Hello Kitty Ambassador
No full textThis is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.Broadcast Transcript: Japan has just added two new words to the language of diplomacy: Hello Kitty. The popular cartoon character was recently called to serve her country as Tourism Ambassador to China and Hong Kong. She follows in the pawprints of Doraemon, the manga robot cat named Anime Ambassador last year in an attempt to "harness the power of pop culture in diplomacy." There is some irony to Kitty's appointment: China is the mother lode of faux kitty knockoffs with sales of about $800 million a year. Whatever. As one of the most powerful brands in the world, Kitty's image can be found on some 50,000 products worldwide including a deluxe leather document case. Think what you will about Miss Kitty: But you can never say she's an ambassador without a portfolio. #hacker #japan #cea

Kitty Dukakis, Michael Dukakis, and Larry Tye: Shock discuss The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy at the Ford Hall Forum, audio recording, 10/15/2007
No full textAfter suffering from decades from severe depression, substance abuse problems, and hospitalizations, Kitty Dukakis now credits her recovery to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

Kitty parties
No full textThis short film is an interview with an Indian woman as she drives through Delhi on her way to a kitty party. She explains that a kitty party is a monthly social gathering of a group of women, to "eat, drink and be merry", but that it is primarily concerned with money. Each member of the group contributes a sum to the "kitty", and at each gathering, lots are drawn to determine who will receive the lump sum of the kitty that month, to spend on whatever they wish. The kitty therefore represents both an opportunity for socialising and for saving money. The interviewee stresses how she considers the party members to be acquaintances rather than friends, but also the benefits to be gained from saving money in this manner. A sense of the heavy traffic in Delhi is made clear throughout the film.
Kitty & Jill
No full textKitty & Jill is a lesbian romance dramedy musical adapted from the novel Jill by Elizabeth Amy Dillwyn, an openly-lesbian author in the 19th century. Set in 1884 industrial Victorian England, Kitty & Jill follows dual protagonists: Jill Trecastle, who runs away from her home in high society in order to forge a new life and identity for herself; and Kitty Mervyn, another young high society woman who decides to go on a sketching trip and hires Jill to be her traveling-maid, leading to the two of them falling in love. Throughout their chaotic adventure, Kitty and Jill must learn how to be honest with themselves in the face of high society façades. The score is inspired by Victorian era music, classic Broadway, and modern musical theatre; and the tone of the show combines historical Victorian-era high society language with pepperings of modern-day jargon, as a tool of emphasis upon the fact that this is a piece of classical literature being revitalized in the present day. Instrumentally, the music is strings-and-piano-heavy, along with various pitched and unpitched percussion instruments.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1005/thumbnail.jp
