You mean there are malls that _don’t_ have Hello Kitty stores? **Inconceivable!** I don’t care one way or another for HK, myself. My wife has some stuff, including his and hers matching Hello Kitty bath towels… ---

Please close this thread. We went for so very long without it (19 months!) so it’s clear that we don’t really need it. DEATH TO **HELLO KITTY!!** 😃 ---

Hello Kitty vibrator? That’s sick! 🙂 I want the Hello Kitty toaster, and I also want the steering wheel cover. I also saw a really snazzy looking HK cd player once. I’m almost 32. ---

I’ve always been partial to **Badtz Maru** myself. Kinda has a Daria vibe to him, you know what I’m saying? A vibrator? I’ve seen one of those. A steering wheel cover too, huh? Maybe I should invest in one of those for my friend. He might like it. Oh, and **ThisYearsGirl** , where in SC do you hail from, by chance? ---

::ahem:: Hello Kitty is all that is right and good with the world. She is sweetness and light, the yin and yang of existence. To gaze upon her face is to experience unconditional love and acceptance. But don’t gaze too long…for you may not be able to look away ever, once trapped in her cute and loving eyes. Hello Kitty doesn’t judge, she doesn’t scold or speak harshly. Those that don’t understand her may ridicule her, but she still loves them. She knows that deep down, they see her for what she is…a cute little kitty cat with a tilted bow in her hair and no mouth. Remember this, my friends…Hello Kitty loves you! ---

Why do I suddenly feel like I should be handing out “Hello Kitty” leaflets at the airport? ---
