I always thought Hello Kitty was cute, although KeroKeroKeroppi was even cuter. But I got to a certain age, 20, and my love for the all things cute and cuddly form Sanrio faded quietly into the night. Now news is coming in that M.A.C is embracing the Hello Kitty obsession and honoring the furry little kitty with her own cosmetics line. I wouldn’t be surprised if this line will be one of the most popular for M.A.C. Look for it to drop in February 2009. No matter how hard I try, I cannot escape this cat!
Last year Gizmodo reported that NEC had a laptop encrusted with Swarovski crystals to create Hello Kitty’s image with hearts. That just seemed wrong. And there was the line of wedding gowns dripping with Hello Kitty that made me throw up a little in my mouth. I could go on about all the fashion disasters that is Hello Kitty, but I just don’t have the time or the energy. I will admit that Sanrio is doing an excellent job keeping the Hello Kitty character alive in the hearts of young girls and women. Just keep that little kitty away from me. . .
