What do you think about character products?

Q. Does anyone else feel that our lives are being overrun by characters? Why is it that you can't buy anything anymore without it being Hannah Montana, HSM, Dora, Hello Kitty, Bratz, etc??? Why does every McDonald's toy have to be associated with a Disney/Pixar movie? Actually I know the answers - its all marketing and media. It is produced so therefore, the average unthinking American assumes we should buy it. Our kids want it, buy it.

It make me crazy that everything has to have something on it. My kids have somethings that are character - there's no avoiding it. And they love HSM but I put my foot down at redoing their bedrooms or buying bikes or such. Doesn't anyone else see that these things are fads and that next year, you won't be able to find anyone to take that Hannah Montana guitar off your hands and it ends up in a landfill.

Sorry for the ranting.... I just am fed up with all the themes. These kids will never remember a time that their clothing and toys are not associated with some big marketing ploy.

A. Amen!

I'm specifically doing my baby's room in colors or generic animals to avoid starting that crazy trend towards worshiping some animated (or fictional) character!


Wearing Hello Kitty as a teenager?
Q. I started liking Hello Kitty in junior year, and I found it was cute. Now Senior year is about to start. I have about 4 hK (hello kitty) shirts, 2 pairs of hK shoes, a backpack, 2 pairs of hK socks, a necklace, a jacket, and a plush I keep in my room. I'm 17. I dunno, is that a bit much? Do any of you wear hK stuff as a teenager?

A. No, its not too much..

Girls that like hello kitty turn into women that like hello kitty, and I am one :)

The thing is, to keep it right for your age group, and considering you are 17, what you have is very appropriate..

I am in my early 20s and still love hello kitty, I have a swarovski crystal necklace of her, a laptop bag, wallet, and several shirts and sweaters. I had stationary, pens, t-shirts, and bedroom accessories with her on it when i was your age. I have loved hello kitty since elementary school.

Whoever said its for kids only is being a bit extreme. I know other adults, old enough to be my parents age who still like cartoon characters. My godmother LOVES Snoopy and she just turned 62 years old. The thing is, instead of her having the character all over her bedroom, she has it on her favorite coffee cup, or house slippers.
BTW, there are other grown women who LOVE hello kitty, if their weren't Kimora Lee Simmons would have never made her hello kitty jewelry line, Swarovski crystal company would not have released 2 lines of jewelry for hello kitty.. all of these things were made for adults who like hello kitty. I can go on and on...
So, keep liking what you like, just dont let it consume you...
