I guess this is the post where I admit I haven't grown up . . .
Right before Christmas a dear Japanese family friend sent my Mom the above Hello Kitty on the left. It was an incredible, most unexpected surprise. The Hello Kitty on the right I got several years ago at a Sanrio store in the Mall.
My first experience with Hello Kitty was in the first grade at Christmas. I got a Hello Kitty backpack full of school supplies. That day I became a fan, and that backpack went everywhere.
Now, I'm no fanatic or anything, but I do have a few token items I really enjoy, such as the original Hello Kitty perfume by Sephora. It's fruity, yet sophisticated. Honestly, Sephora has quite a collection of nice beauty products for us older fans. And a few years ago MAC did a Hello Kitty cosmetics line.
It almost seems like she's more popular now then when I was a kid. She's everywhere, literally, and I get the feeling she ain't going away anytime soon.
It's kinda funny but my Mom, who didn't know I was already planning to write on this subject, got me the Honey Day gift below. (A honey day gift is a gift you give a friend, family member, etc, on a day other then a holiday.)
Fun, sweet, and cute, she never gets old.
