For the girl who has everything - a 20 pound, platinum Hello Kitty?
You can't go wrong with Hello Kitty, right? Their adorable accessories and gadgets may look like kid stuff at first glance but they're catching on with a much older, trendier market (and it's no coincidence - that Hello Kitty USB Flash Drive wasn't intended for 5-year-old girls). And now, after seeingHello Kitty by Victoria Couture at L.A.'s Fashion Week earlier this year, I've suddenly got real respect for Hello Kitty as much more than a novelty act. But as much as I love Hello Kitty, this item may be a bit over the top. It's a platinum Hello Kitty, and it weighs over 20 pounds. The good news is, it's one-of-a-kind. And if you're going to spend $150,000 on something like this, you want to be sure the person doesn't have one already.
The platinum figurine went up for sale at the flagship store at Mitsukoshi's flagship department store on Tuesday, and as far as I know is still available.

I just came back from living in Japan for the past 2 years. I knew people who had the whole bathrooms in HK. There was even a HK car there. And yes you don't say Hello Kitty, it's HK for the true lovers :)
