Here is one of my favorite photos I took at Disneyland - it’s a sea of pink Minnies! I am pretty sure they are princesses, and I think they were in the shop at the back of the Critter Country area, but I could be wrong. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find […]

I hadn’t been playing Guitar Hero very long when I slapped some Hello Kitty stickers on my guitar. But for those who’d like a more finished look, there’s the Guitar Hero “Pink Heart” Skin from Amazon.com! It never occurred to me to skin the guitar, even though my Sidekick and laptop are […]

In 2002, the Japanese company Takara released the Bow-Lingual. Reportedly, this device could tell you if your dog was happy, sad, frustrated, on-guard, assertive, or needy - all based on its bark. In 2003, the company followed up the Bowlingual’s success with the Meowlingual, designed to tell you how your cat was […]

I never really fell in love with Monopoly, because games always took too damn long. But if you want your kids to learn the value of buying and selling plastic buildings and cardboard properties, you could give them the $30 pink Monopoly set which is the “Boutique Edition” - the houses have turned […]

I have to admit it. There is finally a product with too much Hello Kitty on it. I’m talking about the Hello Kitty tricycle available now from DreamKitty for $130. Aside from being entirely pink (save for yellow pedals/handles and some blue on the seat and wheels), it is just eye-poppingly […]

I used to have a really crappy “audio chair” that was meant for use with video games. It was uncomfortable, ugly, and had terrible sound, so I never used it. The Blast Pod Audio Rocker, though, looks more comfortable! Admittedly it’s not the pink iRocker, but it is soft, cushy, and […]

It’s Independence Day in the United States, which frequently means cookouts and fun times. So I thought I’d bring you a tasty American invention: cotton candy. It’s known as candy floss in the UK and fairy floss in Australia, but it’s nothing more magical than sugar and some food coloring. Cotton […]

This is a classic item I’ve seen many times before, but it hasn’t been featured on this site yet. The Hello Kitty bowling ball is one in a large lineup of character-covered Viz-A-Balls. I don’t have sufficient skills to make it economical to buy my own ball, but I know bowling is […]

I try to feature items here that you can actually purchase, which is why I don’t have much of the pink items on Etsy - they are usually one-of-a-kind designs and by the time I posted, they would be gone. But even though the Hello Kitty Sega Dreamcast is no longer being made, […]

The Nintendo DS Lite is not the latest and greatest Nintendo system - that would be the Wii - but it does come in baby pink. So if you have a pink DS Lite, you have to have pink accessories, right? If you’re going to make the statement of having the pink […]
