the definition of spoilt

i couldn’t remember if i liked Hello Kitty when I was young. Judging from these pictures, I guess I did? or maybe just plushies in general.

Japanese 3D nails!

i know NOTHING about 3D nails. the most i have ever done is a french manicure or my typical “teen angst” black nails. In theory, I would love to have crazy Japanese 3D nails every day but my job involves a lot of glove wearing so anything 3d would not be practical. sigh. which is why these SANRIO press-on nails are GREAT…. they will be on sale at the HELLO KITTY BEAUTY PARLOR event 11/11…. they are practically SOLD OUT in LA… Get them at the event while supplies last!

here are some more cute ones i saw on the internetsssss.

marc is the alarm from dr. klahn’s fortress in Fistful of Yen.  You don’t need to see the movie to appreciate his execution.

BOB BAKER is my hero

Went to a special presentation of the Halloween Spooktacular show where Charles Phoenix gave a slideshow on Bob’s career which began in 1932. Got all emotional seeing this man’s dedication and passion to puppetry.  It’s truly amazing.

bob said he had a beer and was feeling good the day of this photo. keke

i want Charlie Phoenix’s suit but in the form of a dress. The splatter has rhinestones on it.

ice cream and cake party

couldn’t resist… i bought a clown puppet.

work costume contest win

nothing to gloat about as the competition was slim… but still… feels really good to WIN.

TRIX & TREATS!! recycled Mr Peanut + ‘fonso costumes…. fun with felt.

the compounders were all such good sports it felt good to bring home the win for them.

rob dyrdek fantasy factory

thanks to miss Caro, we got to roam free around the fantasy factory.  Saw an episode for the first time today so I can say I am looking at these with a new sense of appreciation… esp the part where i became emo crys for a second !

matryoshka!!!

great idea for a halloween costume… would definitely attempt my own version next year.

this guy did some with phones!

!!!WANT!!!

DIY costumes

DO IT YOURSELF costumes are the way to go.  doesn’t have to be perfect, just need a great idea.

wow. i’m impressed

THE BEST!!!

ASIMO COSTUME FOR SALE!!!! only $400!!!

i think the less realistic $400 one is better than this guy’s

lovable costumes

vivetta

dreamboats. each and every one. pretty pretty outfits by Vivetta.

fast food gang

knew the McDonald’s gang since I was a wee kid (there’s me in the black dress and next my first “boyfriend” in the white jacket)…

A lot of people are scared of clowns and Ronald is among the scarier ones… that doesn’t stop me from wanting to be him… esp after seeing Miss McDonald do it so well…

i’ve also seen people do the fast food gang thing for halloween and it seems like such a good idea until you try to get it all together… here are some folks who deserve honorable mention:

awwww….. the chicken is a nice touch. so is the baby. that’s totally not fair. babies in anything will get way more attention than adults.
