Hello Kitty and Playboy Hmmm

Did not see this mash-up coming.  But I guess marketing is marketing even though it make you feel a little uncomfortable.  Hello Kitty (celebrating it’s 40 anniversary) and Playboy (celebrating it’s 60 anniversary) have teamed up to provide merchandise to their fans in this mash-up of brand names.  The French clothing & accessories retailer Colette created the merchandise and debuted it at Paris’ Crazy Horse caberet.  Yuko Yamaguchi (Hello Kitty designer) and Sarah Andelman (Colette creative director & purchasing manager) where present.  If this is something within your taste then you will want to link back to AnimeNews Network for pictures of the merchandise here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-03-03/hello-kitty-teams-up-with-playboy-for-a-new-kind-of-cute-sexy
