One of the problems with being a loveable icon of cuteness is it's hard to bust out of that mold and be taken seriously as a model. This has been the dilemma of Hello Kitty, and even posing for some racier pics and developing a vibrator with her likeness haven't helped her avoid typecasting. But that's all about to change, thanks to a designer who was willing to take a chance on her.
I swear I am not making this up: Hello Kitty will be modeling all the John Galliano (for Dior, yo) fall and winter designs in the Japanese Vogue. She will be pictured "posing with the designer and enjoying a shopping spree in Paris" as well. True life. Now, when Hello Kitty comes into your boutique, don't you pretty much give her all the stuff she wants for free?
Thankfully the cameras didn't follow her into the bathroom, because Kitty goes through so much blow you wouldn't believe it. I hear she gets most of it from her boyfriend, the lead singer for that band. You know, the one with that song? Anyhow, we wish Ms. Kitty best of luck on her career, and hope now she'll get the serious recognition she deserves.
