Kitty Glitter

Things Are Good In The Doghouse

What has a plush Hello Kitty cushion, topped with a cascade of 7600 Swarovski crystals? A $31,660 doghouse, that's what. The one-of-a-kind fancy residence, large enough for a lapdog like a chihuahua or terrier, goes on sale later this month. Sanrio Co., the company behind the Hello Kitty range of products, said it was created especially for a sales event at a Tokyo department store. Don't scoff - a Hello Kitty Fender Stratocaster electric guitar sold last year for $20,460.

The cult of Hello Kitty! There was a special on one of our newsertainment shows about it, one woman has the entire Hello Kitty house, including toilet. The interview with the creator was REALLY interesting. He said the pyschology behind it was to make sure the character has no mouth because you speak for her and also it allows us to project our emotions on to Hello Kitty and makes her non-judgemental because she's only a mirror for our needs.
