We can’t seem to shake her off. Hello Kitty is pretty much taking over the world with her iconic ribbon and the hotly debated lack of mouth (we still can’t figure that out, really). This famous feline, or, oddly enough, British girl, has made her appearance practically everywhere, and sending people into fits of temporary hysteria. Clearly, we see how irrationality triumphs over the mind when it comes to Hello Kitty.
Throwback to the notoriously long queues and unnecessary fights that occurred just for a plush toy (because, you know, Singaporeans are willing to wait a few hours for a toy but not ten minutes for a train). Still, while we continue to scoff at this insanity, we have to admit to something — that this kitty has an undeniable place in our collective hearts, relentlessly claiming her stake with adorably curated products and designs. From toys, stationery, home appliances, food chains, and even clothes, seriously, what hasn’t she done?
For a start, we are once again reminded of how this Kitty continues to control our lives, especially with the arrival of Singapore’s own Hello Kitty Café.
Yes, we’re talking about more long queues for this iconic café, Hello Kitty Orchid Garden, that emulates Singapore’s ‘garden city’ vibe. Adorably-designed Hello Kitty food infused with local flavours? We think the queue is probably warranted. The hours-long wait to get a seat in the adorable café merely shows us how the kitty craze has never, and will never stop.
Hello Kitty Orchid Garden Cafe, Arrival Hall Central #01-22, Terminal 3, Singapore Changi Airport, open 24hrs daily.
Then, there are other ways the never-dying Hello Kitty craze continues, relentlessly.But who’s complaining right?
Hello Kitty by OPI
OPI joined in on the Hello Kitty craze just last year with twelve shades that weren’t all just pink (thankfully). These OPI bottles have adorable Hello Kitty prints on their caps and these prints alone were enough to send the world into a complete frenzy. This frenzy then escalated even further when they surprised everybody with a new collection, Hello Kitty by OPI Cherry Blossom, to usher the Spring season. These four classic colours are actually really versatile, and basically everybody was clamouring to get their hands on them.
