When my dear Curiouslaydee returned from her adventures in Hong Kong she brought me back a bag full of Hello Kitty goodies both useful (camera case) and still useful but kind of silly (Hello Kitty printed paper towels).

My favorite item though has to be these stickers featuring Hello Kitty as various cultural icons: Sherlock Holmes, The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Jack & Rose from “Titanic” (lol)…

And even Hello Kitty as one of the moai on Easter Island! Yet another instance of two of my favorite things coming together. (See also: tiki and baseball, sexy vampires and Hawaiian music, Shag and Star Wars, and Shag (again) and Disneyland, to name a few.
