Pink Blog

Having spent the past summer in Japan, I have learned to mentally convert yen to dollars pretty quickly. As a result, I can tell you that this Hello Kitty iPod Dock, which sells for ¥19,950, is actually about censored in US dollars. Er, sorry about that, I can’t really tell you due to the sticker shock. Let’s just say it’s a little under $250. Yup, this plain old iPod dock, despite being compatible with only a few models (and not the iPhone at all) and having a remote control, thinks it’s worth $250. The only thing I can come up with that makes it anywhere near worth that is that if you touch Kitty’s ears, you can turn the volume up and down. Still, is that worth about $225 over a regular iPod dock that you’ve put Hello Kitty stickers on? I don’t think so.

Welcome back to Pink Blog! I was away for a few months because I was working on two theses for college, and then I went to Japan for three months for an internship. I found some cool pink stuff there, and of course I’ll be posting some of it! I’m back now, and this semester will be more laid-back, so it should be easy to keep up with posting. I’ve changed the design to go with the relaunch of Pink Blog. Thanks for reading!

Why. Why, why, why. Why would you pay $58 for a floppy wireless keyboard? No, you don’t have to pay that because it’s pink. You can get a pink one for much less than that! No, you would pay $58 for this because you are insanely in love with Juicy Couture. And you need their font on Every. Single. Key. Sorry, but I just find that ridiculous. From what I can tell, people who love Juicy Couture are not the type to seek out a new keyboard. Hell, they may not even know a keyboard can be a fashion statement. I’m aware that I’m stereotyping here – presumably there are Juicy fans out there who want keyboards, or the marketing/R&D folks wouldn’t have come up with this. But $58? Really? Get it here if you must.
