Seriously? Another Hello Kitty post?

Last one, I promise (well... I can't promise), but this was too good not to post about!

MAC has asked tons of amazing designers to do Hello Kitty inspired peices which are being auctioned off on ebay in order to raise money for the Museum of FIT. Charlotte Ronson, Elie Sabb, Hervé Léger, and Zac Posen are among the numerous designers involved in this project.

Here are some of my favorite creations:

Zac Posen, Elie Sabb, Sang Beg, Manish  Aurora, Su-Chin Huang, Dress 33

Katie Perry wore this Hello Kitty ensemble by the Blonds at the Brit Awards. For only $570 this bedazzled bustier can be yours!

Hello Kitty is officially out today! It is on the website and also in some stores. Along with the collection MAC released this video. I love the surreal Alice in Wonderland feel - seriously creepy!

Inspired by the video I put together my own Alice in Wonderland look. I think I want to wear this to my birthday party next month...

me and my kitty!

Feeling Feline

I've loved Hello Kitty since sixth grade. I was a regular at the Sanrio store at the mall. Now that I'm grown I've transfered my obsession to makeup and can't take a trip to the mall without stopping into the MAC store to check out the latest collection.

When I first heard about the MAC and Hello Kitty collaboration last fall my head practically exploded. I've since spent hours looking up different blogs, in hopes of finding new pictures or new release date info.

The day has finally come. I just pre ordered all my kitty cosmetics from Nordstroms. I ordered a modest amount, only 6 pieces from the collection, which isn't much for true MAC collectors. 

I highly recommend that anyone else interested in this collection pre-order! Mac has been known to sell out.

I will do an update when my new purchases arrive.

Valediction and Urination

My brother Jake moved out yesterday. He had been living at home since he graduated college last spring, but there really wasn't any work for him around here, especially after the election (he was a political science major) so he's decided to move to Albany where he worked as a Senior and where his friends live.

While me and my mom are ok with Jake leaving us, Gus, the cat, is not as thrilled. Despite being and incredibly dumb cat Gus is able to sense when people are leaving. While Jake was leaving Gus decided to stage his own protest in the form of peeing on some of Jakes stuff. It's his own little way of saying, "fuck you."

This is not the first time Gus has objected in such a manner. While I was packing up a bag to go to my dads apartment for the weekend Gus urinated on a pile of tote bags I keep in the corner of my room.

It's disgusting, but at least I know he cares.

When Jake was leaving for the first time for summer camp I had my own sort of demonstration. Though I was only about 5 years old I was reserved enough to know not to pee on peoples things. Instead I taped all of my stuffed animals to the floor so they would not leave me too.

While I'm excited for Jake to finally begin his "adult life" it's hard to think that he will never live here again. The house I live in now is the only house I've ever lived in. Last winter my father moved out, and now my brother is leaving. In August I will be going to college and shortly after my mom will move to Santa Fe. Each of us is beginning a new life, but unlike most, we won't have any safety net to return to. In a way I will be sort of "homeless."

Love and Marriage

This is one of my favorite things I've written.

Portrait of my Cat as my Husband

If Gus and I were to get married, we would shit in a box and drink out of the toilet. We would never have to wear clothes. We wouldn’t be cold though, because we could always turn the heat up. We would sit by the vents all day, licking ourselves clean. We would be very clean. If I was married to Gus I would never have to cook. Our people would bring us food. We would eat lots of chicken flavored Iams. If I was married to Gus we would never go outside. We’d have no need to go outside. We would chase flies around the living room. Sometimes we would chase imaginary flies. Gus and I would sleep like spoons in my bed. Gus and I do that anyway, but if we were married, it would be ok. Gus and I would not have any children though. Gus is neutered. If I was married to Gus we would spend a lot of time with his brother, Z. I would not let Z sit on my lap though. If I was a married women, that would be improper. Gus and I would not need money. We would not need to buy anything, so we would not need to work. We would not do anything really. Sometimes people would visit us, and we would sit on their laps and hope they would pet us. We would sit on people especially when they didn’t want us to. Gus and I would be very happy.
