Celebrities and fans alike came together and attended the Hello Kitty party of Hello Kitty?s 35th anniversary at Royal/T located in the Los Angeles area on October 22. Apparently, Sanrio isn?t a brand just for kids?the event included go go dancers, Hello Kitty maids and plenty of alcohol. Notable celebrities in attendance at the Hello Kitty party were Kimora Lee Simmons, designer of Baby Phat, Paris Hilton, who?s known for being Paris Hilton, and surprising guests like Dave Navarro of INXS and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, evidence of Hello Kitty?s widespread appeal.
The main attraction of the Hello Kitty party was the launching of an exhibition called Three Apples, which will display the multitude of artworks that have been inspired by the Hello Kitty icon. The name ?Three Apples? refers to the equivalent of Hello Kitty?s alleged weight, but it includes way more than 3 events. In addition to the art exhibit, there will be an apartment completely decked out in Hello Kitty d?cor plus another exhibit showcasing unique Hello Kitty products that are unfamiliar in the US since after all, Hello Kitty belonged to Japan first. Following these attractions are a series of happenings so numerous that it?ll be impossible to get bored at 2009?s Hello Kitty party extravaganza. There will be a Hello Kitty brunch, a meet and greet with Hello Kitty designers, Hello Kitty art, jewelry and sushi/bento workshops, Hello Kitty happy hour, Hello Kitty karaoke, photo sessions with Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty trick or treat, a Hello Kitty tattoo parlor, Hello Kitty party games, a singing of ?Happy Birthday? to Hello Kitty herself, a meet and greet with the Three Apples artists, a Hello Kitty masquerade, and a Hello Kitty fashion show.
