Happy 35th Birthday to Hello Kitty!


She hasn't aged a day since her debut 35 years ago and still looks as cute as ever. Did you know that Hello Kitty lives in London with her parents and twin sister Mimi? The woman who created her is Ikuko Shimizu.

A special exhibition called "Three Apples" of Hello Kitty-inspiried art is at the L.A. theatre space, Royal-T until November 15th. There's even an entire apartment outfitted with Hello Kitty things, and tokidoki artist, Simone Legno, created a special poster just for the event (available for $20). The exhibit is open to the public and free. (BTW, "three apples" is how much Hello Kitty weighs.)



At the opening party on October 22nd, tween celebrity Miranda Cosgrove of Nickelodeon's iCarly was in attendance, as was Tarina Tarantino and Kimora Lee Simmons. The birthday party today included breakfast of Hello Kitty waffles and pancakes, artist workshop, temporary tattoo booth, and, of course, birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Hello Kitty!

I REALLY HOPE YOUR JOKING BECAUSE YOU SOUND RIDICULOUS. TO EVEN GO AS FAR AS TO EVEN THINK ABOUT COMPARING SUICIDE WITH HAVING A TATTOO MAKES ME SICK. PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON THIS WORLD IS TURNING TO SHIT. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE I WANT TO SAY BUT I HAVE ALREADY WASTED ENOUGH OF MY TIME COMMENTING ON YOUR IGNORANCE AND STUPUDITY TO BEGIN WITH.
