Hello Flu, Dr Kitty's here

IRST OF ALL, po preporuci nase drage homeopatkinje ne linkujem se vise na paniku koju proizvode vesti u kojima posle prvih 15 minuta drame usled galopirajceg gripa kazu da nema razloga za paniku. Slozicete se da se poprilicno zamislite kada vam neko kaze da ne treba da panicite. I ako niste uplaseni pomislite: Ako mi kaze da ne treba da panicim, to znaci da ljudi verovatno panice, mozda bih i ja panicila da shvatam koliko je situacija ozbiljna!? E, sad vec panicim! Ili je to samo moj tok misli...

Nista efikasnije nego zamajati se necim presarenim i preslatkim i sve klizi k'o po loju (loj, fuuuj!). Da ne kazem - Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in a most delightful way.

Dakle, make it kawaii!

Kljucni karakter cele estetike preslatkosti je Hello Kitty. Ona uopste nije moj omiljeni lik, sada su aktuelni daleko bizarniji likovi kao one neke klopice sa licima. Ali, sto bi rekao Djogani - mora da se zna koje bio prvi! Hello Kitty slavi ove godine svoj 35. rodjendan i drzi se dosta dobro za svoje godine. I dalje ultra popularna, sa novim i novim varijantama, aplikacijama, svetlucavim i ogranicenim serijama.

Kljucni dogadjaj koji vezuje gripoznu paniku i njeno peglanje zaslepljujucom slatkocom je naravno Hello Kitty serija lutkica koje je za japansku fabriku lutaka Medicom Toy napravio Dr Romanelli. Dakle, shvatite ovo kao terapiju, upravo sledi uput od doktora.




Dr Romanelli je osmislio ukupno 4 lutkice - dve lutkice sa maskom, Normal i Candy Stripe, i dve ANATOMY lutkice u verzijama Normal i Vintage. Upravo smo zaznali da je Kitty slatka ne samo spolja, nego i iznutra.

Proslava traje i posvete sirom sveta gomilaju se. Kristalna Kitty, pa jedna glow in the dark verzija by Kuntzel&Deygas koja otkriva Cap&Pep-a i adekvatno bizarni tribute by Lady Gaga.

Moj doprinos proslavi je takav da cu prvom prilikom sebi kupiti jedan metalize dusty pink meki privezak na onom centralnom Hello Kitty punktu u Delta City-ju.

FIRST OF ALL, just like my dear homeopathic doctor suggested, i refuse to link to all the terrible new flu buzz that is a few months late and too big here in Serbia right now. After all the first 15 minutes drama in the news, they tell us not to panic. And you know how that goes, even if you're not scared, with them constantly repeating that we shouldn't panic, you come to think that there really is a reason to do just that.

And there is nothing more efficient to ditch that feeling than to look at something colorful and too cute. In other words - Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in a most delightful way.

So - make it kawaii!

The key character in all this Japanese aesthetics of cuteness is surely Hello Kitty. She's not at all my favorite character, especially now when there is a whole bunch of crazy bizarre characters out there. All those yummy foods that got alive and has faces. But, Hello Kitty was the first. This year she's celebrating her 35th birthday and she's holding pretty well, with all the new series, aplications, new shiny and limited editions.

The key event that connects this flu madness and Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary is the doll series made by Dr Romanelli and Medicom Toys. So this is kind of a prescription, the therapy coming up. see images

Dr Romanelli created four Hello Kitties - the two with a mask, in Normal and Candy Stripe versions, and the two named ANATOMY in Normal and Vintage versions. So we just found out that Kitty's cute both inside and out.

The Anniversary celebration is big around the world. A number of artist are contributing. There's crystal Kitty, then glow in the dark one by Kuntzel&Deygas, and properly bizarre Lady Gaga photos.
