Just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

My favourite sweetheart, Hello Kitty has just busted Barbie's ass by coming out with her own limited edition of the William and Kate Royal wedding. It contains a doll set of her and her beau, Dear Daniel all kitted out in the Royal gear.

This is only fitting of course as, for those of you who didn't know, Kitty was actually born in England as Katherine White. Kitty is just her nickname. 


Here are 10 things you should know about Hello Kitty:


1. She has a boyfriend named Dear Daniel

2. They apparently live together, but have separate bedrooms. They are not married yet.

3. She was born in England.

6. Her boyfriend Dear Daniel is a businessman in New York and is a breakdancer with spiky hair who sometimes models with Kitty.

7. She has a twin sister named MIMMY they have bows on different sides.

8. Her birthday is on 1 November

9. She is exactly 5 apples tall and weighs as much!!

10. Her full name is Catherine "Kitty" White and she loves to travel

Stay fabulous Kitty!

When the Royals go plastic fantastic!

Oh Barbie..you never cease to amaze and intrigue me after all these years. In an earlier post (Oki Doki Tokidoki), Barbie's creators Mattel and the kitschy brand Tokidoki teamed up to create the ultimate adults' collectors item of the trendy new wannabe reality celeb Barbie along with trendy fashion and tramp stamps.
Mattel has truly outdone themselves by creating their latest triumph: The Prince William and Kate Middleton Barbie and Ken! I could not even have dreamed up something so ridiculous but here it is!

"Come on Barbie let's go party!"

The Prince and his plastic bride are both adorned in their wedding attire, along with a miniature version of the Alexander McQueen gown Kate wore on the day. The creators of Mattel said it would only be released for purchase in April to celebrate the Royal Pair's wedding 1st anniversary. Ken doll William is even graced with a full head of shiny hard hair!
Their wedding attracted over 3 million viewers on t.v. It was long anticipated since Princess Diana's wedding day. People closely watched this young couple since their dating days and their break-up when Wills cheated on Kate with a Brazilian model. 

You can pre-order your royal couple on the Barbie website, but as they are aimed at adults they come at a steep price of  £100 (British Pounds). Either way, die-hards will be saving up to get another souvenir to immortalize this fantasy bride and groom along with their limited edition DVD and other bric-a-brac that commemorated the wedding.

William and Kate "tea bagging"! Hmmm....perhaps Gran does deserve a bit of an upgrade for a Christmas pressie this year.

Of course, there are cheaper versions if you still want to want to play out the wedding with your dolls. I personally think this British made doll set resembles the couple more closely than their Barbie counterparts: 

The Americans make them look so much better!

Of course, you could go down the even cheaper route and just do this.....

The bride and groom felt literally FLAT-tered by all the attention!
