For years, several of the entertainment industry's top players have been spotted toting their Hello Kitty accessories. It's not unusual to catch a glimpse of a famous actress, singer, or supermodel wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt, hat, or sweater. But, other accessories are beginning to find their way into the lives of these celebrities.
Mariah Carey has admitted to having a Hello Kitty hair dryer in her bathroom. Christina Aguilera is often seen wearing Hello Kitty jewelry while out shopping. She's even been known to wear her jewelry during promotional photo shoots. Gwen Stefani has a Kitty case for her cell phone while Drew Barrymore loves the watches. Many of these elite celebrities can't get enough of Hello Kitty!
But, it's not just out in public that these ladies show their dedication. Aguilera loves the Hello Kitty wastebaskets and uses them in her home. Singer Lisa Loeb can't imagine making coffee at home without her Hello Kitty coffee maker. But, she also owns a Kitty waffle maker and rice cooker.
So, why are these celebs going crazy for Hello Kitty paraphernalia? Loeb says she doesn't like looking at things that are boring. She likes the playful creativity in her accessories (and appliances). Other stars love the cute, pink characters and want the accessories to show off their own personalities. The Hilton sisters, Mandy Moore, Heidi Klum and even Aerosmith singer Stever Tyler have been seen with an assortment of Hello Kitty products.
The best thing about the trend is that most of the Hello Kitty items that these celebrities are wearing (or using) don't cost very much. So, you can own many of the same products that the celebs own. When was the last time you remember THAT being the case?
