Cutesy Overload - Prue 05/28/2009
With today's Daily Fluff focusing on Sesame Street, it seems like a light kiddie theme is appropriate for the blog today. So it is with a great big scoop of "Hmmmm," that I present the world's first Hello Kitty-themed hospital. (In Taiwan, of course. Thanks to K for the link.):  Because nothing says, 'Don't worry about the fact that your newborn is in the NICU,' like a cartoon cat with a giant head and no visible emotion.  Despite years of therapy, John was never able to explain the source of his fetish for dressing kittens in tiny dresses.  What's really amazing is that the catheter bags are shaped like little Hello Kitty heads too. Confession time: I actually really like Hello Kitty stuff. I can't help it--it may be genetic. I may or may not own various Hello Kitty accessories. But I don't think that there's any commercially available product that I like enough to choose to be surrounded by it while in labor. Seeing it in a maternity ward just seems like a cruel reminder that you're about to push something with a giant head out of a comparatively small opening. So no, not soothing at all.
