Ah, Simone, how I love to watch you. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing/hanging with Simone once or twice this year and I can honestly tell you he’s a great guy. I love being around him- granted, it may have everything to do because I am one of his many fangirls, but who’s keeping track right?
Karmaloop, who I happen to favor in terms of tokidoki products, just had an interview with Mr. Tokidoki himself. The best part? Getting a glimpse of his sketchbook as he randomly turns the pages. I shall steal this book, my ninja outfit is on it’s way here. Mwahahaha!
Hola fellow tokidoki fans. I believe that a lot of you were unable to make the commute to NYC this weekend to meet Mr. Tokidoki. It was a pleasure seeing him and though getting stickers is nothing compared the meeting the artists behind the goodness, it definitely helps with the sadness. So, after looking through all the stickers we got this weekend, my Mr. [Grim Santo] and I are giving away two bundles of stickers. One of them will contain 11 stickers, courtesy of Grim, and the other will contain 7 stickers from me! Check out the pics and see what you’d be getting…

11 stickers

7 stickers
Oh, I just noticed, 7/11. I’m too silly. Anyway, leave a comment with your real email address, which will not be seen by the public and on the 19th we’ll pick 2 people to give these away too. I know it sucks that its not 2 equal sets, but, its all the extras we had. I’ll contact you via email and send them your way. Good luck!
p.s. All stickers are vinyl stickers.
So last night, was the sequel to seeing Mr. Tokidoki. I was quite excited that he would be in YoyaMart because like I mentioned in the previous post, Sneaker Pimps turned out to be a scene I wasn’t into. I arrived at 7pm and got in at 8. I didn’t mind the wait, the weather was friendly and because of construction nearby we were able to sit on these construction columns. Once we got inside though, my bubble was slightly burst. It turns out I was waiting on one line to get on another. Oh noes! At first there was a confusion of which one was the purchasing line and which was the Simone line, but I managed to get on the right line. By the way, these girls tried to skip for a second, but I also managed to set them straight. I was excited to see the new releases, this include the Mozzarella plushy I’ve been waiting for [ her gun looks weird though] and turns out that Adios and Ciao Ciao have also been turned into plush form:

The other releases included variations of Bastardino and NEW Gato Spinoso and an unknown fella in vinyl form

Please check out my flickr to see more shots of the event. You will find the NEW New Era fitted caps for the ladies, I kept contemplating if I really wanted it, which will cost $43 and other shots of the upcoming products. I didn’t see plushy Sandy, which is odd since she’s already been announced. I wish I could’ve purchased these fellas though, I can’t wait to add them to my collection.
Continuing now to the rest of the party. The fans were greeted to water and Champagne, I had water, and then waited on line for 3 hrs. I was exhausted from the wait, but I kept looking at Simone and knew that we was so beat from all the signing. Some people took their entire collection!! Oh my gosh, the abuse. I only took my book as I want it to hold a collection of my favorite artists. When I was inches away, we were told that we had to keep it to a limit of 2 items. People still went for more, how rude!!
I was excited that he recognized me from the previous night and after he signed my book and took a picture with me, I went in for the hug. He kept giving people a handshake, me being a hug whore, was clearly in search for more. So he hugged me, and I let him be. He seems so down to earth, which is always awesome. Check out my book:

Here come the goodies… I managed to get all these stickers from both the tokidoki party and the sneaker pimps show… I am giving away 2 bundles. One that contains 7 stickers and one that contains 11… this is due to how many extras my Mr. [Grim Santo] and I had. How can you get them? Check out the next post…
