Hello Kitty Con has come & gone but you can still visit the Japanese American National Museum in downtown LA to tour their Hello Kitty exhibit. This 40-year retrospective is entitled Hello! Exploring the Supercute World of Hello Kitty. For those who follow my blog, you’ll remember that I visited Hello Kitty Con last month. As part of my one-day pass, I was able to visit both Hello Kitty Con AND the Japanese American National … [Read more...]

Hello Kitty Con 2014 Recap

Posted on November 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Hello Kitty Con, Japanese American National Museum, Little Tokyo | 4 Comments

Thousands of Hello Kitty fans lined the streets of downtown Los Angeles to attend Hello Kitty Con last week. I attended a media preview of Hello Kitty Con last Wednesday night, but because I am such a Hello Kitty nerd, I went back another day to view it again with the public. Hello Kitty Con took place at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (The Museum of Contemporary Art) in DTLA. It is literally steps away from the Little Tokyo district, … [Read more...]

NEW Hello Kitty Must-Haves for Fall 2014

Posted on October 21, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Hello Kitty Con, Hello Kitty products, Sanrio | 9 Comments

Hello Kitty Con is just around the corner & I cannot wait! As a lifelong fan of Sanrio, I have been buying Hello Kitty items for as long as I can remember.  I find it fascinating that Hello Kitty merchandise is bought by people of all ages with varying cultural & economic backgrounds - from cute Hello Kitty plush for little kids to high-end Ju-Ju-Be diaper bags purchased by mothers. So what is it about Hello Kitty that enables her to have … [Read more...]

Hello Kitty Con, Here I Come!

Posted on September 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Hello Kitty's 40th Anniversary, Hello Kity Con, Sanrio | 10 Comments

I have been a Hello Kitty fan for a long, long time. As a young Asian-American girl growing up in the 70’s, I was all about Hello Kitty. Sure, my friends & I were into Barbies, but there was something about Hello Kitty merchandise that I just had to have. I remember going mall shopping with my parents & if we happened to pass a Sanrio store, then I begged them to go inside. Inevitably I would ask my dad to buy me a small Hello Kitty plush … [Read more...]

Emmys 2014 #StyleLab Jewelry Preview

Posted on August 25, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Emmys 2014, jewelry preview, red carpet fashion | 6 Comments

For a lot of people, the red carpet arrivals at a glamorous awards show is just as important as the award show itself. Personally I love to see who wears what outfit & the type of jewelry, handbag or shoes the person is wearing. Print & online magazines are devoted to this coverage that very same day or week. Also folks like Joan Rivers & Giuliana Rancic spend hours analyzing the fashion hits & misses. So it's no wonder that … [Read more...]
