Hello Kitty opens-up shop in Times Square
Filed under: News
Hello Kitty has been on bit of a whirlwind this year. First, she was named ambassador to Japan. This past summer, she was placed on the cover of Vogue. And now, she's got a hot new boutique in Times Square. Work it, girl!
The first ever Sarino, the parent company of the Hello Kitty brand, luxe concept spot will opened its doors in New York last week. The shop is filled to the max with everything from pencils to diamond encrusted pendants, all covered with the oh so adorable and mouthless face of Hello Kitty.
All of the saccharine gear is meant "to attract fashion-forward women in their 20s" who grew up on the brand and other equally popular icons like Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake.

It's Sanrio, not Sarino. I loved Hello Kitty when I was a kid, as well as other Sanrio characters like Little Twin Stars and Melody. Will check this out next time I'm in NYC.

WOW. Are articles being typed by retards now?
You misspelled Sanrio...and i absolutely LOVE this sentence: The first ever Sarino, the parent company of the Hello Kitty brand, luxe concept spot will opened its doors in New York last week.
Will and opened do not make sense together. You must've skipped class when they taught subject and verb agreement.
How can you be a professional writer and not proofread your stuff that is plastered all over the internet? I could write better than you any day of the week.
Can I have your job? :)

Another edit--Hello Kitty is also popular with many women in their 30s. We were the first group to grow up with Hello Kitty and friends, believe it or not!
