Hello Kitty celebrates her 30th birthday today.

I hope she doesn't begin a period of depression where she pines for a mate, and wants to have babies. Darling Daniel better watch out! :)

It's amazing that Hello Kitty accounts for 50% percent of Sanrio's revenue, and seems as strong a brand as ever. I never guessed the Sanrio stores in the US would last as long as they have, and even seem to flourish in these times.
