    I made that EXACT same cake for my daughter's birthday 4 years ago. And it started my cake decorating hobby.
    When I was little, I got Hello Kitty toys and stickers when I got good grades.
    So see? Some good comes out of this kitty. #hellokitty

    Am now envisioning Hello Kitty's birthday party: A girlfriends' spa getaway to Dollywood. A giant pink cake. Guests include Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, Tinkerbell and Mariah Carey. #hellokitty

    How is Hello Kitty going to support all four of those kittens on her own? Does she really think Kuromi is going to stick around? This is why it's so important to spay or neuter your pets... #hellokitty

    Granted I'm not a big fan of Hello Kitty but her not having a mouth is complete news to me. But happy birthday anyways, i'd say have a piece of cake, but we've already established that that would be rather difficult for you. #hellokitty

    A woman I work with tells this great story about seeing a "Hello Kitty" vibrator while strolling through one of the more "colorful" neighborhoods of Vancouver, CA. According to Liz, the use of the HK icon on a sex toy was a desecration.

    If you ask me, it was pretty amusing! #hellokitty

    I love Hello Kitty. Two of my favorite possessions when I was little was my HK diary and personalized name stamp. The latter was especially awesome because I could NEVER find my name on anything personalized.

    I loooooove all the HK stuff that's out there but because I am a Responsible Adult with a child I refrain, for the most part. I have some luggage tags (easier to spot on the carousel!) and stationery that I only use to write notes to my best friend. And I have a HK in a baseball uniform (two of my favorite things together!) key fob on my work ID. At my personality-free office this counts as a quirk. #hellokitty

    Hello Kitty has no appeal to me at all. Even as a kid I didn't really like her, but I really don't get the adult love for her. Does this mean I'm a cold-hearted monster? #hellokitty

    @NellMood: I don't get it either. She doesn't have any kind of personality built up around her, like other (better) toys. I don't think she necessarily needs to have a cartoon, but she needs to do something other than just sit there and be cute and docile. Or is that the point? #hellokitty

    @Dictator for Life: Japan has a tradition of creating aesthetically appealing characters for the sake of creating toy lines and merchandise. Plot and personality, etc all come after. (Another example is Domo Kun, pictured) #hellokitty

    @NellMood: I liked her as a kid, but then it ended. I was very much at odds with a roommate who was Hello Kitty obsessed. There was much contention over her buying a Hello Kitty toaster and insisting on putting it out in the kitchen when we already had a very nice toaster oven. I get kids, but I don't understand when grown-ass women obsess over a cartoon cat. (And the money they spend! It's a merchandisers dream! She bought shrimp flavored ramen noodles because they had Hello Kitty on them - and she was a vegetarian!) #hellokitty

    1. I feel old. I used to get Hello Kitty stuff when you could only find it in specialty stores that also included Asian foods or when my dad would go to Japan and bring back a lunchbox or doll.
    2. I love how much Hello Kitty is embraced by the Goth subculture and turned into something completely weird and cute.
    3. The brand is only 5 years older than me. I feel really, really, really old.
