the domokun invasion

come thursday and i will be getting my much awaited domokun necklace from kelly. weee!!
i thought a flight to japan is the only way for me to get this kind of bling bling. thanks to binky, i didn't have to wait that long.


binky is an online fashionista seller. i was actually interested in buying a guitar necklace from her multiply site and just wondered if she can make a domokun one. fortunately, and amazingly, she can!


in case you're wondering, domokun is the mascot of japan's nhk television station, appearing in several 30 second stop-motion sketches shown as station identification during shows. he is described on the english-language official website as "a strange creature that hatched from an egg." the name "domo" was acquired during the second episode of his show in which a tv announcer said, "doumo, konnichiwa" which is a formal greeting meaning something along the lines of, "well, hello there!", or "hello, domo!", and thus is a convenient dajare. the kun suffix on "domo-kun" is a friendly title often used with young males. oh and that's kelly's hand modelling her domokun ring. another dream come true for me.

thanks kelly! domokun buddies! ^_^
