Pink Hello Kitty Gun Shoots Real Bullets!

A Wisconsin gun distributor paints guns shades from fuchsia to pink camouflage and even adorns them with Hello Kitty images. Customers from around the country ship their firearms to them for the decorative treatment.

On their own guns are dangerous, but adding cutesie decor to the artillery may prove them to be drop dead gorgeous - especially for kids who mistake them for playthings.

To see what critics and the owner of the gun shop has to say, read more.

Critics say the issue isn't the color of the gun, but the fact that they have been ornamented to look like toys.

Jim Astle from Jim's Gun Supply defended his business on Phoenix's KPNX:

Over 75 percent of customers are law enforcement. . . they're buying them for their wives so they can go to the range and shoot with them. Pink doesn't make it any more deadly than black. That thing should be locked away at all times.

What's your take on these firearms?

Lil Tip: Hanging Jewelry Organizer

LilSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 04:00:31 -0800

For every thing, there's a bit of bling. At least that's the case when it comes to my daughter's wardrobe. She has her own sense of style and doesn't think most outfits are complete until she slips on a necklace, bracelet or ring. I'm all for her fashion independence, but the jewels end up all over the house. A Hello Kitty ring or strand of paste pearls here, a gold baby bracelet or clip-on earring there. And with a curious one-year-old roaming, I wasn't willing to take any chances of him choking after rummaging through the small jewelry boxes she'd been using. To see the solution, read more.

I found this hanging gem ($10) at The Container Store. The 37-pocket jewelry organizer makes it possible for my lil girl to maintain her love of accessories and keep them on the closet rod, safely out of reach from my son.

Lil Tip: Battery Operated Toothbrush

Brush 'em, Brush 'em Brush 'em! Help your child keep her million dollar grin with good dental hygiene. And, that starts with brushing and flossing on a daily basis. My daughter got excited about the task once she selected a Hello Kitty battery operated toothbrush.

Not only does the spinning brush ($5 - $10) seem to clean her teeth better, but she brushes longer. And, it prepared her for the electronic devices at the dentist's office. When she went for her first check-up, she was all smiles.
