Hello Kitty for president

Now I'm British so the American election is just a spectator sport for myself and with mercury retrograding it should only cause more drama, and from the outside looking in my vote would go to Obama. He may or may not have stuck to his promises, but a woman deserves rights and with Romney in charge it looks to be all downhill from the minute he'd set foot in the white house. 

Enough of the serious stuff.. I Love the Sanrio campaign 'Hello Kitty for president!'


By using the art of photo shop they have reworked iconic images and made them a forefront. Who needs Jay Z or Kid rock campaigning for you when your Hello Kitty! 



The pop up store in NYC was open from the 1st of November to the 6th. while this is all in good fun Sanrio donated proceeds to the american red cross, to aid in the recovery of the city after Hurricane Sandy along with other charities. 




The collection is super adorable too, and to all lovers of Hello Kitty over 18 in America this is a good way to remember to vote. You can't complain if you don't bother voting. Your vote could make all the difference.

Wreck this Journal #4

First blog of my 19th year on the planet,
 I now have a better camera so quality on image's as of this blog will be  a lot higher! 

I haven't really had much time to do anything in my journal once again but I am getting the paint out this week and completing the pages that allows you to get messy, Actually excited to do the finger painting page if I'm honest!  Anyway here's my Wreck this Journal update ; 


Page 19 - press leaves and other found things.


this actually occured by accident I decided to make a circle of leaves, and it reminded me of jesus (sorry all you christians and catholics out there).


This is my Favourite page so far :
           Don't want to give it away tho D:





Page 43 - make a paper aeroplane.


Yeah that's an aeroplane stuck to paper...
I was actually devastated that I couldn't remember how to make one and failed miserably but after a master class off a close friend over skype pretty sure I'm good on the whole making a paper aeroplane again now!





page 90 & 91 - Trace the things in your bag (or pockets) let the lines overlap


Badly drawn Hello kitty overload with a sprinkle of tokidoki and a rubbish phone. This would be what I carry on me 90% of time, No idea why I had hello kitty mints in my bag at this particular time as I'm allergic to them ....





Page 82 - let a child loose on this page!


one of the pages I've added myself, so there aren't any blank pages in my Journal, I let my 6 year old twin sisters loose on this! so pleased they actually listened and didn't go crazy!






The Next instalment will probably be based on the pages that include paint and ink etc although many of the pages I started a while ago that ask you to collect or find stuff are coming along pretty quick now! I can't believe I've almost completed it! there are a few pages I'm terrified of doing so as the book says : 'instructions are open to interpretation' I'm trying to find a way around them!

Hello kitty cube craft


I decided to try the Hello Kitty Cube from :- http://www.cubeecraft.com/
thinking it would be easy! but 3 hours later I completed it realising that it actually isn't and using normal A4 paper was a huge mistake!  So the Next one I make, which I will be making soon I'll use a tougher more durable paper! (it does specify that thicker paper is better on the page itself).

so yeah, the final product ....




I'm really happy with it, it has a few minor mistakes but for my first attempt it looks good amongst my vinyl toy collection!

Tokidoki Love







tokidoki ("sometimes" in Japanese) is the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand created in 2005 by Italian artist Simone Legno and his business partners Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold.
tokidoki produces apparel, footwear, accessories and other products using art, iconic characters and the tokidoki logo designed by Simone Legno, including purses, t-shirts, vinyl figures, jewellery, and small toys. - Wikipedia. 


Being a lover of all things cute, Tokidoki really captured my heart and my vinyl toy collection is 90% made up of Tokidoki items from the cactus friends to unicorno's! would love to be able to add the Moofia to these in time! (especially Latte!) 

Simone Lengo is a genius and this is shown with his collaborations with companies like Sanrio (hello kitty), Marvel, Skull candy, Barbie along with many others! The company is endorsed by so many celebrities even being featured in 'No love - lil wayne feat Eminem. 



 The tattooed Barbie caused controversy all over the world as well as selling out everywhere in record time! I don't know why it caused so much uproar with parents all over the world but it did, yes it was the first Barbie to have non removable tattoo's but they had released a Barbie that had transferable tattoo's on them!  I think that this Barbie showed the way the world is moving forward years ago woman having tattoo's was a taboo and now were socially accepted to have them! The price of this Barbie showed that it was clearly a collectable item, so most purchases I can Imagine have gone to people like myself that appreciate Simone Lengo's work! Although I know my 6 year old sister would be in love with her as she loves the idea of Tattoo's since i got my first.
