Hello Kitty USB Feet Warmer
Ever since my wife saw the pimped out Hello Kitty computer mod, she has decided that she needs to make her laptop more Hello Kitty like. Fortunately, she is too afraid to try and pimp out her computer in the same way as the one featured previously. While that is a small consolation prize in Hello Kitty Hell, it is mitigated by the fact that to compensate for not completely decking out the computer, she is purchasing every Hello Kitty add-on computer gadget that she can find. The latest of these being the Hello Kitty usb feet warmer.
Now this would be bad enough if I had to look at them daily on her feet, but she also decided I needed my own Hello Kitty usb feet warmer and presented it in a way that I couldn’t really argue. Because our house doesn’t have central heating (which is common in Japan) and because energy prices are so high, getting a feet warmer would save a lot in energy costs as it is the feet that really get cold in winter.
So my choice this winter is to place my feet into those sickly, fuzzy pink foot warmers or let them slowly turn into blocks of ice. Since I still do value the use of my legs, the fuzzy, pink foot warmers usually win out. As I look at my Hello Kitty feet at this moment as I type (this epitomizes Hello Kitty Hell), I realise that there is something very wrong in making a man wear pink slippers of any kind. Isn’t there a law against this, or something? Maybe losing my feet to frostbite isn’t such a bad option after all…

[...] In Giappone sembra essere esplosa ormai la mania. Nessuno riesce più a stare davanti al Pc senza uno scalda piedi collegato via USB. Se anche voi siete delle freddolose o non volete farvi sfuggire l’ultima follia Made in Japan, vi consigliamo il modello total pink di Hello Kitty, morbido e facilissimo da collegare. [...]

[...] My wife is continuing to add to her Hello Kitty computer accessories to the point that she is going to need to get a massive USB hub (I’m sure that they make a Hello Kitty one somewhere and if they don’t, it’s likely already in the works) for all the Hello Kitty gadgets. She has been in love with the Hello Kitty foot warmers ever since she got them (I just never look under my desk and try not to think about the fact that a grown man has his feet in warm, fuzzy pink slippers – can’t be much less manly than that), so when she came across the Hello Kitty USB lap warmer, she had to have it: [...]

Oh but there is a Hello Kitty USB HUB. There’s a site called DreamKitty.com that is loaded with useless yet for a girl desirable things with her face plastered all over it

This would be a super cool idea if it wasn’t branded with Hello Kitty (yes, I do know I’m commenting on something like two years old.)
Seriously. Warm feet.
My computer desk is also in our “rumpas room” which masquerades as my study and the cats room. Which means there is a cat door, and because our cat is so pathetic she can’t even open it properly we have to prop it up. Meaning ice block feet.
Ever thought of getting like a (even a Hello Kitty) pot of ink or something saying that you want to learn calligraphy and then “accidently” spill it all over the warmers so that it covers the Hello Kitty and hopefully most of the pink?
Just a random idea – it probably makes no sense to anybody but me lol..
