Hello Hello Kitty-ites,
OK this is a little strange, but hopefully not insanely so: I'm working
on a book for Crown/Random House and am hoping to interview someone who
meets a ridiculously particular set of criteria: a) is over the age of
30, b) loves Hello Kitty, c) determinedly single and/or b) determinedly
childfree.
The book is titled "Rejuvenile: How a New Breed of Adult is Redefining
Maturity." It's a celebration of the growing number of grown ups who
maintain adult responsibilities and yet haven't lost their love of
toys, comic books, kids music, video games, candybars, and the like.
More about the topic is available in story I wrote for the New York
Times last year (posted here:
http://www.christophernoxon.com/nyt_sub_rejuveniles.html). I'm a
frequent contributor to the New York Times magazine,the Los Angeles
Times, Reuters and NPR.
At the moment I'm working on a chapter about family and am wondering if
there is a Hello Kitty lover out there who can tell me about how
remaining single and/or childfree has allowed them to continue to enjoy
things other adults might be too busy, distracted or otherwise
convinced aren't "mature"...
All best,
Christopher Noxon
