The first month of 2012 is already over! And what a month it was! A month that saw us meet a happy &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/happy-not-grumpy-new-year.html" target="_self"&gt;Grumpy Mascot&lt;/a&gt;, a skinny &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/chocolate-no-more.html" target="_self"&gt;Greedy Mascot&lt;/a&gt;, and even an upgraded &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/gadget-upgrade.html" target="_self"&gt;Gadget Mascot&lt;/a&gt;! And what about all those super cool designers we met, like &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/cute-and-cool-kannaya.html" target="_self"&gt;Kannaya&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/lets-all-wear-it-cuter.html" target="_self"&gt;Wear It Cuter&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/brilliant-beata-viscera.html" target="_self"&gt;Beata Viscera&lt;/a&gt; to name a few! And let’s not forget our &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/hat-hullabaloo-loco-mascot.html" target="_self"&gt;monthly puzzle&lt;/a&gt;! Did you work out which hat belonged to the Loco Mascot?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XC92B0T-mjQ/TyWAaPkgifI/AAAAAAAAA8I/sp3p8r4urMQ/s400/PuzzleJanuary2012_02.jpg" border="0" title="Did you work out which hat belonged to the Loco Mascot?" alt="Did you work out which hat belonged to the Loco Mascot?"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703105691479214578" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing, it was Hat B! Who’d have thought, huh? Anyway, folks, that’s all for this month. And sadly, due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances, that’s also all for the KawaiiPunk blog for the time being. But don’t be too upset, you can still get your kawaii fix over at the KawaiiPunk &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/kawaiipunk" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; page - provided I can get my fellow mascots to use it that is! And hopefully we’ll all be right back here later in the year, blogging away bigger and better than ever! But in the meantime - a big thank you to all of our wonderful readers who have supported us over the past three years, and remember… whatever you do, keep it kawaii!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you all soon.&lt;br /&gt;Your host with the most,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ed Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-1145970498759741580?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/monthly-round-up-january-2012.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XC92B0T-mjQ/TyWAaPkgifI/AAAAAAAAA8I/sp3p8r4urMQ/s72-c/PuzzleJanuary2012_02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-2380392177438810140</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-30T00:08:00.377Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>readers' art</category><title>Toyah is Tops!</title><description>&lt;img height="50" title="Readers' Art" alt="Readers' Art" src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogReadersArt.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Stereo Mascot,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may remember back in September of 2009 I sent you a fantastic piece of readers’ art. (Re. &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2009/09/masterful-musical-masterpiece.html" target="_self"&gt;Masterful Musical Masterpiece!&lt;/a&gt;) Well, guess what? Yip, that’s right, today I’m sending you another such amazing artwork for you and your readers to enjoy! And, once again, it has absolutely nothing to do with KawaiiPunk or kawaii whatsoever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WRGiVJzjh9E/TyV-U3oG48I/AAAAAAAAA78/s-jpFRmIV8E/s400/PicturesOfToyah.jpg" border="0" title="It's post punk singing sensation Toyah!" alt="It's post punk singing sensation Toyah!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703103400129258434" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stunning stuff, wouldn’t you agree? It’s a couple of pictures of post punk singing sensation Toyah, taken from the September 4th 1982 edition of TV Tops which, at the time, claimed to be “Britain’s best TV comic!” - although I’m pretty sure the good folks at Look-in would have had something to say about that boast! Anyway… once again I cannot actually claim credit for these wonderful works of art, as they were drawn by Gillian Jones of Manchester and Andrew Payne from Bexhill-on-Sea, who won a staggering £5 and £2 respectively for their efforts! Lucky them, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours retrospectively,&lt;br /&gt;Matthew Masterson. Aged 36.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="50" title="Stereo Mascot replies..." alt="Stereo Mascot replies..." src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogStereoReply.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow! Thanks Matthew! Another fantastic slice of pop history for us all to enjoy! And another mystery as to what that lucky pair spent their winnings on!

Which sound pretty good to me! But, having said that, I couldn’t help wondering what happens in a couple of months time when all these gadgets become obsolete. And for that matter… what happens to you? Can you guess where I’m going with this? That’s right! It’s time for another mascot makeover…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rr79BZeNrY0/Txm_u96pz1I/AAAAAAAAA7k/f84C2xvzPNw/s400/GadgetMakeover.jpg" border="0" title="It's a Gadget Mascot makeover!" alt="It's a Gadget Mascot makeover!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699797617029533522" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tada! You see, to counteract your impending obsolescence I’ve given you an amazing makeover to make sure you stay competitive in the high paced world of electronic gadgets. And how have I done this? Simple! I’ve repackaged you in different colouring and slashed your cost by a staggering $9990! Now you’re only worth $9.99! That should keep you sitting pretty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always thinking,&lt;br /&gt;Tamara Tallulah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="50" title="Gadget Mascot replies..." alt="Gadget Mascot replies..." src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogGadgetReply.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well Tamara, I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but I think you have actually managed to outdo yourself with this one!

It’s puzzle time! And not just any puzzle, but the very first puzzle of 2012! How cool is that? I bet you all can’t wait to see what kind of brain teasing treat I’ve got lined up for you! Well wait no more, folks, because here it comes! And who is the star of this latest puzzle? Why, it’s none other than our very own Loco Mascot…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I_7KXAz8ha4/Txm-qK2vrBI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/QWaDsLrIGnI/s400/PuzzleJanuary2012_01.jpg" border="0" title="Can you work out which hat belongs to the Loco Mascot?" alt="Can you work out which hat belongs to the Loco Mascot?"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699796435091827730" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; You see, it looks like the Loco Mascot has misplaced his hat. No surprise there, huh? But luckily he had the foresight to take a picture of his hat, just in case this very situation arose! Unfortunately, being the Loco Mascot and all, he also took a picture of three other hats that have nothing to do with him whatsoever! So the question is… can you work out which one of the hats actually belongs to the Loco Mascot? Find out if you chose the right hat when the answer is revealed in this month’s monthly round-up! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy hunting,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Puzzle Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-4448250857766561086?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/hat-hullabaloo-loco-mascot.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I_7KXAz8ha4/Txm-qK2vrBI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/QWaDsLrIGnI/s72-c/PuzzleJanuary2012_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-4052921479268754651</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-20T00:03:00.516Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>kawaii shops</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>kawaii crafts</category><title>Euphoria Doria Gives You More-ia!</title><description>&lt;img height="50" title="written by Imp Mascot" alt="written by Imp Mascot" src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogImpBy.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhh… fun! Where would we be without it? Probably hanging out with the Grumpy Mascot! Tee-hee! But seriously, can you imagine a world without fun? A world without laughter? A world without smiles? Doesn’t bear thinking about, does it? Well, thankfully, I’ve managed to find a happy little shop that will keep all of our lives fun filled and frown free!

It’s called Euphoria Doria and, if you ask me, it’s probably the most fun filled shop we’ve ever featured! At &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EuphoriaDoria" target="_blank"&gt;Euphoria Doria&lt;/a&gt; you can buy super cute accessories featuring a whole host of adorable characters that are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face - including Barbie, Miss Piggy, and even Hello Kitty!

(Re. &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/chocolate-no-more.html" target="_self"&gt;Chocolate No More!&lt;/a&gt;) Well, to say I was incensed by this correspondence would without doubt be the biggest understatement of the century! I mean really… asking you, the Greedy Mascot, to give up chocolate? Pure madness! And so, to counteract this absurdity, I created this…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_aNbtA0OLBw/TxDjKe0rz7I/AAAAAAAAA7A/G_67gGx-IoU/s400/EatingChocolate.jpg" border="0" title="It's a chocolate filled Greedy Mascot!" alt="It's a chocolate filled Greedy Mascot!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697303297835913138" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that’s right, it’s a picture of what I imagine you to look like after having eaten all of the chocolates in the entire world! After all, surely that’s a much more likely scenario to occur than the prospect of you giving up those deliciously tasty and tempting treats!

After all, it’s less than a month to go until Valentines Day, and I know I’m going to partying hard when that rolls around! And then there’s all those birthday parties I’ll have to attend! And house warmings! And parties for the sake of parties!

Can you guess what I’m talking about? It’s going to happen in just over a month’s time? You might be marking it by sending a card? Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about Valentines Day…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zazzle.com/kawaiipunk*" target="_self"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EwiNgVEJNG0/TwdNo4rx9oI/AAAAAAAAA6o/AWZqv17nt6A/s400/SweetValentinesCard.jpg" border="0" title="It's a Sweet Mascot Valentine card!" alt="It's a Sweet Mascot Valentine card!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694605618639402626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what better way to celebrate this wonderful day than with a beautiful card featuring me! What? We’re all allowed to blow our own trumpets now and again, aren’t we :) Anyway, you can buy these amazing cards at the KawaiiPunk &lt;a href="http://www.zazzle.com/kawaiipunk*" target="_self"&gt;Zazzle&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/kawaiipunk" target="_self"&gt;CafePress&lt;/a&gt; shops and I reckon they’d be absolutely perfect for that big day gesture! Although I suppose you could always go for one of my colleagues like the Lovestruck, Cute, or Adorable Mascots.

And if you ask me, that’s the best kind of shop in the world! So, do you want to see what it looks like? Good, because here it is…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zazzle.com/beataviscera" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ApgVcsFc3R0/TwdMQDsOo6I/AAAAAAAAA6c/7Mz3hix7wsA/s400/BeataViscera.jpg" border="0" title="Beata Viscera at Zazzle" alt="Beata Viscera at Zazzle"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694604092585714594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See, I told you it was cool!

Don’t panic, it’s not a marriage proposal or anything! It’s actually about chocolate. You see, for my new year’s resolution I’ve decided I’m going to give up chocolate, and thought perhaps you might like to do the same. In fact, I’ve even prepared this image to give you an idea of what you may look like if you choose to join me…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hrkqk7IQGo4/TwdKUzkijJI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/XI9nv3Lwltw/s400/GivingUpChocolate.jpg" border="0" title="It's the Greedy Mascot on a chocolate free diet!" alt="It's the Greedy Mascot on a chocolate free diet!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694601975134588050" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty nifty, don’t you think? I reckon if the two of us were to give up chocolate together it would be a lot easier for both of us. We can offer support to each other in our shared dietary endeavour, and provide a comforting and sympathetic ear when the inevitable chocolate temptation undoubtedly strikes. It all sounds like a good idea, wouldn’t you agree?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours hopefully (and hungrily!),&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer Bayle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="50" title="Greedy Mascot replies..." alt="Greedy Mascot replies..." src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogGreedyReply.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well Jennifer, I have to say… yes, I do agree! That does sound like a good idea - well thought out with impeccable logic! But there is just one small problem! I’m the Greedy Mascot, and I ain’t giving up chocolate for no one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck flying solo,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greedy Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-6835122457529493761?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/chocolate-no-more.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hrkqk7IQGo4/TwdKUzkijJI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/XI9nv3Lwltw/s72-c/GivingUpChocolate.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-1435557845031979117</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-06T00:11:00.368Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>kawaii shops</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>kawaii crafts</category><title>Let’s All Wear It Cuter!</title><description>&lt;img height="50" title="written by Cute Mascot" alt="written by Cute Mascot" src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogCuteBy.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great news everyone! And no, I’m not talking about my first appearance of 2012! Although, now that I think about it, that is pretty good news! Tee hee! No, I’m talking about the fantastically cute shop I’ve just found over at Etsy. Want to see it? Of course you do! So let’s have a look! It’s called Wear It Cuter, and it looks a little something like this…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/wearitcuter" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1prtmd7H1L4/Tv56_Nx6bEI/AAAAAAAAA6E/8sglGyD4u10/s400/WearItCuter.jpg" border="0" title="Wear It Cuter at Etsy" alt="Wear It Cuter at Etsy"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692122205492243522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See what I mean? Absolutely amazing, isn’t it? At the &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/wearitcuter" target="_blank"&gt;Wear It Cuter&lt;/a&gt; shop you can buy utterly adorable necklaces, earrings, charms, bracelets, rings and more. And, as if that wasn’t enough to get your kawaii loving hearts racings, it’s also packed with lots of your favourite cute characters too, including Hello Kitty, My Melody Bunny, and even Blythe! Isn’t that just the coolest!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always keeping it cute,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cute Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-1435557845031979117?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/lets-all-wear-it-cuter.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1prtmd7H1L4/Tv56_Nx6bEI/AAAAAAAAA6E/8sglGyD4u10/s72-c/WearItCuter.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-5860205423995902259</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-04T00:05:01.320Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>readers' art</category><title>Happy Not Grumpy New Year!</title><description>&lt;img height="50" title="Readers' Art" alt="Readers' Art" src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogReadersArt.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Grumpy Mascot,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m writing to you in an effort to cheer you up. You see, having thoroughly enjoyed the recent festive season, and all the parties that go with it, I’ve decided my new years resolution will be to make people smile. And what better place to start this endeavour than with your own grumpy self! Which brings me to this…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l3NbEuzXjHg/Tv53yDzB2BI/AAAAAAAAA54/7KfypgyGTXY/s400/HappyGrumpyMascot.jpg" border="0" title="Happy New Year Grumpy Mascot!" alt="Happy New Year Grumpy Mascot!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692118680939386898" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yip, that’s right, it’s a picture I’ve drawn of yourself with a big old smile on your face, and I’ve even placed it on a Danger Mouse comic strip to pack in a bit more fun! I know, it is a work of genius, isn’t it! Anyway, I do hope this astounding artistic effort cheers you up a bit and gets your new year off to a suitably smiley start!

And who better to do that than my own sweet self! What? I’m only saying what everyone’s thinking :) Anyway, for my first kawaii pick of 2012 I’ve decided to take a trip to RedBubble, and I’m pretty sure you’ll all be very glad I did! So, without any further ado, I present to you the incredibly cute world of Kannaya…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/kannaya/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tFrePpIkowg/Tv52e5LsMsI/AAAAAAAAA5s/JjslxQvtiug/s400/Kannaya.jpg" border="0" title="Kannaya at RedBubble" alt="Kannaya at RedBubble"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692117252160893634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See what I mean? &lt;a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/kannaya/" target="_blank"&gt;Kannaya&lt;/a&gt; is an artist and designer that specialises in creating beautifully unique vector graphics and illustrations. And at her Redbubble store you can buy these amazing creations on t-shirts, stickers, and cards. Which, if you ask me, sounds like a very good way to get 2012 off to a super kawaii start! Wouldn’t you agree?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your cute and clever friend,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweet Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-4660295927126067244?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2012/01/cute-and-cool-kannaya.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tFrePpIkowg/Tv52e5LsMsI/AAAAAAAAA5s/JjslxQvtiug/s72-c/Kannaya.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-2261890612088194752</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-01T00:01:03.235Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>horoscopes</category><title>Horoscopes for January 2012</title><description>&lt;img src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogMysticBy.jpg" title="written by Mystic Mascot" alt="written by Mystic Mascot" width="512" height="50"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhhh… the mists clear and the spirits return. What wonders will they reveal to us this month. And will they be spreading some new year joy? There’s only one way to find out…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aries&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Mar 21 - Apr 20&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new year could see great opportunities coming your way. Although it’s much more likely to be the same old, same old! Sorry about that!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polyester (PES)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Taurus&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Apr 21 - May 21&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sticking to that new year’s resolution you made might prove difficult this month.

Well, the holiday season has to end some time!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polyurethanes (PU)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cancer&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Jun 23 - Jul 23&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t waste your time thinking about what could have been this month - it’s pointless! Besides, your new regret should be more than enough to keep you busy!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polyethylene (PE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Jul 24 - Aug 23&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember: a January sale bargain is only a bargain if it’s something you need! 3 for 2 lawnmowers are seldom a wise purchase! You have been warned!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Virgo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Aug 24 - Sep 23&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The return to normality after the festive madness may seem like a welcome relief, but don’t get too complacent! There’s less than a year to go till the next one!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Libra&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Sep 24 - Oct 23&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now’s a good time to make some big changes in your life if you’ve been thinking of making some big changes in your life. But a bad time if you haven’t!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: High-density polyethylene (HDPE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scorpio&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Oct 24 - Nov 22&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month your horoscope prediction will be a pointless statement that doesn’t really go anywhere and is thoroughly uninsightful! Still, at least it’s honest!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polystyrene (PS)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sagittarius&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Nov 23 - Dec 21&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confusing what you want with what you need could spell your downfall this month! So you’ll need to think of what you need to want to find the solution you need!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Capricorn&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Dec 22 - Jan 20&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it’s true a joke can be a good way to lighten an awkward moment, it only really works well if that joke is funny. Remember this if you want to avoid an even more awkward moment!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aquarius&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Jan 21 - Feb 19&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A decision made in haste could have big ramifications in your life this month. So avoid making decisions in haste! Unless you like big ramifications, that is!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polypropylene (PP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pisces&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Feb 20 - Mar 20&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing news! This month all horoscope predictions will apply specifically to you! So now you can read them all and take your pick! How cool is that?&lt;br /&gt;Lucky plastic: Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhhh… the mists return and the spirits depart once more. And it looks like the new year joy is in scant supply! But then again, what did you expect?

Looking back on the year that’s just passed and wondering about what could have been. Well, not me! Oh no! The only thing I’m thinking about as this year comes to a close is how much I’m going to be partying on December 31st! And, with a name like Disco Mascot, I’m pretty sure you’ll be thinking the exact same thing! Which brings me to this…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-STHeWw75L5Y/TvUe19G7_DI/AAAAAAAAA5U/stsZwtzDwmM/s400/DiscoDiary.jpg" border="0" title="It's the 2012 Disco Diary!" alt="It's the 2012 Disco Diary!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689487616538049586" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, much in the same way that puppies aren’t just for Christmas, I’m of the opinion that parties aren’t just for New Years! And what better way to keep track of all these parties than with a super cool diary featuring your own sweet self! Good idea, isn’t it? And one that I reckon could really take off with party animals everywhere! What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Party on,&lt;br /&gt;Dave “The Dancer” Doodlebug!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="50" title="Disco Mascot replies..." alt="Disco Mascot replies..." src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogDiscoReply.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, that’s not a bad idea, Dave! And the illustration is pretty sweet too! Although there is one slight problem… for true party animals, everyday is a party!

(Re. &lt;a href="http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2011/12/present-problem.html" target="_self"&gt;Present Problem!&lt;/a&gt;) Well, I’m happy to report that, after following the advice you gave me, I managed to solve that little problem with ease! And so, as a way to say thank you for your sound advice, I decided I would give you a little something in return. And here it is…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DL80qPhOgYk/TvUbRmdAUpI/AAAAAAAAA48/KVmHodNxXtw/s400/ThankYouSneaky.jpg" border="0" title="Thank you Sneaky Mascot!" alt="Thank you Sneaky Mascot!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689483693446419090" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yip, that’s right, it’s a drawing of your own sneaky self penned by my own happy hands! Thank you! And, in case you’re wondering, the piece of advice I used to solve my problem was tip number 5: “The grandparent solution!” And I don’t mind telling you, it worked an absolute treat! Although I’m pretty sure you already knew it would! After all, you are the Sneaky Mascot :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks again,&lt;br /&gt;Wendy Masterson.

And I’m not just talking about any old party! I’m talking about the annual KawaiiPunk Christmas Party! Yippee! But what did you do this year, I hear you all eagerly ask! Well, after the success of the 2009 hill walking party, not to mention the joy of the 2010 hill walking party, I decided that 2011 needed to be something really special. Can you guess what that was?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BACzmdFXJ5E/TuvSKZ6CRlI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/rU4GQlbLvbI/s400/KawaiiPunkChristmasParty2011.jpg" border="0" title="It's the KawaiiPunk Christmas party 2011!" alt="It's the KawaiiPunk Christmas party 2011!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686870030680213074" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s right, I decided to treat my colleagues to another incredible hill walking party! And, oh boy, didn’t they just love it! “No!” yelled the Grumpy Mascot, in what I can only assume was disbelief that such a fun filled day out awaited him! “This is ridiculous!” declared the Junior Mascot, undoubtedly in amazement at my wondrous gift! And even the ever serious Serious Mascot was so overcome with emotion, he simply reached up to the heavens and screamed! Absolutely beautiful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always thinking of others,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ed Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-704067570109736967?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2011/12/kawaiipunk-christmas-party-2011.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BACzmdFXJ5E/TuvSKZ6CRlI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/rU4GQlbLvbI/s72-c/KawaiiPunkChristmasParty2011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-2324282523640238498</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-16T00:08:00.791Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>kawaii shops</category><title>Cool!

An unenviable task, and one I have absolutely no interest in helping you out with whatsoever! Well, what did you expect? Christmas shopping tips from a zombie? Get real! The only reason I’m here is to inject a bit of much needed horror into these festive proceedings! So let’s get started…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/curua" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-srSVGZJxNP4/TuFgrm74oLI/AAAAAAAAA4M/JfJVgY0wQag/s400/Curua.jpg" border="0" title="Curua at RedBubble" alt="Curua at RedBubble"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683930507020640434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you are looking at above are just some of the gruesomely good goodies available from the creepily cool Curua! And at the &lt;a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/curua" target="_blank"&gt;Curua&lt;/a&gt; RedBubble store you can pick up these dreamily dread-filled designs on all manner of clothing and stickers! And, I’m more than happy to report, it’s got more than its fair share of zombie designs among them! Marvellous! Merry Christmas, everybody! Mwah ha ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your horrid holiday helper,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zombie Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-2324282523640238498?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2011/12/cool-creepy-curua.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-srSVGZJxNP4/TuFgrm74oLI/AAAAAAAAA4M/JfJVgY0wQag/s72-c/Curua.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786670858834779167.post-7548886317323721716</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-14T00:06:00.136Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>readers' emails</category><title>Kawaiification! Berry Bonanza!</title><description>&lt;img height="50" title="Readers' Emails" alt="Readers' Emails" src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogReadersEmails.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir/Madam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Christmas fast approaching I figured now would be a good time to share with you and your wonderful readers a festive piece of kawaiification. After all, if the festive season isn’t a fitting time for putting happy little faces on things, then when is! And so, after thinking long and hard about what I should kawaiify, I finally decided the perfect Christmas treat would be this…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b8cKMFUItVQ/TuFfOmJYnRI/AAAAAAAAA4A/0ALDhFIRmzE/s400/KawaiifiedHollyBerries.jpg" border="0" title="It's some kawaiified holly berries!" alt="It's some kawaiified holly berries!"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683928909080993042" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that’s right, it’s some kawaiified holly berries! Granted, it is a somewhat predictable choice, but I reckon it’s a decidedly fitting one nonetheless! After all, isn’t Christmas a time for tradition and fun? I know it is at my house! Anyway, I do hope you enjoy this festive piece of kawaiification, and I also hope you and your readers have a wonderfully fun filled Christmas when it finally arrives! Merry Christmas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Justice Smithering Smythe (retired)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="50" title="Ed Mascot replies..." alt="Ed Mascot replies..." src="http://www.kawaiipunk.com/assets/BlogEdReply.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply incredible! It appears that once again you have produced another absolute stunner, Mr. Justice Smithering Smythe! Kawaiified holly berries! Just perfect! But then again, given your previous creations, I’ve come to expect noting less!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to you too,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ed Mascot :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4786670858834779167-7548886317323721716?l=blog.kawaiipunk.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kawaiipunk.com/2011/12/kawaiification-berry-bonanza.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KawaiiPunk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b8cKMFUItVQ/TuFfOmJYnRI/AAAAAAAAA4A/0ALDhFIRmzE/s72-c/KawaiifiedHollyBerries.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
