Quoted From My Blog about all things Cute and Internet

Hello Kitty is joined by her twin sister Mimmy in her venture of “cosplaying” the Olympic Panda Icon from China.

Sanrio has resealed a new design series in their Hello Kitty line.

The Angel and Devil Series was newly released in the Japanese site, giving way to a number of matching products… Perfumes, watches, and dresses, catering more the Hello Kitty’s older fans.

Hello Kitty seems to be following the “evil” trend started by Kuromi, aka the “Evil My Melody”. Sanrio fans soon found Lloromanic as the evil siblings or cousins of the Cinamoroll and CinamoAngels, and we knew that we wouls soon have the “evil” Hello Kitty.
