Hola Kitty Kat!

Wow, Hello Kitty is quite a blast from the blast, eh? We received a donation of a bunch of Hello Kitty loot today to use as giveaways for an upcoming event. All of us girls were "ooo-ing" and "ahh-ing" over all the fun stuff inside as we reminisced on fond childhood memories filled with pink pencils, erasers and trapper keepers covered with the friendly kitty face.

One of my coworkers, however, was NOT THRILLED about the donation we received. Reason being: we got a hello kitty vaccuum cleaner and kitchen set. Harmless I felt at first. But not to her. Well, she was actually joking...but brought up an interesting point. She argued that products like these just worsen gender stereotypes even further and keep women "barefoot and pregnant" in the kitchen. She said there needed to be a "GI Joe" vaccuum to even out the score. Now THAT I would buy. I do love a vaccuum in uniform ;)

Yeah, bad joke. I know. Give me a break though, it's the end of the day.
