UGLY BETTY X HELLO KITTY ?!?!

It's officially the hottest day of the summer so far!  I hit the beach today and tanned under 103 degree-weather sun for a little darkening action. The water was surprisingly freezing, but overall refreshing, and the day is only going to get better with some Toy Story 3!
Enough about that though, let's get on with this week's goodies!

*********************
A recent follow on Twitter, @MannyUncanny, tweeted this the other day:
"Keane has a Track thts Half in Japanese. Its rare when my worlds collide like this..wonder how many people knw just how complete my life is."
No better way to describe the feeling I got when I discovered this!

Hello Kitty X Ugly Betty.

This isn't everyday Shanis world here, so where exactly did this feline brace face come from?
Well for one thing, disappointingly she's NOT for sale, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't exist, but imagine if she did?! :3 What a happy Tenoli I would be.
This isn't the only Hello Kitty Collab; check out the other ones on SneakerFreaker.

I owe this amazing discovery to MaterialKillers who I've been following on Tumblr for quite some time now. Although I'm not a fan of every single one of their posts, I really dig some of their sneaker updates and of course occasional Japan oriented posts like this Hello Kitty one!


Speaking of Hello Kitty, beaches, and hot weather, reminds me of the cooler I saw on Thrillist yesterday. Why? Well remember that HK boombox bag I mentioned back a few months ago? Well think of this as a cooler that plays tunes from your Mp3 player but lacks of HK's tenoli face
I'd recommend giving Thrillist a peep-sies before brushing it off.

Since we're on the topic of music, I'll make mention of a post I'll be working on for next Music Monday. One word - "FLASH". If any of you can tell me what that's about, well then you'll know what artist's new album I'll be covering next week! :3

Hope you're all enjoying the summer weather!

サイレント図書館 ( SILENT LIBRARY! )

MTV, the once all time music video channel, has become the go-to for some of the most retarded reality TV shows today, but I have to admit that I spent at least 3 hours last Wednesday watching SILENT LIBRARY.

Silent Library is a "japanese" tv show where 20-something year olds agree to let themselves test their torture resilience for a cash prize; of course since all of this is happening inside of a library you're expected to suffer in silence, I mean how else are the people trying to read and study around you supposed to get anything done?
Oh and just because you don't bellow out in pain doesn't mean you automatically win the cash for that round, all your other teammates need to keep their hyena laughter to a minimum as well.
Besides all the insane challenges, the Japanese host, with the straight face and corny phrases, makes things more amusing.
"Your determination is admirable; you win the cash."
"You failed me, no money!"




On another note, did you know the Ken Wantanabe is going to be in Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION? Leonardo DiCaprio has become my new Denzel Washington; basically, whenever I hear that Denzel has a new movie, I know right then and there that it's a MUST SEE. Do any of you have any actors you feel that way about?



I'm contemplating updating in between Tenoli Tuesday posts - we'll see how it goes. In the meantime check out my Tumblr - www.tenoli.tumblr.com

It's officially summer! How are you enjoying the first week?
