Here’s something everybody needs…
….a Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED®, Hello Kitty, MP3 music player.
This encrusted, Hello Kitty Pod has a 2GB memory capacity, a pink Audiotechnica earphone set, and the reasonable price of 13,800 yen or about $149.91USD.
Find more details on the Japanese Rakuten site (mega-funky machine translation).

Hello Kitty appears to be alive in this vivisection play toy, doesn’t it?

These images and more details come from Dr. Romanelli x Hello Kitty “Anatomy” Release at Highsnobiety.com.
‘I was a teenage vivisectionist‘ is the self-introductory phrase I always use. That is, at age 19, I was a work-study researcher who used to start every day by ripping out the “pipping body” from the brains of 100 live turkey poults. Therefore, this Hello Kitty’s vivisection playtime seems quite normal to me.

The luxury crystal maker Swarovski, Japan’s Sanrio Corp. and Japanese jewelery maker I.K. unveiled their 15 million yen (150,000 USD) and 10.5 cm-tall Hello Kitty at the “Girlish Culture Hello Kitty” show in Tokyo today.

The “O-Bon” season, when ancestral spirits return for their annual visit—which is darn close to traditional Halloween when the dead revisited the mortal world. Except in Japanese O-Bon, there are lanterns to guide the spirits of the dead home rather than Jack-o-lanterns to scare them away.

The Forces of Darkness—evil Hello Kitties are gathering over Japan….
The first warning came last night with an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 rattled Tokyo and eastern Japan, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Then, this morning we were hit with the edge of Typhoon Etau, which killed at least 12 people and many others missing, with a second typhoon also on its way by Wednesday.
Then I saw the Devilish Duo, evil Hello Kitties wandering the streets of Tokyo beneath the gathering storm clouds as you can see in the photo.
Be scared…be very scared.
My friend “Mulboyne” found this photo of the “Kegadol Empress”, which was originally posted by the blogger “Ofellabuta.”

Of course I have to answer with the real Queen of Japan, the Kega (injured) (i)dol royal, Damaged Hello Kitty.

Sanrio has teamed up with Citizen to put a giant Hello Kitty solar -powered clock on sale next month with a price of 300,000 yen or about $3,000 USD.
I would say this 70cm in diameter Kitty clock weighing 10kg would be perfect as a neck pendant*, don’t you?
*See the comments for an example.
