When Apple created the iPad, I did not think they had cats in mind. Apparently, though, they have the capability to use touch screen technology as well as humans do, even with their sharp claws. Take Iggy the Cat for example, who is not all thumbs when exploring his human’s iPad. More »

When it comes to options for decorating my new Nintendo DS Lite, my head spins. Literally. There’s the deco option — deco is the Japanese word for decorating things with a glue gun. There’s also stickers, skins, charms and you can even swap the original stylus for something that’s cuter. Currently, I’m considering the deco option but of course, that involves a glue gun: More »

Never in human history has their been a year without cute. True, it hasn’t always been documented properly (I’m sure someone invented a cute wheel?), but the goal GirlyBubble is trying to achieve with the start of the GirlyBubble Year End Special is to make sure 2009 is remembered as an epic year in which girly, cute, kawaii stuff happened. That said, expect a blog post that pays tribute to 2009 in cute every day leading up to New Years Day . More »

I feel like it’s slowly becoming my duty to inform people of the cute things they shouldn’t be eating because some sort of poisoning might result. Take Japan’s latest Docomo Q-pot Melting Chocolate phone. If the Docomo Q-pot phones had (cute chocolate) feet, it’d kick the LG Chocolate in the ass. It literally looks like a bar of chocolate! Although Q-pot is best known for its food-inspired accessories, you can’t actually eat them — the human digestive system isn’t capable of digesting. More »

There’s just no escaping China. China is a force to be reckoned with and is literally, EVERYWHERE. Even my boss is Chinese. People, language, dim sum, pink digital HD camcorders — it’s like China is IN my brain waiting for the next GirlyBubble thought to be born. Looking at this super awesome pink digital HD camcorder from Chinavasion, my only thought now besides, “OMG! HAVE! WANT! NEED!” is why can’t pink be a communist color instead of red? More »
