I loved Isaac Mizrahi's original half-hour show on Oxygen -- three interesting segments interspersed with a little music. If I were QVC, I'd aim for that vibe.
I feel like Hello Kitty exists in a parallel universe, known as "Japan." Maybe it's because she and her pals never caught on here in the US (though I will cop to owning a Pochaco lunchbox), but I am mystified by all the high-end Swarovski crystal-studded 14 carat Hello Kitty products. Who buys this stuff?
@Yahtzii: I'll go ahead and say I'm right there with you. Actually, I'll take it one step further and say I hate that HK has gone from a lovely little cartoon character to a "brand". I was a Sanrio nut as a kid, and even so, I find the whole blinging-out to be extremely tacky and also extremely indicative of our youth-obsessed culture. It's not cute anymore if it's encrusted with pave diamonds and set in platinum and costs thousands of dollars. (Or worn by Mariah Carey, who seems to have her own little youth obsession going on.)
@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: The thing that really confuses me is that the reason she's so cute is because of her simplicity and innocence. She is neither of those things when made into a diamond ring that costs more than my house.
Also, if I had that much money, WHY would I spend it on something branded with Hello Kitty?

How many pairs of Hello Kitty sneakers do you think will end up in Mariah Carey's shoe closet?

@save jinger: ZERO! They're flat! She even pitches in heels!

@Yahtzii: Maybe she wants them for display in her bathroom.

@Yahtzii: She's wearing sneakers here!
