Thanks to Linda for the heads-up!
Folks, toasters and coffee makers aren’t the half of it.
Even the venerable retailer, Neiman-Marcus, has hopped on the Hello Kitty bandwagon, and being N-M, they’ve done it with style and verve.
Not as much sense as God gave a kitten, mind, but still….style and verve. Check out this Hello Kitty action:
Yes, it’s a pavé diamond watch, which can be yours for $3,550 (plus tax, depending upon where you live, and appropriate shipping and handling, no doubt).
For those who are traditionalists and are thinking “But Hello Kitty stuff is supposed to be pink! That’s not pink!”, N-M has you covered:
There! See the perky pink strap? What more could a Hello Kitty aficianado want for $1,995?
Perhaps you’re thinking that’s still fairly pricey and you’ve got enough watches as it is. Has N-M missed the boat?
Certainly not. Why, being born in June, N-M saw me coming a mile away, commissioning a Gemini pendant featuring twin Hello Kitties:
It could be mine for a mere $980!
Actually, if Don were to lose his mind and spend that kind of money on my Christmas gift, I’d better get a laptop or sparkling pair of diamond earrings, not a Hello Kitty pendant. Still, the palm has to go to whoever thought this was a good idea:
$4,250. And it doesn’t even tell time.
