Three different styles of Hello Kitty shrinage

A friend recently posted photographs of a Hello Kitty shrine on Facebook, and I thought, how ridiculous! Of course, it turns out there are more than one type of Hello Kitty shrine in the world. I have no idea why, but there are two more after the jump.

New Hello Kitty theme park opens in Odaiba

Great news for Hello Kitty fetishists! On October 22nd, Sanrio opened a new theme park at Tokyo's entertainment hub, Odaiba, called Hello Kitty Kawaii Paradise. From the park map, it looks like there's a theater, a gift shop, and a pancake corner... and giant dancing mascots. Its biggest clientele = Kitty fans from other parts of Asia, who are flocking the joint to get a glimpse of the one and only Venus Hello Kitty. (Venus, the goddess, is the namesake of the facility that houses the amusement park, called Venus Fort.)

Spotted on Haight Street: Hello Kitty iPhone case

Last thing I would have expected in Haight-Ashbury... a Hello Kitty iPhone case. Also, would you think I was fobby if I carried my MacBook around in that kitschy thing next to it?

$500 Hello Kitty water

Hollywood company Fillico has created a special edition Hello Kitty version of their ridiculously overpriced bottled water. For $500, you can choose from five different types of Hello Kitty water. Red = friendship, pink = cute, yellow = heartful, green = wish, lavender = sweet. I suppose it could be a cute gift or novelty item at a wedding if you were ridiculously rich and ridiculously ridiculous.
