Hello Kitty Goes Platinum!
Once again, Dear Readers, I bring you news that is not game-related but is simply weird enough that it warrants attention. I’ve never been a huge Hello Kitty fan, mainly because I can’t stand being near anything that sweet without getting several cavities. A couple of my friends in grade school had a backpack and/or binders featuring the cartoon feline, though, and they simply loved her.
I guess it’s safe to say that Ms. Kitty isn’t just for kids, since a 21 oz platinum figurine is on sale at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi department store in Japan:
The shiny feminine feline reportedly comes with seven different hair ribbons made of “diamonds, rubies, and other precious gems” that can be worn by Hello Kitty or used as a pendant. This hope diamond of Japanese cuteness can be snatched up (if it hasn’t been already) for a mere ¥18.9 million ($164,291) if you so desire, but we can think of much more practical uses for all that extra disposable income to be quite honest.
Man, if I had over $150K just laying around, I can think of so many other things I’d rather spend it on (adding some big screen TVs to the GayGamer castle being at the top of the list), but hey: to each their own.
