When you think of dinosaurs, "cute" might not be the first word that comes to mind. That is, until you see the illustrations of artist Emily Willoughby. Her depiction of a baby megalosauroid dinoperched on a rock by the Bavarian Sea in Germanywas recently dubbed "the cutest dinosaur illustration ever" by io9.Willoughby, who lives in Belle Mead, N.J., said that before making her illustrations she studies everything she can on dinosaurs and their behaviors (and obviously their cute potential). Hello There ...
Today is the bday of my friend Tink and... ME! Having known each other since high school, we do have a similar aesthetic when it comes to a few things, biggest being cute items and Hello Kitty.

Doug had a link to this critter on his Facebook today and I was intrigued... it's a Caracal! They live in Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and India primarily in dry steppes and semi deserts.Caracalprefer open country as long as there is sufficient cover (bushes and rocks) from which to ambush prey. I think the prey must just smile at how adorable these critters are and surrender upon confrontation. Makes sense, right? Hello There Cuties! xxxo
It amazes me how many people I know are unhappy with the Olympics tv coverage this year... don't recall such strong sentiment in previous years. Perhaps something that can re-unite us all in a positive spirit are some Stella McCartney Olympics knickers! Stella is the designer of the UK uniforms this year, and also did this kit for her own line. With the embroidered 2012 rainbow, stars, gymnast, cab, flag and stars of the world, this gets an Olympic-size Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo
Karl Lagerfeld (who we have written of previously) has for many years stated he does not want children. That said, he has fallen in love with a wee kitten namedChoupette. I need not comment further as Karl demonstrates below his love for her (in his extravagant way: “She has lunch and dinner with me on the table, with her own food… She sleeps under a pillow and she even knows how to use an iPad. She has two personal maids, for both night and day. She is beyond spoiled. When I am not there, the maids ...
It's August which for me is the happiest month ever!!! The sun shines extra bright, the birds seem to sing a bit prettier and oh, it's my bday month! Wee hee... August is going to be full of all my fave things: friends, family (a wedding included), gluten free cupcakes from Kara's (subtle hint), presents (another subtle hint), lotsa cute experiences and most of all, celebrating another year. And Hello There Cutie of course. xxxo
In college I was required to take 5 years of art history and learned much (including how to nap while listening) about differentperiods in art. My two faves turned out to be the DaDa and Fluxusmovements, both of which took the everyday and reimagined objects/sounds/experiences. The artistAndrew Lewicki is carrying on this tradition, with pieces like this Oreo Cookie inspired manhole cover above. Wouldn't that be fab to see on your street? Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo
Way back in 2010, we wrote of a movie about the parrots of Telegraph Hill here in SF. These flying friends are rumored to of been escaped pets from the big earthquake and have continued to prosper thru the years. The photo above was posted this morning on Facebook by Lisa, who lives on Nob Hill (one hill over in SF) and is now able to hand feed these adorable flying friends... awww, talk about Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo
This morning I was on the bus home from bootiecamp and saw this posted on my Facebook wall... I think our old comrade Doug is in a Hello There Cutie state of mind today! I know nothing about these salt n pepper shakers except the following: they are adorable and my eye make-up tonite now has an inspiration!!! Hello There Cutie xxxo

Karl has teamed up this time with the fab Japanese make-up line Shu Uemerawith a collection of everything from nail polishes to make-up boxes. To give us a glimpse into the fun that this collaboration will be, the two have made this adorable video called the "Mon Shu Birth Story." Enjoy and Hello There Mon Shu Cutie!!! xxxo
