All About: Howdy!

Howdy!

Year Created: 1977

Whoever said that cowboys are mean and solitary haven't met this bear from the west. If his cheery round face and his bright eyes don't make others warm up to him, his heart as big as the great outdoors will.

Howdy's trademark is his bright red bowtie, as well as his legendary ability to make people feel all warm and fuzzy, bordering on being magical.

Dream Studio Video of the Week!

Have you ever thought of combining Sanrio, a great source of cuteness, with other adorable items? denisenubla certainly did, and it's her work that we chose as this week's Dream Studio video of the week at SanrioTown!





Kawaii Stuff is a video that is all about cuteness. Not only does it feature fun (and sometimes yummy!) things like ice cream, candies, stationery, and stickers, but it also has favorite and well-loved Sanrio characters appearing with these items, sometimes even posing with these in their cameo appearances.

As you watch the video, cool background music also plays, as though you're really watching a music video.

Blog of the Week!

People go in and out of SanrioTown every day, all of whom are definitely huge fans of Sanrio, no matter which character they like the most. However, there will always be the trademark that the company has, the icon that they're most known (and loved) for: Hello Kitty!

This week's featured blog is definitely a Hello Kitty fan. "Chryssy's Kitty Mania" is most definitely an online journal of a Kitty lover. From making petitions and community groups for Hello Kitty, to posting her favorite items with the white kitten's face emblazoned on it, to online dolls, to software, she really goes all out for her favorite character!

Aside from entries featuring Kitty, she also has a bunch of other cute entries, such as those about scrapbooking, pets (both virtual and actual ones!), and online games.

Chryssy's Kitty Mania

An interesting thing about chryssy is that she's middle-aged and still a great fan of Hello Kitty, proving that love for this little white cat goes beyond age and is an epitome for perpetual youth and fun.

Focus on: Pochacco Crazy Marbles

Help! Marbles are closing in on Pochacco from all sides, and he needs you to get him out of there!

Pochacco Crazy Marble

What you need to do is to get at least three consecutive marbles of the same color together. You can grab the top one (or ones, if they're of the same color) and then throw it to whichever vent you want it to go to. Select which side you're going to take a marble from using the arrow keys. You can release it by again pressing which directional button you want it to go to. The marbles won't wait for you, though, because these will continue to keep coming at Pochacco until they reach him; at which point, the game ends.

Pochacco Crazy Marbles

There are special marbles that will aid you and Pochacco, and these can be easily seen, as they look slightly different from the normal ones. Activate these by again placing them with at least two other marbles of the same color. Depending on the marble that you get, any one of these might happen: all marbles will be cleared, marbles from that row will automatically disappear, or the marbles will stop moving for a few moments.

Blog of the Week!

Ribbit! Who says frogs are icky, slimy and disgusting? This week's featured blog shows that not only can they be cute and loveable, but that they also have emotions too!

The Unauthorized Froggy Journal

The Unauthorized Froggy Journal is a blog written by a fan of Keroppi, and interestingly, the member writes from the perspective of Sanrio's resident frog. What results are quirky and funny entries that show what goes on in the little guy's head. The posts are many and varied, ranging from the thoughts going on in Keroppi's head to what a frog's life is about, from games and things featuring him and his family to his lamentations about being forgotten by his fans. The blog is really unique, not only because of its humor and its focus, but also because it gives readers a glimpse on how the little frog might actually be if he was actually real. Keroppi fans, both new and old, would certainly love to check this out, and maybe boost his confidence a bit by telling him that he's not really forgotten and he is still loved.

Know more about this Keroppi and show your love for him by going to http://blog.sanriotown.com/kerokero:kuririnmail.com/.
