kuromi is totally cute.

Someone gave me a gift certificate to MyPaperCrane! :D so I got something for my mom for her birthday. XD

guess what the sanrio store had which perfectly fit my new pink razr?

the answer of course, is charmy kitty celphone case, and charmy kitty matching celphone stickers! A.J. gave the absolutely to-die-for Novala-designed Hello Kitty celphone charm.
Also, my camera is now covered in pink jewels and charmy kitty. (fear me!)


I was dissappointed however when I jovially talked to the store owner (Sanrio at the mall) and mentioned that I LOVED Kuromi and I wished she had some Kuromi! She said that she didn't get it in her store because some people said Kuromi looked "too evil" and "not cute". You'd think in this age of goth being more mainstream, and people liking evil things like BRATZ* that something as innocent as Kuromi (who is TOTALLY CUTE!!!) wouldn't frighten people! Poop! I guess I will have to watch sanrio.com to see if they get more Kuromi stuff. (I totally should have stockpiled on Kuromi when I went to japan!)
(Kuromi = My Melody's dark friend)
* Bratz now has a really badly animated 3d tv show. I feel like the earth needs cleansing via blow torch.

I hear you on the Bratz thing...ugh.

Do they turn every pile'o poop into even poopier 3D nowadays?
That Kuromi character looks cute by the way. The folks at your local Sanrio store are nutcases.

the owner is so nice! but I wonder about some of her customers!

I hate bratz enough without it being a tv show of any kind... much less a bad 3d one.

Then those customers suck! What are those people on...
I feel with you about the Bratz thing. I find the characters horrible beyond description.

Why they keep going with those hideous Bratz, I dunno. :P

I like Kuromi!! Evil one looks so awesome!! I'd want it!! :( Too evil?? Sheesh, I'm a pansy and I don't find that too evil!

I looooove the cellphone cases! *squee!*

I can't believe people would say Kuromi looks evil but those Bratz Babies posing with their diapered butts stuck out 'sexily' is perfectly okay. *horf*

I love Kuromi-chan too~~~~ When I went to Japan last year, she had just come out in stores and I had to hold myself back from buying everything (although, I did end up buying some things). ;oD

Yes... bratz the show should be set a glow...

terrible animation combined with terrible voice overs and plots... that are supposed to be education teenage situations to help educate the minds of the 5 years old who both watch and actually own the dolls. *sigh* a good show could be in the time slot :(

Kuromi is adorable!
I'm not sure if this site will help you out at all but it seems to have a little bit of Kuromi stuff:

(by stuff I didn't mean merchandise btw, I haven't looked that deep into it and my japanese is soooo out of practice! XD)
But it may be worth looking at for fun.

So that's what she's called. She's all over the place in Japan right now, haha.
