Finally! The famous ModKat litter box is now available in pink! You can pick up the exclusive limited edition at Fab.com for $160 – that’s $40 off the regular retail price, and this one benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation. What’s really great is that if you google for “modkat pink” you will see that people have been clamoring for a pink ModKat box for a long time…and now they have one!

Can’t afford the $3300 price tag on a pink Vespa scooter? No problem! Pick up a wall decor version for just $637! It looks like a cake to us though. A tasty Vespa cake. Hmmm.

What I like about this cute little flower fan is that it will look like a beautiful flower when running, and a slightly grotesque, all-plucked-out flower when standing still. It’s two looks in one! Unfortunately the damn thing is $20 and it takes two AA batteries. It must be popular, though, because it’s out of stock as of this writing.

I would live here, I really would, and I don’t think I’d grow tired of it. I do realize that the interior is also all-pink and all-HK, but I don’t think it really matters. I think I am comfortable enough with my love of Hello Kitty that I could live in this place on a daily basis. This place is reportedly located in Taiwan, but I can’t find anything about it – I don’t think it’s the Grand Hi-Lai Hotel, because their Hello Kitty House is “situated in the hotel lobby” – seems a bit different. That place has a totally awesome Hello Kitty suite though, I’d definitely like to stay there if I ever made it to Taiwan! So alas, I have no idea where this Hello Kitty House (and its green next-door neighbor) is located. If anybody knows, please pipe up!

I discovered how to make everything pink. It’s called Splat hair dye and the Luscious Raspberry color will dye everything pink, including your skin. And your bathtub. And your clothes. Everything. I was rinsing my hair in the shower, and I turned around and everything I saw was pink! The bathtub, the walls, the faucet handles, everything! I was able to get most of it off – it’s not my bathroom to mess up – but I tell you, I had a good laugh when I saw everything pink! I’ll let you know how the hair color comes out. The company also makes Fetish Pink dye, but this color was plenty pink. I didn’t bleach first, though.

Everything comes in pink, right? Everything. That includes “charging valets” which are a new concept designed to keep your charging items tidy and the cords out of sight. They usually come in black, mahogany, cherry wood, and other blah colors. But what if you have a pink room? This model is from Brookstone and was originally $29 but is now $5. Seriously. I’m picking this up myself, actually, because my bluetooth headset, my Blackberry, and my iPod are usually just lying all over the floor near my bedside power strip. Unfortunately shipping on this toy is more than the item itself – $7 for shipping! But seriously, twelve bucks? Can you beat twelve bucks? If you want to pad your order, check out the pink leather toiletries case, and the related products at the bottom of that page.

Like the inexpensive Hello Kitty MP3 players I’ve featured earlier, this digital photo frame is a Spectra product. You’ll never believe this, but it supports photos up to 200 megapixels! At least, that’s what the website says…I’m not sure I believe it either. It only has 32MB of internal memory (probably not enough for a 200 megapixel picture) but it has an expansion slot that takes several types of cards, including SD cards. You can connect it up to the TV, and it also has a calendar and alarm. Unfortunately it is widescreen, which means that some of your photos may be oddly cropped when showing on the frame. I cannot find pricing on this thing anywhere which means it may not actually be available – but give Spectra a call if you’re interested!

I’m going to try to post more often, okay? Let’s get started with this adorable switchplate. I suspect most people don’t think about their switchplates a lot…it’s just a functional thing hiding a bunch of wiring. But it’s also an opportunity to jazz things up a bit. If your room is already pink, and the switchplate is just the same color as the walls, why not throw this cutie up there to make things zippier? It’s the Pink Sam switchplate from Felinerina, which has a whole collection based on Andy Warhol’s collection “25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy” – it’s a pretty cool tidbit unlike his famous Campbell’s and Marilyn Monroe stuff. Read about it here.

Oh my god, I think I’m hyperventilating. Let me tell you why. See, for years I have wanted a digital photo frame. It would go great on my desk at work and it would cycle through pictures of loved ones, pets, favorite vacation pictures, etc. Even though I don’t have my own desk anymore, I still want one, for whatever reason. They are usually really super expensive though – the last time I checked, a good-sized one was still in the $250 range. But the Miniview Digital Photo Frame is only $99 at Amazon, and I have $85 of gift certificates there already! Plus this cute little frame can handle an mp3 file to serve as background music, if you like that kind of thing. Oh man, if I wasn’t in school right now, I would be all over this!

The Aloha Surfboard Ceiling Fan is for sale at a baby website, but I think it would go great in any girl’s room! Most ceiling fans are utterly boring, and they’re hard to paint once they’re up there. So this is a great alternative to getting paint in your eyes! It’s extra-whimsical because of the surfboard motif – so I can envision a lot of teenage surfer girls in California getting this one. It uses three standard lightbulbs and comes with mounting equipment.
