I recently had a conversation with someone from New York City where I had to explain the nature of my car-commuting California lifestyle. Part of that lifestyle deems it unnecessary for me to own an iPod or MP3 player because I spend most of my time in my car, listening to my car stereo. I want to say that this is because I’m kind of a big deal, but actually, it’s typical here for people to not be pedestrians in Southern California. Looking at this limited edition iRiver Swarovski crystal-studded Hello Kitty mp3 player however, is totally changing my mind about the way I think of MP3 players.

This blinged out MP3 player is kind of useless if you’re a super pedestrian. It only holds 2GB. That’s like me sticking headphones to my everyday USB stick and calling it a day. But gosh darn if it isn’t so cute!!! Currently, there are only 200 of these MP3 players in stock and they are selling for 13,800 yen (Around $155 USD).

Thanks to Danny for the tip!
