Hello JNT! A Post-Travel Update and the Hello Kitty! exhibit Opening (Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles)

Hoooollleeeeey fuck, have I been busy! And it's been a total blast! After a few weeks of traveling (and of course shooting), I'm back in my HQ in LA and have been busy doing Awesome every day! It's taken me a week but I finally have a new #JNT video update to share, with lots of sneak peak photos from my travels and a look at my crazy-amazing first week back!

I also have TONS of photos I want to share from my recent Friday night as Jordan Bunniie's 'plus one' to the VIP opening of the Hello Kitty exhibit opening at the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in the Little Tokyo area of downtown. LA.

Can you say *Adorable*?? And I, of course, looked appropriately fantastic ;) Click below to see the photos of my fabulousness and to learn more about the art and artists of this amazing HELLO KITTY event!

I was super excited when Jordan Bunniie (as seen HERE in our previous model-ventures out to the Arizona Shoot Out last spring) asked if I was free to be her plus one for the VIP opening of "Hello! Exploring the supercute world of Hello Kitty."

Picture
The exhibit, in celebration of the 40th year anniversary since her creation, features 100% Hello Kitty inspired artwork, and is having a huge influence all over Los Angeles!

The only important question of course.. What to wear!!
Immediately, one Hollywood-based designer came to mind..

** Pretty Star Clothing **

Picture
Perfect, right? Click the image to check out more of the incredible designs by Pretty Star Clothing. Accessorized by Yours Truly, shoes from LoveMelrose.com

omfg, it's Hello Bunniie!

By the way, the reason Bunniie was heading to this event: She's in the exhibit! That's her on the wall, as photographed and Hello Kitty-ized by photographer Julia SH.
(Congrats again to both talented ladies!)


The exhibit itself was awesome, exploring the history, influence, and memorabilia of Hello Kitty, with rooms full of artwork from artists all over the world, as inspired by the infamous, non-cat (join THAT debate on twitter) Kitty White; the little-known full name of the "Hello Kitty" star.

Check out some of my favs! Modeled appropriately with many a goofie selfie by yours truly. . . .

Picture
"Melty Kitty Dream" by Buff Monster (Acrylic on Canvas)
Picture
"Much Loved Kitty" by Mark Nixon (photograph) Like my Anime Face fail??
Picture
We both particularly enjoyed "Hello Lincoln" by Scott Scheidly (Acrylic Painting on Masonite)
Picture
Colin Christian's Hello Kitty Sex Bot (my interpretation) is a good 12 feet tall and kneels at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor of the museum
Picture
"Inner Kitty" by husband and wife duo APAK (Gouache on Paper) helped me find my inner Peace and Cuteness.

My favorite part of the event, besides the HUGE commotion Bunniie and I caused with security for drinking in the gallery, -seriously, we had had those glasses of wine the ENTIRE time. I get the rule, but it's not like we brought the wine from home. Six guys with earpieces is a bit much for two little blondes, don't ya think..? And as if JNT is about to throw away a free drink - was the opportunity to meet and chat with the artists!


This guy was particularly awesome. A blonde and bearded; A winning combination!

"Block Hello Kitty" by Yarns & Noble (Wood, Nails, Yarn!) You can watch the time-lapse of it's creation on instagram!
Picture
I've had the pleasure of meeting painter Brandi Milne a number of times at Dr. Sketchy's events (click the photo to find out more about this awesome, world-wide "anti-art" art group!)


And I instantly recognized Brandi Milne's work. I've been a fan of her "disgustingly cute" (my words) style since I was first introduced, and it was really no surprise to see her work as part of the Hello Kitty Fantasticness (I'm running low on words..)

And possibly my favorite photo of the evening...

A picture of a gal looking at a painting of a picture of a gal looking at a painting of Hello Kitty.    . . .    *Mind Blown!*

Picture
"Allegory of Love" by Marc Dennis (Oil paint on linen) Also a great look at the back of my amazing ensemble <3 Have you figured out that it's three pieces, yet?

Additionally, I loved learning more about the message of Hello Kitty, and the thoughts behind the Kitty White character. From her lack of a mouth to the colors of her bow, everything about HK is designed to bring smiles and friendship to the world.

"Pink makes you Happy." Hmmm, perhaps that's why I've been consistently adding it to the JNT brand this last year.

And of course it wouldn't be much of a night out with JNT without at least one great bathroom selfie ;)

Want more? Check out the write up in LA Weekly! You should recognize two certain fanfuckingtastic bunniies in there too ;)

And if you have plans to be in LA you better go check this exhibit out!!

There's a whole room full of Hello Kitty fashion that I didn't include! This exhibit will be up until April, so you got some time to plan your trip. You can find more deets at the JANM website HERE (closed Mondays).

Also, you may have noticed mention in my video that I have some awesome JNT merch for sale! Specifically, a dozen fantastic photos from this event (By popular request, I am trying to get better at making JNT available for purchase) ;)

Picture
Just what photo you'll get is a surprise! But trust me, they're all gold. Diamond-encrusted, badass gold.

Want yours? Just $10 via paypal gets you a signed and kissed pic sent straight to you. $20 if you'd like me to add a personal message or one-of-a-kind, guaranteed hilarious insult (I'm super cereal). Paypal can be sent to badass@JinNTonic.com and be sure to include your name and address!

Thanks for tuning in, guys! Be sure to interweb stalk me at any and all the many fuckin' links below. As always, I've got big plans in the near future of more badass photo shoots, video projects, travel, and events with equally badass people; So stay tuned!

XoXo
JNT
