay (in WoW you do) or be anyone special or something. I joined a guild, and did not start my own. It's a nice system. Guild mates can help you build your house, and also you have a guild chat channel. Which makes it great for when you are alone in your farm and need someone to talk to.
