It’s never a good day when a celebrity is caught showing off some type of Hello Kitty product and then that photo is sent to me. In the mind of the Hello Kitty fanatic, this somehow legitimizes Hello Kitty. This is my wife’s reasoning — if Anna Paquin is riding around on her Hello Kitty beach cruiser, that must mean that Hello Kitty beach cruisers are cool because even the celebrities want to ride around on them:
That is not exactly the way that I view the entire incident. More likely, Sanrio gave Anna Paquin the Hello Kitty beach cruiser to ride around on so that Hello Kitty and Anna Paquin fanatics will see this and think that Anna Paquin thinks Hello Kitty is cool and therefore that celebrities think Hello Kitty is cool. They will then go out and buy that Hello Kitty beach cruiser and line Sanrio’s pockets.
It’s already started to work as my wife once again thinks it’s time for us to get a matching pair of Hello Kitty beach cruisers (something that we have already been through before and I had thought had long been settled — and of course the Hello Kitty bike tires need to be included as well).
She feels that since a celebrity likes the Hello Kitty beach cruiser, this will somehow convince me it’s now a good idea to buy them. Welcome to the latest addition to Hello Kitty Hell which I’m sure I’ll be hearing about it for the rest of the year…
Sent in by renee who really should be run over by a Hello Kitty beach cruiser with Hello Kitty tires until Hello Kitty is imprinted all over her skin as punishment for ever thinking that sending this to me would produce anything but more heat in Hello Kitty Hell…
I think the bike itself comes with the HK tires, so at least you won’t have to spend extra for those.
Or more likely her car is in for repairs when she found she had to get somewhere else really fast so she was forced to borrow her 6 YO’s transportation.
She’s wearing those sunglasses for a reason. 😉
You’re twisting it all around again. How are Sanrio employees supposed to feed their wives and kids without getting money from the fruit of their work, huh? There’s absolutely nothing evil if they except to be compensated for their hard work.
Plus, when obesity is raging in America, and kids stay at home to play video games, which causes a lot of dammage to their health, celebrities with bikes set an excellent and really needed example.
Does she make enough yet with her hobby to justify a small office space? Might be able to get her to move it all out of the house!
If that bike didn’t have HK on it, I’d probably ride it myself.
Mr. HKHell – I went to my roommate’s graduation yesterday, and saw a mortarboard with HK in rhinestones on it. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but I was too far away. 🙁
Oh Anna, all your X-Men cred? out the window.
I suspect she was forced into riding that thing, hence the attempt to hide behind the sunglasses.
Marlene, you are turning into as big a troll as Darlene. Reel your neck in sweety before i get sarcastic.
Wonder if its possible to nuke Sanrio?
I went to my roommate’s graduation yesterday, and saw a mortarboard with HK in rhinestones on it.
Is that even allowed? My university had strict rules about regalia and I’m pretty sure that anyone who tried that would have been booted out of Convocation pronto.
Alternate theory… She knows no one would ever possibly want it badly enough to steal it. Bike theft prevention!
I love the bike if it wasn’t for the HK decal. As for the tired just think of skidding and that way smooshing HKs face!
I’d scream in terror if I saw someone riding this down my street.
She doesn’t look too happy in the picture, either.
Your wife does understand that you’re a man, right?
It’s cute, though I prefer the Swasovsky Crystal (sp?) Hello Kitty bike. This one is also a bit clunky and big for my taste.
what’s wrong with Hello Kitty’s face being on the bike? and for the record sunglasses are for style, something that all the losers on the site don’t have.
The bike is tame compare to other Hello Kitty items.
I ride a Hello Kitty Beach Cruiser in your direction.
ugh the last time I rode around on a pink bike was when I was 6
Since she is on “True Blood,” that Hello Kitty Bike should have Hello Kitty Vampires on it. Word.
Note that there is a black & pink version of the HK bike also, so you’ll have to get two of each!
kittyluv are you darlene’s sister?
you like HK right? then what are you doing on a blog like this? save yourself some time and press that itsy bitsy X button -_-
You are such a moron sometimes. Stars love Hello Kitty because she makes them happy and they want to show all of their fans how happy she makes them. It proves how popular she is and that everyone does love Hello Kitty. Stars are popular because they understand what their fans like and are the trend setters in the world. It makes sense that all of them love Hello Kitty and want to show off the Hello Kitty toys they have. You not wanting to spend time riding bikes with your wife says a lot about how selfish and mean spirited you really are.
don’t be hard on Kitttyluv she just a kid. And yes kitty you should not be on this or reading this blog. Adults subjects are being discussed. A family friendly board like Sanrio Town is better.
Once upon a time I had an HK bike when I was 6…
Or maybe she just happens to like HK?…
i saw this bikee at uhm yeah and i really wanted it
although the store was close so i couldnt buy it..
my day was ruined . :[
OMG!!! I BADLY WANTED A NORMAL BEACH CRUISER BUT NOW I BADLY BADLY WANT THIS EVEN MORE!!! ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAB!!!
i have that bike 😀
I have a blue beach cruiser bike that I would gladly trade in for this HK one…cute !
Nice bike!
She knows no one would ever possibly want it badly enough to steal it. Bike theft prevention! <– LMAO! ingenious
I have a pink and white pearl Schwinn. I think I’m gonna have to Hello Kittify it now! 😉
