Examine the actual original, the Hello Kitty laptop produced by Fujitsu on the web. Decide you can't buy it for intended recipient, but you might be able to recreate it. Go to FAO Schwartz for assorted 'Hello Kitty' stuff. Freak. While there, explain to sales-person in area what you are doing. Have it be overheard by 'Hello Kitty' maven. Enlist maven as consultant. Spend lovely 30 minutes finding out everything about the world of 'Hello Kitty' and the people who live it for fun. Ask for address of maven to send pictures after project is over. Get very suspicious look. Get address anyway, with admonition: "Just don't stalk me or anything, ok?"
