All things Hello Kitty
 

Hello my fellow Hellow Kitty lovers. This is hard for me to admit, but I love Hello Kitty! I try to keep it under wraps by buying discreet HK items (since I am 33 years old and have no kids to blame the purchases on :p ) because after all, I am a working, professional adult. But Sanrio has soooooo many adorable items that it is hard. :( I'm starting to think that Sanrio is putting subliminal messages in their advertising a la Halloween 3: Silver Shamrock.

And now, I am fascinated with Chococat!

I can't be the only adult that likes Hello Kitty. :D

My name is SWTXBelle ...
 

. . . and I love Hello Kitty. My freshman dorm room was Hello Kitty ('82) - everyone else had SMURFS. This was before you could easily get HK. I used a HK notebook in graduate school, and was thrilled I had two girls first - the eldest(gypsyboots) liked Keriokeropi (sp?) best, though.

I am more restrained now, but do have a sequined HK head on my cell phone. I wish I could get the HK electric guitar for gypsyboots - she would LOVE it.

I love Hello Kitty but I ADORE her friend, Chococat. He's such a cutie!

OMG, I am in love with Chococat too! I went to Claire's last night and they had TONS of Chococat stuff. I remained calm and just bought the Chococat booble head (for my desk at home) and a necklace (for weekends/going out).

I'm waiting on Build-a-Bear to get Chococat so I can go make one! :D

Can YOU get out of my head please? I spent $68 in Claire's yesterday between my daughter and me. I spent about 15 minutes looking at the HK section. I used to have a notebook with HK, Chocolat and Melody on it. I have Chocolat pencils and a book bag.

OMG I had a Chococat notebook, journal, and note paper a few years ago, and still have a small Chococat stuffed animal that you can hang from your backpack (he's just sitting on a shelf). I wanted the umbrella but my husband looked at me with such pity that I decided against it. Of course, now I am going to go to Claire's and take a look at what's there.

I fell in love with him bc I have a black cat, and can't resist looking for stuff if I see HK.

ETA I also have a Chococat CD case in my car.

I Heart Hellokitty!

I had a HK cordless phone in my apartment a few years ago...until a glass of water on my nightstand fell on it and it refused to work again....:(

I keep HK pens in my purse for check-writing purposes.

One of the Media Specialists at my school has a HK CD player in her office.

Target usually has a pretty good selection of fun HK items in their electronics department. And isn't somebody doing HK diamond jewelry now?

^^ Yes I think Kimora Lee Simmons does HK jewelery for Baby Phat.

The Target dollar bins were great! I got some fun stuff.

I love Kitty! Pink is for girls :)

I don't know if it's what you were referring to, but Zales has HK jewlery

I have a Hello Kitty BOA debit card!

She is the background of my phone.

She is my wall calendar for the past 2 years (and I have the 09 calendar ready to go).

She is my pencil/pen case.

She is my notebook (every one for the past 4 years)!

I have several "dolls" (all gifts), pillows, and other accessories.

I LOVE HELLO KITTY (especially when they make her with brown skin because she looks even more like me!) Even my chapter nickname is based on Hello Kitty!

ETA: Chococat is pretty awesome, too. <3 That he's "black"! (My boyfriend has a nickname for me that is similar to Chococat, also.)

When I lived in Honolulu, there was a Japanese toy store behind the store where I worked. They carried huge amounts of HK stuff-this was in the late seventies and HK must have been new but every afternoon, the place would be crammed with schoolgirls who would leave with loaded bags.

My ZTA daughter is a major fan of both Hello Kitty and pirates and I've just found her a HK pirate shirt in Hot Topic, I don't believe it.

:eek: i want one too!!!

i have been in love with HK since the 3rd grade. i was a student ambassador and was teamed up with a girl named Makiko and she had the BADDEST electric HK pencil box that i wanted soooo much. Alas, in the days before eBay and Yahoo, she had brought it with her from Japan lol!

now that i have 2 daughters, i have excuses to go buy stuff lol! i bought HK pajamas for my sorority's pink pajama jam for breast cancer in october...and my oldest will be getting a matching set!

Chococat fan

One of my colleagues LOVES Hello Kitty.

I liked it as a little girl. I remember a store at the Florida Mall called Sanrio Gift Gate. And at a shopping center in my old hometown there was a store called Celebration that sold A LOT of Sanrio goodies.

Now where I live there are a few stores that sell Hello Kitty.

HK was the design on my checks for about two years. :)

I love Cinnamoroll! Those ears are so cute! :-)

Mitsukoshi at Epcot (in the Japanese Pavillion) is loaded with HK stuff.

While I was down in Tampa earlier in the month I found a Sanrio Store! I hadn't been in one in many years! Needless to say I bought a few things. I can't find it on their website, but I found this cute panda bear ornament that was on a tree and a cute panda bear pen! I grew up with lots of Hello Kitty things. There is actually a store in Oxford, MS that sells Hello Kitty!

I have the Hello Kitty BofA card too! Everytime I use it, I get TONS of compliments. lol

and to piggyback off of what ZTAMich posted earllier - yeah, the dollar bins at Target has been off the chain with HK stuff! I bought pens, the light up stamp, stickers, and TONS of HK stuff so go check it out if you can!

Too cute!

I have loved HK for years!!

I wear a very blingy HK pendant with business suits or dresses for social events and hordes of people come up to be asking about it!

I was jonesin' for this Judith Leiber purse!

...another HK fan here! It's amazing how you can find her everywhere now. When I was little, HK was only found at the Sanrio store, and it was way overpriced. It's cool that girls can buy HK products for $1 at Target nowdays (and grown-up gals)! :)

Your post made me remember this article in Glamour a while back - no, you're not the only adult who likes Hello Kitty: http://blog.sanriotown.com/hotzone:h...-kitty-toilet/

The Times Square Sanrio store reopened recently. From what I hear it's not like your average mall store!!! Think Bling & Bucks!

i am an addict. among the little "cutesy" things in my collection, my 2 faves are the practical ones: my BOA card, and a kimora neclace.

in feb i WILL be purchasing the complete MAC collection

So do any of you have the Hello Kitty AR-15?

Yes it's real.

I am in love with Hello Kitty!!! I have HK bookmarks, HK pillows and blankets, HK notebooks, HK stickers all over my laptop, HK flannel PJ's (they're soo comfy), I have the HK pirate shirt from Hot Topic, I have a HK husband (those pillows with arms I think that's what they're called), I even have HK ribbons, I used to have HK cell phone charm that my friend bought back from Japan but it broke [insert sad face] but I'm looking for a new one..

I also have a little HK book from like my 12th birthday that talked about her family, her hobbies, her birthday, etc. it also had stickers and little recipes in the back (the friendship brownies were pretty good)

Exactly...I remember when I was growing up, I wanted HK stuff sooo bad, but mom always told me it was too expensive. It made me sad.

I like this one best

(from the zales website mentioned earlier)

That character is called Pandapple. He's ADORABLE.

I've already been told I'm getting that for Christmas!

OMG I am SO jealous! If we do meet in person, you must wear it!!!

Another alum and I are going to formal this year. That necklace would look really cute with my dress...can I borrow it? Please? :)

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not up on my Judith anymore apparently because I had no idea that she had made a Hello Kitty purse!

Urban Outfitters has a ton of HK ornaments and other random items. I got a really pretty glass ornament!!

There is a new Sanrio store at one of the malls in my county. Wait till I tell my Hello Kitty loving colleague about this...if she has not found out yet!

they are doing a hello kitty hour on qvc right now!!! (that or hsn, the channels were being flipped thru kinda fast...)
