Hello Kitty

According to Sanrio, the creator of Hello Kitty,
"Hello Kitty was bornon November 1st and she lives in London England with her parents and her twin sister, Mimmy. They have lots of friends at school with whom they share lots of adventures. Her hobbies include traveling, music, reading, eating yummy cookies her sister Mimmy bakes, and best of all making new friends."

According to Wikipedia:
"Hello Kitty was originally to be named "Kitty White" (from one of the cats that Alice kept in the book Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll), due to British culture being popular among Japanese girls at the time of her inception. However, this name was not adopted. The name "Hello Kitty" originated from a mistranslation of the name of Japan's famous maneki neko ("welcoming cat"), the primary inspiration for the character.

When Hello Kitty's boyfriend "Dear Daniel" was created in 1999, designers took his name from the 1971 film Melody, which starred Mark Lester as a character called Daniel and features songs by the Bee Gees.

Hello Kitty's fictional world includes a whole array of friends and family members. Since 2004 she has even had a pet cat of her own called Charmmy Kitty and a pet hamster called Sugar. Charmmy resembles Hello Kitty but has more cat-like features. Charmmy Kitty was given to Hello Kitty by her father, George White, and Sugar by Dear Daniel.

Hello Kitty's rising prominence
Hello Kitty has been marketed in the United States from the beginning and has held the position of U.S. children's ambassador for UNICEF since 1983. She really came to her own during the late 1990s when several celebrities such as Mariah Carey adopted her as a fashion statement. Now products featuring the character can be found in virtually any American department store. Hello Kitty was once featured in an advertising campaign of the retail chain Target. Many American celebrities have contributed to the character's popularity:Ricky Martin, Mariah Carey, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Steven Tyler, Christina Aguilera, Carmen Electra, Mandy Moore, Raven-Symoné, Varla Jean Merman, as well as Paris and Nicky Hilton have all been spotted with Hello Kitty goods. Singer Lisa Loeb, who is marketing the pink Hello Kitty guitar, has admitted to being a fan and has even dedicated a whole album in homage to Hello Kitty, called Hello Lisa."

Besides all of the children fans of Hello Kitty there are also plenty of older woman, just like me, who adore Hello Kitty.

Sometimes some Hello Kitty stuff I find is just a little too childish, even for me, so when I found out that Sanrio was creating a HK store just for adults I was really happy. The store is called Momoberry by Sanrio. The stores can only be found in LA and Tokoyo :( Maybe someday they'll expand.

As I was searching for some cool Hello Kitty Jewelry, besides the plastic kid's stuff, I came across Tarino Tarintino. She is an artist that creates my most favoritist HK jewelry ever! The collectiono is called Pink Head, because in it HK features pink hair, and can be found here: Tarino Tarantino It is a little on the expensive side, but it is definitly worth it. I only own one peice, but hope to own more soon!

Again, while searching for some HK bling I came across a fabulous HK watch by Neiman Marcus. Of course it's expensive because it's Neiman Marcus, this beautiful watch will cost you around 4 grand and comes with an alligator strap, mother of pearl dial, 1.6 carats of diamonds, and pink saphires.
