But first
So there I was, at Royal/T cuisine, not really aware that it was the opening weekend of their Hello Kitty retrospective exhibit- including but not limited to: new merchandise, old merchandise (Hello Kitty toilet seat?), Hello Kitty-shaped food, and original artwork by contemporary artists celebrating Sanrio’s feline wonder. As much as it was a zoo, the only portion that required waiting in a line was going to the store to buy shit.
That said, I had an awesome time. You get so caught up in it, milling about with dozens of women and children all freaking out over the Hello Kitty couture (I saw a $4,000 hello kitty diamond tennis bracelet), and you begin to participate in the frenzy. What exactly does Hello Kitty mean? Why exactly do I connect with this capitalistic cultural phenomenal? Who the fuck cares– I just did!
For your viewing pleasure, here are some highlights. The rest of the pics I’ll upload on fbook.
