Prior to her jail bird days, Paris was more of a kitty kat. First with the Hello Kitty diary, whoops sorry I meant the Hello Kitty Hello Love! Locked Diary to be precise. Then there were the Hello Kitty tees and stuffed toys. Carmen Electra has also been seen with Hello Kitty merchandise.



There is a lot of Hello Kitty merchandise out there, like the Hello Kitty USB port for example, and then there is the Hello Kitty guitar and amp (of course!). I also came across the Hello Kitty tombstone, Hello Kitty skype phone, Hello Kitty digital camera and mp3 player, Hello Kitty ipod docking station and even a Hello Kitty exhaust for your car.



I guess the thing that really freaked me out the most when I looked closely was that Hello Kitty has no mouth, which makes it look kind of sad, don't you think?

So what do you think of Hello Kitty? Cute or kitsch?

Some hello Kitty stuff is just too far but the guitar I like (that's my graduation present from my mom at least) and I have a few hello kitty things myself it's all the rage in Japan but the US is taking it a little too far.

i luv hello kitty, although it is a bit tacky at times. I used to have a hello kitty pillow and bedspread set!

I don't think they've ever been retailed.
