Fetch! Atta Boy At-At

We already had one look at robotic pet dogs, but filmmaker Patrick Boivin has upped the ante. He turned a toy Imperial Walker into a jedi’s best friend. He’s even polite enough to properly dispose of the jabba. Watch the video below. It’s a wonderful At-At Day Afternoon!

We <3-fully believe that technocuddly pets are the best. And there are plenty of strays still available. If this guy was adopted, perhaps he would not be so gloomy.

Hic Hello Kitty Hic

Sippy sip! How much do I want this Hello Kitty wine? I can’t help it, I even like my booze kawaii. And when the bottle is all drunk up, you can keep the charm. The Veuve Clicquot Chinese New Year silk knot may be more elegant, but it’s not this cute! Just my luck now that Dubai has retracted its ban on cooking with alcohol, the Hello Kitty wine website is currently closed for maintenance due to insatiable demand. I’m still desperately seeking suzette.

Here are some tasting notes for the four types:

Hello Kitty Sparkling Brut Rosé – A deep reddish pink sparkling rose made from 100% Pinot Noir that has a frothy mousse as well as a pretty nose of rose petal and red currant scents.

Hello Kitty Sparkling “Sweet Pink” (Half Size) – This semi-sweet sparkler sports a pale pink hue and has very delicate bubbles.

2008 Hello Kitty Angel White – This is a fresh, very “blanc” white wine made entirely from Pinot Noir free run juice.

2006 Hello Kitty Devil Red – Garnet red with brickish highlights, this is a classically rendered Pinot Noir that presents a seductive bouquet of wild flowers and forest aromas.

Check out McG’s video of Kirsten Dunst in full on sailor moon cosplay, produced by Takashi Murakami, the Superflat artist and Vuitton visionaire. I most enjoyed the wtf faces of the tokyo street kids. Takashi Murakami did great with product placement; I see his blossom flowers everywhere. But poor Kiki looked much better dancing in Bring It On.

Javant Garde Meets Cute with Harajuku

The Washington DC Textile Museum is showing a Contemporary Japanese Fashion exhibit. To kick it off, they teamed up with T-MODE, the organizers of anime and gamer convetions. The result was haute couture combined with cosplay, which results in a harajuku fashion show. It’s interesting to see the influences of design greats such as Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto get filtered down to the likes of Angelic Pretty and MA/MAM. But the inspiration goes both ways, and its undeniable that runways have long been borrowing from street style. Check out the pretty kitty cat walk, but watch out like all goth lolita fash, its got claws!




Hello Kitty Gets Grounded

Set to be discontinued by the end of the year, a ride on the Hello Kitty Airbus 330 is too cute to miss. Currently being used on short routes in Taiwan, EVA has Hello Kitty themed everything, while most airlines start and start with a plane wrap:

You know how cute japanese cakes are…kittify them and lo! A meal almost too cute to eat (even hello Kitty cucumber — do our eyes lie?):

They already took one of two Hello Kitty planes out of service, and the last one will likely go at the end of this year. So don’t wait too long. But even if you had to do some waiting around to board that flight, it wouldn’t be interminable in this adorbz room:
