SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

Gone are the days where fathers are distant to their kids, spending more time outside the house than with the children. Now, they are more pro-active in their role in the family in every sense, from having fun with them to helping them in school stuff. Such is the case of this blogger. “All About Kyle” is made by a father and a husband (another male blogger here on SanrioTown!) Most of his entries are centered on his son, Jared Kyle, and the rest of his family, whom he is very close to. His entries are about being a father, a husband, and even as a son. His stories follow that theme, and his tone ranges from the humorous (such as the adventures he, his wife, and his son have) to the serious (what it’s like to be a family man).

Valentine’s Day with Hello Kitty

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. What better way to celebrate that day of sweetness by having sweet Hello Kitty with you?

Sanrio has released two heart-shaped pillows with Hello Kitty’s face as its design, just in time for Valentine’s Day. These are made of polyester, and are big enough to be huggable – you can even pour your heart out to her as you squeeze the pillow tight!

Dream Studio Video of the Week!

Get to do a little bit of sight-seeing with this week’s featured Dream Studio creation. This week is going to be a little different, because we’ll be featuring two videos instead of one. Why, you ask? Because komakatze, the creator of these, actually made it into two parts, so we’ll be featuring both to give you a maximum virtual tour.

Impressions Gran Canaria and Impressions Gran Canaria, 2 feature the landscape, structures, and the way of life of the people of Gran Canaria, a Spanish island near Africa.

The pictures are rustic and go far beyond what you see on typical postcards, showing how the people of Gran Canaria actually see the island. The rawness of the shots are actually what makes the place quite enticing to visit, because there is something in the rugged beauty of the place that makes them appealing. It’s really a very interesting and gorgeous place, and the pictures and the videos capture these perfectly.

To view these videos, please visit http://video.sanriotown.com/video/aaf83190842670b2 and http://video.sanriotown.com/video/7c26f1c47c51dcfa.

SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

Take a look at this great example of a modern-day mommy!“Mrs. Awesome Planet“ is called an “experimental” blog by its writer. She mostly talks about her adventures as a mother of her two young sons. She has shopping tips and suggestions for events for mommies and their kids, so this is something that women with children would definitely enjoy reading up on. She also has ideas for family vacations and activities that everyone would get to enjoy, from the daddy of the family to the young ones!

Hello Kitty Has a Mouth!

Strange news to Hello Kitty fans: Sanrio Japan recently released a toy collection featuring their key icon not only with a mouth, but without a nose as well.

 

There are three “mouthed” Hello Kitty designs you can choose from, each of which has three items following that: a hair tie, a mini-towel, and a wire mascot. You can twist and turn the toy in whatever position you want her to be, because the limbs are pretty flexible. You can even make her balance on one foot, because its hands and feet have magnets that you can attach to a metallic surface to keep her on her toes.

Click on the photos to view the toys from the Sanrio Japan site. Thanks to kt_sanctuary for featuring this!

My Melody’s Birthday!

Happy birthday, My Melody!

My Melody has been part of the Sanrio line since 1975. She was originally designed to be their version of Little Red Riding Hood, but they eventually dropped this in her story and instead came up with a completely different one, which includes her family and friends.

All About: The Little Twin Stars

  Year Created: 1974 

Real Names: Kiki (the younger brother) and Lala (the older sister)

Birthday: 1974

The twins were born on Compassion Planet, in Dream Galaxy. They were really curious about life on Earth and spent time wondering about it, and so they asked their father, an inventor, and their mother, a poetess, if they could visit it, and they agreed. Saying goodbye to their friends the sun, moon, stars, and clouds, and with Lala’s star wand guiding them, they reached Earth safely and have since spread happiness to everyone they meet.

Kiki loves to fish for stars, explore new planets, and invent new things (he takes after his father!) He loves spring and summer the best, because he likes to look at fields of dandelions from his cloud-top perch.

Lala likes to cook, draw pictures, and compose poetry (she takes after her mother!) She loves autumn and winter the best (she writes to her father and mother while floating inthe clear winter sky).
