OFF TOPIC: VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW MODEL WRAP

I might be into Hello Kitty and I am not really into fashion but I found this offer for a Limited Edition Victoria's Secret Fashion Show model wrap a great buy. Unfortunately I procrastinated buying it and when I tried several days later after the first email notice they had already sold out. These are pretty cute even for the non fashionista. I would be collecting it most likely and not for use but I do have to say Victorias Secret is getting better and better with their marketing and products so much so that they're hard to refuse or ignore. This even comes with a VIP pass.

HELLO KITTY CREDIT CARDS

Hello Kitty is usually a great ambassador and spreads a positive message but not in this case. Kitty just keeps bringing up all the credit cards she has across the planet and reminds me of all the credit cards I don't have anymore because of her. It should say something like "crazy ass spending". Which in my case that is the truth. I have gone overboard and I have been reminded of that on more than one occasion and that there will be nothing left to get me for Christmas if I keep buying this stuff but I assured them that there is always something Hello Kitty that can be found.

"Buy Kitty".... is exactly what I did and even with the same size shopping bag as kitty is holding. Subliminal messaging always seems to work on me.

These aren't even good anymore but at least the kitty card is a great keeper for my collection.

MAKE YOUR OWN HELLO KITTY #2

Here is another way to incorporate Hello Kitty into your life when you can not buy her anymore like myself who has maxed out all the cc's because of the addiction. The make your own christmas ornaments were found at Bed Bath and Beyond last year. They include a blank white ornament and a few markers. Look what I did!

HELLO KITTY GARTER

Hello Kitty loves weddings. She is most happy when she gets to take part in it whether as a cake topper, part of a dress or a garter. Yes I said garter. HCC Garters makes custome made garters that can include your favorite kitty. Unfortunately this is not on my buy list. I can't anyways the cc's are maxed out and I really should not have a list.

HELLO KITTY SANRIO HEADQUARTERS

Do you ever wonder what Hello Kitty's Sanrio headquarters looks like in Japan and San Francisco, USA? Here it is.

Sanrio headquarters- Japan

Sanrio headquarters- Japan

                                                        Sanrio in San Francisco, CA- USA

HELLO TEMPUR PEDIC

This is one of those items that completely throws you off guard. It seems like in Japan any and all companies release a Limited Edition Hello Kitty item. No one is exempt from the wrath of Hello Kitty. Even mattress companies. I mean that in a good way. Tempur-Pedic in Japan has created a Limited Edition Hello Kitty Plush doll. They made it so easy to obtain that it's on the Sanrio Japan website! Yes I am getting it!

HELLO KITTY PERFUME

Just when you think that you have hit a dry spot when it comes to Hello Kitty merchandise something pops up again when you are finally broke. Another Hello Kitty perfume has hit the market in Asia. But who do you really think is going to buy this? Probably me to start with. This is the Hello Kitty Diamond collection. Not only do they have the perfume but apparently there is a plush too. I WANT IT! :D

I am about to pass out from drooling over this plush doll!

VICTORIA'S HELLO KITTY SECRET

Victoria's Secret is that they want to endorse Hello Kitty but not officially so they add a bow on the same side kitty wears and at the same angle so fanatics like myself will think Hello Kitty when they see this pajama set they are currently offering. I would not mind seeing a official product though.

HELLO KITTY HAS BEEN ELFED

It's only fitting after Hello Kitty met Santa that she'd be elfed!

HELLO KITTY MEETS SANTA

Today Hello Kitty met Santa at our local mall. Unfortunately Santa charged us to take a picture with him. Since when does Santa need to make a profit and would this be too premature to say this may become a series? :D

If you missed the first person Hello Kitty met look here:

HELLO KITTY 7-ELEVEN PLUSH

I mentioned awhile back how some items that are released overseas should of been released here in the USA and this would be one of them. This is a Hello Kitty 7 -Eleven large plush exclusive to the 7-Elevens in Taiwan. I was lucky to be able to find someone to get this for me but not all may be lucky. There was only 10,000 made and I am number 8,000 and something so they are most likely sold out by now.

HELLO KITTY& SNOOPY CHRISTMAS TREES

If you love Snoopy and Hello Kitty and are too lazy to decorate a tree, Dream Kitty does it for you. I was very tempted to purchase one of these Hello Kitty Christmas trees but then I saw the Snoopy one also and I can not have two trees in my house. According to the other half. I would put all of these trees in each room if I could.

HELLO KITTY VIOLIN

As always I am looking for the next best thing when it comes to Hello Kitty and I recently found this Hello Kitty violin for sale. Never thought I would see something like this but that's what happens when you spend all your time on the computer looking for Hello Kitty. I found this on Yahoo Auctions Hong Kong. Too cute for sounds.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PART 2

On top of adding a Hello Kitty bow to my Thanksgiving Turkey I took it upon myself to mess around on the computer with Hello Kitty. Check these masterpieces out. :D

You can find this Rudolph card at http://www.hallmark.com/

The first thing I did before that when I got up was watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade waiting for Hello Kitty and taking pictures of the tv as if I was there. But it's quite obvious I was not. lol

There is no Hello Kitty plush this year that I know of. Mickey Mouse is running that show.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

It's pretty sad when on a national holiday I can not take a break from my Hello Kitty obsession and wasting my time on how I can make my Thanksgiving turkey look like Hello Kitty. I've got problems but Happy Thanksgiving anyway. :D

This is not all of the crazy stuff I did on Thanksgiving. Will be continued. No, this is not for sale.

HELLO KITTY IN LOVE SHOW

Recently there was a stage show in Japan called "Hello Kitty in Love" that played from November 11-19 2009 and of course I found "by accident" (it's never really an accident) a piece of merchandise with the same name meaning that it may go with the show. There is not much information online about this show or any possible merchandise but this is it.

HELLO KITTY 35TH ANNIVERSARY PORTUGAL FASHION SHOW DRESS

 I made a purchase I probably shouldn't have that cost me a fortune but this item screamed Hello Kitty and 80s all in one and I had to have it. I did not even have buyers remorse but I usually don't with Hello Kitty which is unfortunate because of my horrible spending habits. I am now the proud owner of a Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Moda Lisboa Portugal Fashion Show dress by Nuno Baltazar. The only one in the world. The fashion show was for Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary and designers were selected and required to make a dress inspired by Hello Kitty. And I am not even big on fashion eaither.

This is part of Portugal's Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Fashion Show! Watch for MY dress and a appearance by Hello Kitty herself! :D

HELLO KITTY CHINESE NEW YEAR LION DANCE DRAGON PLUSH

My favorite time of the year besides Christmas is Chinese New Year and apparently it's Hello Kitty's too as she dresses up as a lion dance dragon in a cute little set from Asia. The lion dance dragon is popular in celebration of Chinese New Year in parades and parties. This was released last year and I bet you didn't know it existed? I purchased it on Yahoo Auctions Hong Kong and I'm waiting for it to be delivered to me just in time for the fun. I can not wait!!!! 

                                  

                     

HELLO KITTY MEETS DAN AYKROYD

Today Hello Kitty met Ghostbusters and Saturday Night Live star Dan Aykroyd at our local booze shop for a signing event promoting his new vodka Crystal Head. He was so kind to accept kitty's offer for a picture. Sorry kitty but it should really be the other way around.

(Photos taken by Hello Kitty Limited)

Too bad it's not in the shape of a Hello Kitty head! :)

(No celebrity endorsement implied)

THE HELLO KITTY PURCHASE I NEVER RECIEVED

 I am very dissapointed on a purchase I made off Ebay for a Hello Kitty item as usual. It was a plush that I will not get as they never sent it out. It was a good one too that I have never heard of. At least I got my money back but Ebay is handling the "item not recieved" claims instead of Paypal which made it easier but with Ebay it's a bit quicker to handle. At least I got a picture. This was a limited Edition Hide N Seek plush with only 300 made. She looks like Sherlock Holmes.  There is so much Hello Kitty stuff it's impossible to know everything thats out there unless you work for Sanrio. What a job that would be!

The picture is so small but I can not bare to look anyway of what once was or could of been. Ughhhh!

HELLO KITTY VOGUE

It's amazing the things I will do or look at for a Hello Kitty fix especially when it's a magazine that I have no interest in reading such as Vogue. Hello Kitty took part in the June 2008 japanese issue and included a cute little pin that was exclusive to the magazine. It wasn't on the top of my find list but the more I think about it I may just want it. What else is new.

HELLO KITTY EGG NOG

Hello Kitty is pretty much on everything but the one thing that I can not find is Hello Kitty Egg Nog. Where is it and when is it coming out? My favorite drink of all time besides coffee and numerous amounts of diet soda. I am surprised that this hasn't been done yet. I have seen one item have many different versions of Hello Kitty but they seem to be skipping a whole line of other items including my Egg Nog.

HELLO KITTY TAKES THE CAKE

Hello Kitty takes the cake as always and everything that she does. Including this rare cake I found done professional style. Most cakes I have seen just plant her face on top of a tiny birthday cake but I must say this one takes the cake. You could probably go to any good cake shop to do this for you but you have to be descriptive with them or they will just plant a face on a round cake like they did with mine. Even though it was the best chocolate cake I had ever had!

I still love it though as my favorite!

HELLO KITTY BLOG SPOTLIGHT

Every now and then Hello Kitty Limited spotlights a special item that is intriguing. Today's spotlight goes to the toilet paper from the Three Apples VIP Party. Now this is not just any toilet paper but Hello Kitty toilet paper that is not for sale in the USA at least that I could find. You know you are truly at a very important person event when the only time you can use it is between 7-11 pm on a Thursday night. It was so special that I felt the need to take a picture of it and some "person" thought that putting one into a certain person's Swag Bag would wipe my mind of all my troubles and it did. This was not there the next day for the opening as I was required to check. :)

HELLO KITTY CANDLES

For those of you who obsess over candles Hello Kitty and Sanrio just had a sale on their website to get these holiday candle sets free with a purchase. Of course I jumped on this immediately not thinking gee... I just spent WHAT? Maybe I shouldn't? Yeah right, I never say that but I am going to have to start very soon. They only had 130 sets to go out and I am now the proud owner. Hello Kitty candles are rare to come by and they are now officially sold out!

HELLO KITTY SANRIO STOCKS

Time is running out for me. My cc's are maxed and we are living off unemployment for the moment. Unfortunately that has not stopped me from getting Hello Kitty stuff which is becoming a problem. I just started thinking of what is the next thing I can get that is rare for Hello Kitty. I know.... Sanrio stocks. Not items but actual stocks for the company except they originate in Japan so I do not think I can buy stocks from them which breaks my heart because that could be a good move financially. My thoughts are always that Hello Kitty makes everything better. I  am hoping that includes this case too.

                                      

HELLO KITTY JAPAN SUPERMODEL

As a Hello Kitty collector there are some items that are too interesting and rare to pass up. Some might not see the value in certain items but that is the beauty of choice. I came across a Hello Kitty plush that was made from a famous supermodel in Japan. This is Hello Kitty as Okamoto Rei by Nicola Magazine from 2007. From Japan only.

HELLO KITTY THREE APPLES STARRING PRINCE

For whatever reason I seemed to have missed this piece of art for sale at the Three Apples event in LA but Hello Kitty is playing dress up again as Prince. What happened to the good ole days where playing dress up only involved a dress and some nice shoes?  lol.  Most of the art was sold by opening weekend so I'm sure this has been sold already.

HELLO KITTY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

This past weekend Hello Kitty and Sanrio celebrated her birthday at most local Sanrio stores and of course I had forgotten about it before recieving a email from the Sanrio shop reminding me to come in that day and that there would be free goodies etc. When I get there this so called party was a bit of a dud. I guess I am a little spoiled after going to the Three Apples VIP Party and expecting cake and such but all I got was me buying something else. No free goodies and no cake! They had balloons but were not willing to part with them. Oh well. You can't get everything you want but how come I don't have as many birthday events as Hello Kitty?

"Hi Hello Kitty fans!


I am pleased to tell you that today is our official Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary celebration. WE have free goodie bags and other give always. Supplies are limited, so get here early to receive your free gift.

To honor Hello Kitty’s Anniversary, today and tomorrow ONLY you will receive an extra 50% off all 50% clearance items. Hurry in, supplies are limited.



Thanks,


Your ____Sanrio Staff."

HELLO BUILD A KITTY

Build-A-Bear has jumped on the Hello Kitty birthday bandwagon with their pink and black rhinestone dress celebrating kitty's 35th Anniversary. This is truly Limited Edition with only 50,000 made. They are numbered as not all of Sanrio Limited Editions are numbered. It even comes with a special clothes hanger to keep. I have number 26,000 and something. I wonder who has  number 1? Anway you can pick it up in one of their stores or online. This dress is so cute I want to wear it!

Even the little girls get one of these at Macy's!

HELLO KITTY VS MICHAEL JACKSON SORT OF... AGAIN

It never ceases to amaze me when it comes to Hello Kitty products coming out as Sanrio discontinues about 600 products a month only to bring 600 new ones in each month. So fanatics like myself never get bored and always have a empty wallet. Once again Hello Kitty reminds you of what once was..Michael Jackson. These hats are actually from the new mens line with GDC that kitty is trying to bring into the fanatic community. My bet is that mostly women will probably buy these hats for the Michael Jackson factor and because they are just plain cool. I can not seem to find a website for GDC though.

HELLO KITTY DOES DATING SERVICE

Lately Hello Kitty/Sanrio banners have been spotted everywhere. But it is even more rare when Hello kitty is on a banner supporting a dating service or supporting a member, literally, of that dating service but that is just what she has done. Take a guess where she is in this picture? I love you Hello Kitty but I am not signing up and I can't anyway. lol

HELLO KITTY THREE APPLES FAN SWAG BAG

I have to admit getting into the Hello Kitty VIP Party may have been the best as far as any other days go at the event but I was particular happy with the Fan Swag Bags from Superfan Day at the museum. Only 100 were given out to fans waiting in line for many hours just to get into Royal T. I love freebies! Unfortunately it does not come close to covering the trip to LA.

BAD REVIEW

If you are offended easily please stop reading here.

I need to give this review on a particular Hello Kitty site for their mismanagement and allowing fellow members to be threatened. It has come to my attention that a few of the moderators and owner may have participated in a minor threat regarding a members personal business which was none of their business and did not have the facts straight and proceeded to make a threat regarding the matter to this particular member. They were called out on it and then deleted content from the members profile without any note regarding it as retaliation. This type of treatment to fellow members of the community should not be allowed and needs to be reviewed by the higher ups from ning.com.

HELLO KITTY KITTOOGLES

On the days I do not buy Hello Kitty which should be everyday in the state that we are in.. unemployed.. I get my Hello Kitty fix using a alternate form of Google called Kittoogle which is the same as Google but Hello Kitty themed. I even managed to get a Yahoo Bar off of Sanrio Japan to decorate my computer even more. Even though it's in Japanese the pictures of Hello Kitty say a thousand words.  My husband does not care so long as I do not decorate him.

http://www.kittoogle.com/

HELLO VIVITIX

The minute I saw this little cutie on Sanrio's Vivitix site I new I had to have it and placed my order using http://www.kozytomo.com/ seeing I am in the United States and I can not order things from japanese companies. Unfortunately I am paying up the ying yang but it really is for the service that I can no get anywhere else. They are quick,efficient and very nice. I think this might be one of Sanrio's best Hello Kitty's!

CONFESSIONS OF A HELLO KITTY SHOPOHOLIC

My obsession for Hello Kitty items lead me last night to Yahoo Auctions Hong Kong where I found a couple of cute Hello Kitty Momoberry plushes from Japan. But trying not to buy so much and save more money I passed them by only to look later and they were no longer there. This is what happens when you don't make your move quickly in Hello Kitty buying land.  If you pass something up be prepared to not find it later on or sooner for that matter. My heart is hurting right now but on to the next item.

HELLO KITTY ON FOX

More Hello Kitty on USA television!  Yeah!!!



Hello Kitty is even watching this rare event! 

I WANT MY HELLO KITTY QVC TV

Now that the USA has their first ever Hello Kitty event we should be getting more merchandise and collaborations in the future. The USA has always been limited in their Hello kitty merchandise at least in my opinion because most of the stuff I have is from Japan or Taiwan. But in the meantime we have QVC and Diamonique Jewelry. Hello Kitty made her dubut on QVC with Diamonique late last year and has sold out each time. I even have this for my collection. Hello to kitty!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

IT'S A HELLO KITTY HALLOWEEN

Not only is collecting Hello kitty not enough for this fanatic but it seems I have the need to dress like her too. Well at least for Halloween. There are not may choices for us grown ups and not many places we can wear a full on Hello Kitty costume. But there is a few if you have a desperate need to be kitty. Take a guess where you usually can find this?

My costume

For your head

There is even ones for your pet!

You can't cover your face in public so most people go with this.

HELLO PUMPKIN

If you are not the best pumpkin carver you can still have your Hello Kitty Halloween pumpkin with these inserts. These were at Target but as always not every Target. I had to go to 4 different ones to find them including the stand and these were the last. Happy Halloween to me!

HELLO KITTY MACY'S 150TH ANNIVERSARY PLUSH

It's been almost a year since Macy's Department Store released their first ever Hello Kitty Plush doll celebrating their 150th Anniversary. It was a limited edition and an online exclusive so there was not much advertising for it. I remember Hello Kitty's appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and thinking they may have a plush but did not even think to look on their website as I dashed into several stores looking for her and she was nowhere to be found. Luckily I managed to find her 6 months later on Ebay and even got it at it's market price as some items not so lucky on where I have to pay way over the original price. I don't mind that. If I want it I want it but if I don't I just don't buy it. The plush with the girl has eyelashes but the Hello Kitty market version does not. Good luck trying to find her lashes.

HELLO KITTY'S BUSINESS CARDS

I know this seems like a strange thing to collect but when it comes to Hello Kitty nothing is overlooked. Even business cards. I managed to find a few of them which are very unique. I found one at a Sanrio store and not all Sanrio stores have their own business cards as I have discovered so I got lucky.

Hello Kitty even has her own business card from her 33rd Anniversary plated in gold and around $85. Limited Edition of course and can not be found.

HELLO CUPCAKE!

I usually am searching for Hello Kitty rarities but this one came to me. A delicious looking rarity that is. Little Sweeties Cupcakes makes custom made cupcakes and guess who is a part of it? Your favorite kitty... Hello Kitty. I love the zombie kitty!

Of course I had to throw in frankenberry as another favorite character of mine!!!

http://www.myspace.com/littlesweetiescupcakes

Also in my followers if you want to check them out! :)

HELLO KITTY MAC COSMETICS MAN HEADS

You want one? No... not the guys but one of their heads? Sorry you can't have it. They were part of Hello Kitty's Three Apples event for display only from the Mac Cosmetics video and line. Not everything there was for sale unfortunatly or I would of had a bigger suitcase.

BUILD A KITTY SHOP

Coming back from the Hello Kitty Three Apples event has put me in a very difficult situation. Another Hello Kitty find I can never have. The art was fantastic but I have a weakness for Hello Kitty Plushes. We almost did purchase a piece of art but then realizing it was too much for us to handle.The more limited and rare the item is the more I want it. I found these 35th Anniversary designed Hello Kitty Build A Bear plushes that were made just for the Three Apples event only and WILL NEVER BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. Unless they change their mind. I am writing my complaint letter. lol just kidding.

HELLO KITTY AIRSTREAM TRAILER FOR SALE

Do you want to live in luxury while you are camping out? Rumor has it the famous trailer you have seen adorned with Hello Kitty online and such is going to be for sale soon. I recently got to see this cute trailer designed by Cynthia Rowley at the Hello Kitty Three Apples VIP Party. Talks of it being put up on Ebay is just one in a few. This is not for the small pockets. The last day to see it at Royal T was today. This gives new meaning to Limited Edition.

KNOTT'S BERRY KITTY

Of all the places I would expect to see Hello Kitty items Knott's Berry Farm in California is not one of them but they do. Figures they were closed when we got there as if I did not have enough Hello Kitty items that I had just purchased from Three Apples and every Sanrio store I could find in the whole state. Well not the whole state but it comes close. Hello Kitty resides near her buddy Snoopy in a store window.

HELLO KITTY THREE APPLES SANRIO VIP PARTY

So I just got back from the Hello Kitty Three Apples Sanrio VIP Party for the opening of the 3 week event currently on display in Los Angeles and let me tell you it was the most fun a Hello Kitty fanatic could ever have. A true limited and once in a lifetime opportunity. Not to mention quite a bit of limited edition Hello Kitty merchandise like this plush gift set that is going for $100.00 (USD) and only 500 pieces made. That means I am one in 500 people that will have this. Of course a certain part of my wallet will hate me for it.

 Gift (swag) Bags for the invited! Came with a few Hello Kitty Exclusives and even a Target gift card. We got 2 since there was 2 of us. :)

The RED CARPET! Did not recognize anyone though.

Some girl was getting her picture taken like crazy so she must of been someone but I could care less. I was there for THE CAT! :)

I brought my performance artist with me! :)

I SCORED!!!!!

I scored one of the biggest gets for Hello Kitty you can get!!! I am heading off to a VIP Party for her Three Apples event and I am now able to go the Three Apples Event. I can not wait. Will keep u posted.

                         

HELLO KITTY'S MOM

Have you ever wondered who Hello Kitty's creator was.. AKA Mom? I wonder if her house is kittified! Her name is Yuko Yamaguchi and she has her own blog. It's in Japanese so you may want to translate it if necessary. This is a great find!!! Priceless!

I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

Hello Kitty sure knows how to make your mouth water and your checkbook empty. Unfortunately that was awhile back when Eva Air was using Hello Kitty for their airlines. Now it is no more and has been replaced by another cute and cuddly character to assist you in the sky. It makes me feel a little better knowing that anyone else who missed a chance to ride th Hello Kitty train, I meant plane, does not get to now so I am not alone in this misery. You probably will not find the actual ice cream but hopefully someone was smart enough to keep the packaging. Can anyone say Ebay?

LOS ANGELES THREE APPLES EVENT MERCHANDISE

Being in the USA you would think that it would be easier for me to get to a special Hello Kitty event for her birthday but that is not the case here. I am very dissapointed that I will not be able to go but a little happier now knowing there will be a select amount of merchandise exclusive to the event that may be easier to get.

                                       

HELLO AGAIN PERFUME

It seems when you think one door closes and another door opens sometimes it's the same door that opens again. In this case with Hello Kitty perfume. I managed to score two different perfumes that I did not even know existed. This one is from Japan and is a limited version of Angel Heart. Not very many left.

This Hello Kitty Angel perfume was from 1997 distributed in France and was found on Ebay.

HELLO MICKEY

Oh Mickey your so fine you blow my mind when you dress up as Hello Kitty. No one-hit-wonders here. Hello Kitty is the hit of the party dressing up as Mickey Mouse or maybe the other way around. Hello Mickey! Another point for Deviant Art.

But we all know Hello Kitty would never do this!

IF YOU WANT THESE HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM...

These hard to find and gets are up for sale.

HELLO KITTY LIMITED VIDEO GREETING

By Hello Kitty Limited

HELLO KITTY LUXE

There is no luxury knowing that this Hello Kitty was a Limited Edition of 100 plushes only that came with the store merchandise bag. 100 people? That is not even a smidget of a corner in New York. This kitty was released for the grand opening of Sanrio Luxe in New York and sold out before anyone got a chance to blink. This is going to be a long and exhausting search.

HELLO KITTY UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HALLOWEEN

I thought going to Universal Studio's annual Halloween Horror Nights was great but this takes the cake! Hello Kitty is residing at the Universal Studios Park in Japan and spreading the Halloween cheer! Why can't the USA get it together and add more Hello Kitty? There are people here that still do not know who Hello Kitty is and I find that appalling. lol. I actual tried having conversations with people bragging about her and sometimes I have been cut off as if I were talking a foreign language. Oh well. You can't recruit everyone. Here is the merchandise available from Hello Kitty's Halloween at Universal Studios Japan. Snoopy is even a big part of the fun over there. I need to move to Japan.

WHIP IT HELLO KITTY!

Hello Kitty loves activities. Whether it's baking cookies, hanging with friends or roller skating or competing in Roller Derby competitions. Just like the new movie out "Whip It". I am surprised she is not in the movie. This Hello Kitty Roller Skating plush came out awhile back and can not be found anywhere. Guess she "whipped it" out of the market fast!

KITTERMINATOR-SHE'LL BE BACK!

Hello Kitty loves to play dress up especially when it gets closer to Halloween. She is not biased and pretty much trys on anything. Like dressing up as the Terminator. The good version that is. There is no judgement day with kitty. She is all about love even though she doesn't look like it. You can't win every one.

Another masterpiece from Deviant Art.

HELLO KITTY PLAYER COVER COOL OR EVEN MORE COOL?

Since Marge Simpson from The Simpsons decided to pose for Playboy I thought that Hello Kitty deserves the same honor and pose for their competition "Player". You won't find this anywhere else! lol Exclusive!

Even Bart thought it was a good idea too! 

His Mom though... not so much!

LADY GAGA HELLO KITTY GOWN... WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

Nowhere. This is talk of the blog world. Lady Gaga dressed in Hello Kitty plush gown! I have to admit I just started listening to her and this not something I usually blog about but it's just WAY TO COOL TO NOT SAY ANYTHING!  Wear can I buy that?

This was taken for the Hello Kitty 3 Apples event for her 35th Anniversary. I want to go!!!!

ANNA SUI X HELLO KITTY

These are one of the items that you just have to have but too expensive on the online market.Probably because they are no longer available. This Anna Sui Hello Kitty is a favorite of mine but is worth over $120.00 if you can find one. She was released for her 30 years anniversary.

HELLO KITTY AND THE CITY!

All Hello Kitty collectors and fanatics know that a good kitty is hard to find. We are talking about the ones exclusive to particular cities and states. If we don't live there we can't get it. Unless you know someone or pound the Ebay pavement. Below are some examples of the distress I am having trying to get my hands on one of these.  I don't live in any of these places.

HELLO TO KITTY

Bored out of my mind I managed to add a Hello Kitty head to a headless vampire statue for Halloween and came up with this. Limited Edition to me. Kitty likes to be everybody but unfortunately she does not always have the best taste referring to the post below. lol

HELLO KITTY PLUSH AS PARIS HILTON

Now that is true deviant work when you make a Hello Kitty plush after Paris Hilton. Why would Sanrio want to tarnish their image like that? You would think the Hello Kitty as Jason and Freddy would be shocking but this is just downright offensive. But that is exactly what Sanrio did to bring in the dough.  This one for me is already decided on. No way. :)

This was released in Japan but I don't know where and I prefer not to know. lol

A HELLO KITTY DEVIANT HALLOWEEN

I love Hello Kitty very much. But as a fan for whatever reason I find myself drawn to other art forms using this little girl. Now I would never want her to be this way cause I am really into the "cute and sweet" persona but I do welcome unique collaborations such as these. But I can only take so much and then I become disturbed as I just did a minute ago putting a picture up then deciding not too. Way too much.

Hello Freddy

Hello Frankenstein

Hello Charlie

Hello Vampire

You may be able to purchase some of these from the artists!

HELLO KITTY LOVES NEW YORK

Hello Kitty Loves New York and so do I when she is exclusive to the city at Sanrio Luxe in Times Square. Only available as a Limited Edition Broadway Plush keychain. Not too mention their shopping bags are pretty collectors worthy also. Not sure if she is still available.

I became a fan of them on Facebook and found out that they will ship anywhere in the USA! Hooray! You just have to give them a call. Hopefully they are still doing that.

HELLO KITTY VS NOT FOR SALE

Of all the things that Hello Kitty could collaborate with here of some of the things she has not and may not. EVER! Thanks to Joseph for his creative ideas. http://www.myspace.com/yodanz

YOKOSO! JAPAN

Hello Kitty was named ambassador for Japan not too long ago and decided she needed merchandise to go with it as usual. No longer available these "Yokoso! Japan" Hello Kitty nick nacks are sure to be a collectors must have.

SANRIO'S SUGARBUNNIES HAVE LOTTO FEVER TOO!

Just when I thought I was going to get a break from buying once again I hit the jackpot. Now the Taiwan Lottery has Sanrio Sugarbunnies Lottery Scratch off Tickets. Guess I will have to put my shopper to work again to get these for me.

They even have merchandise to compliment your winning streak.

HELLO KITTY MARTINI

I am not a big drinker but I would certainly try a Hello Kitty Martini. It's not shaped like her in anyway and really is just for namesake but still intriguing. You can find this little jem at "Geisha A Go Go" a japanese restaurant in California. Made of a Calpico which is a milky drink from Japan that Hello Kitty has already put her face on as is.

Not sure if this is still available seeing everything involving Hello Kitty is Limited.

I managed to get only one of these in my collection that now no longer has Hello Kitty on them. Figures.

BREAKING NEWS: HELLO KITTY HALLOWEEN PLUSHES SOLD OUT LESS THAN 24 HRS OF RELEASE

These cute little Hello Kitty Halloween plushes were released on the US Sanrio website early morning September 29, 2009 and were sold out by late afternoon. Recording breaking sales!!! These plushes are not in every store so they are a rare find. They even pulled them off the site once they sold out instead of leaving them on there. Since I always check the site very early on the days they usually add new merchandise I was lucky enough to get my hands on the pumpkin plush in the middle.

HELLO KITTY'S HUMANE SOCIETY

There is nothing humane about the way some of these animals at the Human Society have gotten treated but Hello Kitty is to the rescue as she donates a portion of the proceeds from this Limited Edition Humane Society T-Shirt to the animal charity. This shirt is no longer available and was only available on the US Sanrio website.

HELLO SMURF

This is one of those things that you wish you could find but does not exist except as a picture on the web. Two of my favorite characters morphed into one. Smurfette needs a bow and I need this in my collection.

THE HELLO KITTY WHINE (WINE)

There is no whining going on right now. I am a happy Hello Kitty fanatic finally finding Hello Kitty Wine in the USA. You have to be 21 remember so if your not please stop reading now. RIGHT NOW. And please don't send me whining emails. LOL.

 

It's all wine and roses from here! Will be saving my "roses" for News Years Eve.

HELLO KITTY VS MARILYN MONROE

Hello Kitty likes it hot or whatever item she can be popular collaborating with like Marilyn Monroe. Universal Studios in Japan offers an assortment of Hello Kitty items dressed up as Marilyn Monroe which brings me back to a comment I made about some items that should of been released in the USA and this would be one of them seeing that Marilyn Monroe started here. Come on usa get it right for once!

This little kitty is available on ebay! Right now!

KITTY JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN

Of course girls just want to have fun. It's not much fun if you don't. Hello Kitty thinks so too as she displays herself on a t-shirt found at a Macy's store telling us that dressed up thinking she is part Sarah Jessica Parker from that 80s movie "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and part Cyndi Lauper singing it. Unfortunately that outfit of hers looks more like Madonna's. But it's still a great shirt. Good luck finding it.

I thought Hello Kitty was going to be there SJP?


Maybe Kitty is in this video?


Miley Cyrus thinks so too!

MY LITTLE KITTY

Hello kitty! My Little Pony is all the rage now with custom designs of your favorite characters from past and present. Here is My Little Pony as Hello Kitty. If you are into the unique and rare items this is a great item to have. You are so sweet!

HELLO KITTY CARES TO BE AWARE (PINK RIBBON) AGAIN!

Hello Kitty is just popping up continously so that I can not keep up with her. But I love her anyway. Hello Kitty once again supports Pink Ribbon Cancer Awareness this time in the USA with her Hello Kitty "Care to be Aware" T-Shirt from Torrid. A portion of the proceeds go to cancer research. There goes my wallet again but at least some of it is for charity.

HELLO KITTY PAYS A VISIT TO KATEIGAHO INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE.........

5 years ago that is and it took me this long to figure this out after subscribing to the magazine for years. I love japanese culture and what the magazine is about but I was expecting a article or cover for Hello Kitty ALOT. I am so spoiled. The issue was for Hello Kitty's 30th Birthday celebration. Now I have been trying to search for this magazine with no luck and will have to put it on the list of hard to finds. It is the Spring 2004.

HELLO KITTY'S GOT LOTTO FEVER

Hello Kitty's got lotto fever! In Taiwan that is. This is one of the rarities that I suprisingly get my hands on. A Hello Kitty Scratch Off Lottery Ticket. This is not scratched and does not have any value except collectors value and I just don't care. I wanted it! Why can't stuff like this be done in the USA? It seems like Taiwan has the best stuff and I have more where that came from but will discuss it in the future, stuff that should of been released in the USA but for whatever reason was not.

The Hello Kitty Scratch Off Lottery Ticket is currently running in Taiwan but will be difficult to get as it was sold out in most stores over there.

SANRIO HELLO KITTY CATALOG

For those of you that do not get around on the net much Sanrio Japan releases a catalog of merchandise to VIP'S only every few months. These are very hard to get but if you manage to know someone who knows someone you may be in luck. I managed to get a few from someone who had them and I did not even know them. Another point for me!

          

HELLO PERFUME

Among the thousand of celebrities and department stores that spray out tons of perfume every year Hello Kitty is no exception. A new perfume by Koto (in France) is being launched for the "Hello Kitty Woman". This is Hello Kitty's 6th perfume known on the market. Made for the 18-35 year old. So what happens in 4 years when I will be over 35?

Hello Kitty also has a baby perfume, kids perfume and a perfume by "Bath and Body Works" out there for those clamoring to add to their collection. Dreamkitty.com is currently offering the USA for the first time the baby and kids perfume.

Bath and Body Works Hello Kitty Perfume (Comes with Leather case and necklace) No Longer at store.

MAKE YOUR OWN HELLO KITTY LIMITED EDITION

Sometimes one just does not have the money to find a special Hello Kitty Limited Edition so in spare time you can make your own like this Monster Mash Up video by Oriental Trading which allows you to put heads on the characters. Of course I chose Hello Kitty and a few other Sanrio friends.

Check out the Hello Kitty and friends video here:

They even do the "Thriller" dance at the end. Another Michael Jackson collaboration. Yeah!

GARBAGE PAIL KITTY AKA GOODBYE KITTY

Now as a serious Hello Kitty collector and fan I usually would not normally go for something like this but in this case resembling Garbage Pail Kids trading cards from the 80s I must say I was a lttle intrigued by this and reminding me of the Hello Kitty plushes I would get from my other half on special occasions.
Goodbye Kitty is from the Wacky Packages trading card collection from 2005 and was originally set up for distribution with Topps at the San Diego Comic Con. You can find some of this art on Ebay.

But poor Kitty. Don't ever make a plush that looks like this.

WATCH THE MAGIC KITTY-TRIBUTE TO HALLOWEEN 3 MOVIE

HELLO KITTY FRIENDSHIP BOUQUET

Now I love Hello Kitty but I do not consider myself a friend of hers if I eat her. But some people might so if that is your taste Edible Arrangements can arrange for that with their Hello Kitty Friendship Bouquet filled with various fruits such as strawberries, cantelope and pineapple. Plus a cute little tin to remind you of the friend that you are. Available in the USA and canada!

HELLO COWY 2

Here is some of the hard to find items the cows.ca used to carry with Hello Kitty as Hello Cowy line. These particular items are no longer sold and will not be brought back. 2 different versions of the Hello Cowy keychain and a bookmark. Can you spot the difference?

At one point they even mimicked Hello Kitty's friend Scooby Doo as Scooby Moo.

HELLO COWY

One of my favorite collaborations with Hello Kitty is with a little unknown company called "Cows Prince     

Edward Island" out of Canada. They mimick famous shows and pop culture using cows. One of the most popular of course is... Hello Cowy aka Hello Kitty. So if you love cows AND Hello Kitty this is a must have.

HELLO KITTY HALLOWEEN FLOWER ARRANGMENT

Just when you think Hello Kitty is just about on everything you get another blow... a Hello Kitty Halloween flower arrangment. Now if you are in the doghouse with your better half and they love Hello Kitty this should fix the trick. Except for one thing... this arrangment is exclusive to Japan so if you don't live there better luck next time.

HELLO KITTY VS MICHAEL JACKSON AGAIN -A HOT TOPIC!

Something has now come to the attention of Hello Kitty Limited in regards to Michael Jackson. In a previous blog it was noted that there was nothing yet to collaborate the two but spoken too soon Hot Topic is now offering a Hello Kitty Thriller T-Shirt for Halloween. Exclusive to them. Plus size available also. This is a real "thrill" for me!
