Haha, this reminds me of me. Whenever I go into town, I ALWAYS get kids staring at me because of my HK handbag

A few weeks ago, I was in a cafe with my sister and two friends. They’d gone up to get some drinks and stuff, and i was sitting at a table by myself. These two younger children from the table next to us were running about and one of them came up to my table, looked at my handbag and started shouting across to her mother “Look mum, Hello Kitty!” The mother of the child just looked over and saw my handbag (it’s in the shape of HK’s head, and it’s very cute, in my opinion anyway) I just laughed, smiled, and waited for my sis and her friends to get back.

Though one day I was on a music course and on the final day of the course I went round the boarding school I was staying in wearing my HK shirt that says “Boys never call when they say they will” on it. The boarding school I was at on the course was being shared with a group of Spanish/French pupils who were learning English, and most of them had been wearing HK shirts a lot of the time. When I went down for breakfast, I was getting looked at funny by all the Spanish/French people.

i think that the paper necklace was her downfall. no true HK fan would wear a paper necklace. they would shell out the money for a real necklace (serious fans would get a Kimora Lee Simmons or Tarina Tarantino). i would think anyone wearing a paper necklace was insane. but trust me, Kitty fans know that to really love her you have to sacrifice your money.

i’m really REALLY embarrassed to say that i think darlene is actually kind of right on this one. except about people coming up to her in the street. that’s just odd. most people don’t even notice my HK jewelry or they just don’t care. either way, this experiment was definitely interesting and i have referenced it on my own personal blog.

Wow, dude… seriously, you’d think the Hello Kitty cultists would get the point by now, but it doesn’t look like it from here. I’ve heard people talk about their religion in less freakishly devoted terms, which is a very worrying thing.

Darlene, people are being polite by not running in terror from you.

That isn’t jewelry, it’s a mini billboard…kinda like a T–shirt with writing and a picture on it…suspended on a chain…Clever…NOT !

“People love it when I walk down the street with Hello Kitty. They want to talk with me and get closer to Hello Kitty”

darlene, then you agree that that woman was better off bringing her small daughter close to a possibly dangerous, possibly deranged man, as opposed to being anywhere near someone who isn’t “real and embracing” Sanrio’s money-making, badly-drawn cartoon character? what priorities. people “love it” when you walk down the street in HK garb because all you want to see is the good in it. you refuse to see the people rolling their eyes or crossing the street to get away from you because you refuse to wrap your mind around the concept that not everyone likes the same thing, or the fact that there has never been and will never be anything wrong with that.

Angel :I read her post.
The problem not just her style but the posting is biased on a straw man logical fallacy or should I say straw kitty.
She builds a straw man of a hello kitty fan and reports on it rather than seeking a real hello kitty fan. The post is a report on herself and her weak argument not on Hello Kitty Fandom.

We can agree to disagree.

I see the same reporting about furry fandom. The report is the one who runs around in a cheap Halloween bought outfit and was ejected for harassment.
