As everyone clearly knows, I am obsessed with Hello Kitty. I wonder if secretly I am Asian and my parents have been pulling the wool over my eyes for years. After all.. I was born in Thailand, but I digress. My Hello Kitty obsession is epic. I become fixated on a Hello Kitty object and cannot let go till I own it. Right now I am hunting for the perfect Hello Kitty license plate cover. So far no luck. But I did stumble upon something so wonderfully kittylicious, that I froze my credit card in a ziplock bag as not to order it online.
What may you ask is so fan-kitty-tastic? It is the Tarina Tarantino Hello Kitty Bride Necklace! Oh how I love it. Number one, I am and have always been a pearl girl. I have strands and strands of pearls. White, champagne, chocolate, pink, blush, black.. I love pearls. Second I love Hello Kitty! The combination of Hello Kitty and pearls is so much of a win win for me that when I saw the necklace online a gleaming light shone upon my head and angles sang in my ears. Yes! I MUST have this necklace.
It is called the Pink Head Bride Large Pearl Necklace! The website describes it as “an amazing cuture=styled adjustable necklace with extra large mulit-toned Italian glass pearls, a 2.5” crystal framed Lucite Pink Head Bride pendant, and a satin ribbon tie at the back sprinkled with a wash of Swarovski crystals.. Ok so basically costume jewelry. I was just about to hit the “Order” button…. When… I noticed the PRICE.
It is $400! Are they CRAZY! There is NO WAY I am going to pay $400 for fake pearls. I mean come the hell on! FAKE PEARLS! I don’t care how eloquently the website described them. They are FAKE PEARLS! FAAAAAAKKKKKEEE PEARRRRRRRLLLLSSSS! Not real pearls.. Not cultured pearls.. Not freshwater pearls.. FAKE PEARLS! I did the calculations on the materials used to make this necklace. Ribbon= $10 (and I am being generous) Swarovski crystals $50 tops (again being generous) Fake Pearl Necklace $20 at best and lastly the Hello Kitty pendant $20. This necklace most likely costs $100 tops to produce. I understand retail mark up, but pluheze! $400 bones for this piece of fashion jewelry? Even I cannot bring myself to pay $400 for this necklace on principle alone. I just can’t. Recession be damned. I just can’t take part in the highway robbery Tarina Tarantino is conducting. I can think of a million other things I would rather spend $400 on. Instead, I am going to utilize my creativity and reproduce this necklace on my own. I am rather clever when it comes to jewelry but the difference between the one I am going to construct and the one by Tarina Tarantino is, mine is going to be made with REAL PEARLS! Pictures to follow.

Soo. Yeah. I have a Hello Kitty obsession. It is absolutely
ridic, I know but I am by no means ashamed. In fact, I embrace it. I love Hello Kitty and nothing upon nothing will diminish it. I have noticed there are quite a few Hello Kitty devotees on Twitter. Which leads me to believe I might have enough people to form my own Hello Kitty club. Only really really really cool people can join my Hello Kitty club. Rule number one, I get to set the standard of coolness is. This club is going to be extremely exclusive. I can't let just any riff
raff into the ranks of the Hello Kitty elite.
The members of the Kick Ass Hello Kitty Club (I also get to name said club) will ride around town in this Hello Kitty Attack Vehicle. Anyone that gets on our nerves, we will roll over them in the pink camouflage Hello Kitty Attack Vehicle. We also have have Hello Kitty fatigues and super crazy sexy cool uniforms. These uniforms will not be designed by
Kimora Lee Simmons. She is tacky Hello Kitty. We want classy Hello Kitty. (once again standards set by me)
We will have a sorority house just like this one. The sorority house will be treated like the Honeycomb Hideout. No BOYS allowed! We can have 2 extremely
hawt houseboys that clean the Hello Kitty Sorority House. They also cook and take orders from all members without complaining. Their uniform will be a Hello Kitty loincloth. We will hold parties with Hello Kitty cupcakes and all sorts of delicious food. Life in the Hello Kitty Sorority Manor will be fantastic. We can even hold a rush once a year. I have no problem with hazing. Only the most devoted followers of Hello Kitty deserve to join our ranks.
Ah yes. The Hello Kitty
taser. This is important. If the houseboys start to get out of line, we will use this on them. The
taser will also be used on anyone who bothers us. Most of the members of the Kick Ass Hello Kitty Club are mildly violent like me. We will each be assigned our own personal
taser for emergencies. People getting on our nerves is considered an emergency.
I believe we should make the houseboys dress in this Storm Trooper uniform whenever we need a laugh. I mean come on. This is just straight hilarious. I would never personally play myself by wearing this get up, but I can damn sure enjoy laughing at someone else wearing it. I can barely type from laughing.
I also think this should be our mascot. It sums up perfectly the mission statement of the Kick Ass Hello Kitty Club. If you don't like us, feel perfectly free to kiss our asses.
The first member of the Kick Ass Hello Kitty Club is Brittney as she is just as
cantankerous as I am. Love ya @bleakey!
