Hello Kitty

My sweetie [livejournal.com profile] jwermont sent this to me. As she said, "This is about a not-funny subject, but the photo is amusing..."

Weird. The masks look like girlie underwear.

I read a SARS article that mentioned some designer being annoyed about people selling masks with the designer logo on them, so I imagine there are a lot of masks being hawked with one thing or another printed on them.

I just bought a tin (just like those little round tins of hard candy drops from France) of Hello Kitty strawberry "Lips Candy" just because it seemed so perverse -- so *that's* why Hello Kitty has no mouth, because her lips have been harvested. Ewwww! They're basically the same as the French candies, but my children refused to touch them.
