Who does Kiki look like ?


So we have been getting a lot of comments on the look of Kiki. People are saying "we dig the monster " , the character looks really naughty, fun. Infact friends the other day came over for dinner and thought they figured out how we created the Kiki image. They think if you look at it top down - it looks like pacman but if you turn the character upside down - it is batman , interesting. Who does Kiki remind you of ? What do you think ? Go to heykiki.com and tell us what you think of the Kiki character. If you would like Kiki memorablia let us know through the site heykiki.com and we will send you postcards , stickers etc. At our end we would like to thank Brandon and Ty for doing such a wonderful job for creating the kind of character we wanted. Fun , vivacious , naughty , full of life. Say Hey to Kiki!

Unleash the Activity (Kiki) Monster in You!

I am a regular yoga guy and today had an intense 90 min Iyengar Yoga class, where the focus was the Downward Dog pose. And its exactly such intensity of the mind and body, that we refer to as the Kiki Monster in you. The period of time when the entire being exists to focus on one activity. The moment of time when the mind becomes oblivious of time itself.

And it doesnt only take a yoga lesson to get you in a Kiki Frame of mind, to get your inner Kiki out. It could be a guitar class, or practicing spanish with a buddy, it could be any activity. And its exactly this rush of adrenalin, this feeling of living, thriving, of breathing, that that motivates us to bring you HeyKiki.com.

So what will get your Kiki Monster out. Will it be skiing or playing the piano. Whatever it be, we do hope the rush is worth it.

Kiki Gets Ready to Rumble...

I remember the day I first seriously considered boxing. Or more specifically, boxing lessons. I wanted to take some sort of something. I didn't know what. Karate and judo weren't rigorous enough. More art than exercise. And the gym was just dull. Then I remembered an old friend years ago had told me he used to box. I figured if he could, I could. The first lesson was hell. Moving my entire body in new ways. Arms, legs, shoulders - everything was sore. I could barely walk afterwards, my legs were shaking so bad. It was the most amazing feeling in the world.

Wandering mind ....what would kiki be doing today ?

As I was driving to work today, my mind wandered in several different directions. Ofcourse it was hard to miss the snow and everyone all bundled up was religiously driving to work. and I started thinking of what Kiki would be doing today. Perhaps sleeping in... no I dont think so ... Kiki is so active, I can almost imagine Kiki springing from bed as soon as the alarm clock goes off. Probably making a snow man, finishing it to perfection with a bright red carrot for the nose, or may be making snowballs and throwing it at neighbors, yes I can easily imagine Kiki doing that, Kiki is naughty, reminds me a little of Calvin the bold always taking pot shots at poor Susie. Knowing his ambitions, Kiki is probably dreaming of making plans to go to Tahoe, go skiing with the buddies , or perhaps shall we say day dreaming of winning the 2010 winter olympics in vancouver this year. Kiki, where are you, what are you doing today?
