Sanrio continues its world takeover with Momoberry, the new sophisticated brand of Hello Kitty products anchored by a flagship store at the Beverly Center Mall in L.A. Items include a line of perfumes and bath products and jewelry by Kimora Lee Simmons. You can get some of the stuff online, too, but a trip to the City of Angels couldn't hurt!

cab for cuties

this article from the AP jump-started adorable sunday! nissan is marketing the pino, a tiny cute car for girls that's actually just a slight redesign of the cheaper suzuki alto.

i found this interesting:

... in most countries, experts tend to advise against making autos pink or adding other "cute" features to appeal to female drivers partly because that may smack of sexism and turn off women -- except in Japan.

it does seem like a turn-off, and i'm actually not so into the look of the pino. maybe it's the dorky guy posing next to it in the photo? or am i losing my cute radar?

harajuku lovers

help a girl out -- i'm still puzzled over this ad in the june/july issue of nylon! it's for a company called laundry/sunny girl california, and their clothes feature a really cute heart logo with the word "love" inside. but when i go to their website, it's a japanese company with no info on how to get the clothes unless you're on meiji street in the harajuku!

look what they say: "we offer to create 'cheap and rough california style.' " i want it.
