Cheap Chic: Barcode Kitties!
If you read the piece on Ugly Dolls (and if you haven’t, you should!)–or know me well– great fashion doesn’t have to be expensive. It’s all about the attitude in which you wear things. Fashion is about styleL you can wear something or –heaven forbid– something wears you. It’s your choice. Humor is always appropriate.
Barcode Kitties™ are this hot little line of cute accessories that shows a sort of tongue in cheek humor with a definitely nod to the less serious side of fashion while still paying homage to couture. Perfect for the young at heart as well as those who are just plain young– these baubles, accessories and choice cosmetics are killer from age 5 to well beyond 50. It’s all about your perspective. Fashion should be fun.. not serious.
The Barcode Kitties™ were born out of Yoji Tanimoto’s chief obsessions: Japanese pop culture and the globalization of art and commerce. Tanimoto began to imagine a fantastical world of adorable, mutant felines born with barcode woven into their whiskers and manes, and able to scratch barcode into any product.
How much easier his life would be with such talented pets!
The Barcode Kitties™ — the unexpected– but happy–result of an efficiency experiment gone awry — live in Barcode City. Each has amusing idiosyncrasies. They remain true to the barcode “code” — always helping out even when it’s hard, and staying best friends forever. The Kitties do their best to discipline their unusual talents to help meet the Barcode City efficiency goals: scratching barcode
into every product in the world.
They also try to keep a mischievous gang of mice — the Glitches — at bay. The Kitties are very loyal, and hate to be separated from each other. When they do go astray, Kitties can always track each other down through the barcode in their whiskers.
Celebrities agree that the "cute" factor plays a huge role in what they wear and love. And what they are lovin’ lately is Barcode Kitties™ A take-off on the kitty- themed products, this is a step-up with a more fashion-related theme and a broad range of accessories, jewelry and a few tasty cosmetics tossed in for good measure.
