Think of a kitty, a famous one you know, the one whose face is on quite a few merchandise that we all love and go "ape" about. Who is this famous kitty I am referring to? That's Hello Kitty of course! Did you know Hello Kitty is a little girl, as in a human girl?
The owners of the brand recently revealed that Hello Kitty is a little girl who attends Primary School (that is Elementary School for the U.S.) and lives in London. What?! How can that be? According to Sanrio, the creative company of our favorite Kitty...er, little human, consumers assumed she was a cat because of the markings on her face which are not whiskers. But, but......OK, maybe those are earrings?! ~must make sense of this~ She can be whomever the people who love her want her to be (ad lib here). Sanrio knew from the beginning that she was a little girl who lives in England. She even has a twin sister, and a cat of her own!!!
I talked to my 13 year old about this because she (along with her friends), are big Hello Kitty fans. Amanda always want something Hello Kitty and recently begged for and received that cute pair of Hello Kitty glasses. When I shared this news, she was absolutely surprised and immediately went to every photo she had featuring her to make sure. She had the same response, "...the whiskers... and the ears...?" She's not upset about it, and has taken the news in stride!
For the 40th anniversary, the company will publish the story behind Hello Kitty...how she began, so keep an eye out for this upcoming book (which will definitely reveal her background). In the mean time, there will be a special day for Hello Kitty fans to celebrate, a Reading Day. It is this year on October 25th. There will be all sorts of activities centered around this day. I've linked the website below where you can not only download the cool icon I've placed in this article, you can get caught up on what is planned for that special reading day, and also participate if you which to.
We have taken the fact that Hello Kitty is human in stride dear readers, how about you? If you have children, do they know this? I would love to hear your thoughts, and especially theirs!
I perused articles on Newsmax.com and Mirror.co.uk to help with the details of this article.
