SANRIO -

[Ariel]

I like Charmmy Kitty more than Hello Kitty. However I have lots of Hello Kitty socks from H&M and a pair of Hello Kitty sandal things

chococat is my favourite Sanrio animal. I don't have any chococat stuff though. I have some hello kitty pyjamas (both long pants and spaghetti strap top/shorts combo) and a t-shirt however! It's way easier to find hello kitty stuff than it is to find chococat stuff.

Charmy is super adorable too though!

Oh man, Cinnamoroll.

Bought this Tuxedo Sam plush last time I visited the Mall of America. Kuromi is awesome too but they didn't have any Kuromi merchandise in the Sanrio store anymore.

Also, they made this movie and it's kind of awesome.

My brother and I each have a Badtz Maru plushie. They were both used in a (really bad) presentation for my brother's English class about The Lovely Bones.

Also, they made this movie and it's kind of awesome.

Sanrio did quite a lot of awesome films people never even seen much, here's my fave!

Here's one guy's account of having worked for them in the late 70's when they tried to publish a girls' manga-type publication here.
