You would not believe the amount of Hello Kitty crap the Minx is going to get in her stocking (or if you’re in possession of a five year old girl maybe you would).
I do have to question the business logic behind this Taiwanese Eva Airways Hello Kitty plane though – is your average business class passenger really in Hello Kitty’s target market?
Please don’t show this post to the Minx, she will be demanding we go on holiday to Taiwan.
Fortunately too big for the Minx’s stocking
You’d think they could do a Hello Kitty butter pat too.
I’m sure Mr Taiwanese Businessman is THRILLED
Actually I do think most of the branding stuff here is rather lame. But the Minx would have exploded with excitement at this point.
My two-year-old son recognizes Hello Kitty but calls her “Hello Cat.” Maybe he feels he doesn’t know her well enough yet for such familiarity.
ARGH! Lily is obsessed with Hello Kitty, can you delete this so I don’t have to go to Taiwan 😉
K, that is too funny. Hello Cat seem so prosaic. The name is a work of branding genius.
Liz, we can send them off there together. Though I have to admit I much prefer HK to the horrific princesses…
This is too much! But then sometimes too much is never enough!
hello kitty is following me… my 3 year old niece made me buy her a kitty ghettoblaster for christmas and now I’m reading this on your blog 🙂 praying she will never be aware of this airline and drive us all nuts 🙂
Hmmm. Beats Easyjet.
A friend of mine who runs a bar in HK (& grown Hong Konger’s will be over the moon with excitement at going on a Hello Kitty plane to Taiwan) once ran a Goodbye Kitty evening.
Punters got a Hello Kitty item, a hammer and a coffin to put the pieces in…….
Cal, you’ve just won ‘comment of the year’.
Oooh, thank you! …of the year – oh my.
(Mind you tis really my friend who should get the credit. I have to admit, still makes me laugh and laugh when I think about it.)
Unbelievable!
OMG. I had no idea the hello kitty fad was so big. I remember hello kitty when I was a kid and fortunately the relaunch happened just after my daughter moved to adolescence so we’ve avoided it mostly. She thinks its cute, but not to obsessive levels! Funny post. Im here from the Carnival, nice to ‘meet’ you!
hiya
omg i woukd love to fly with that airline. just once and i could not promise to not steal something inside the plane. everything looks so cute ^^
greets
Wow, and I thought I was obsessed with Hello Kitty, kudos to whoever got this approved, I mean.. a WHOLE AIRPLANE??
I am 30 and obsessed with Hello Kitty and yes there is a market for Hello Kitty in the adult age range. More of the limited edition and numbered collectibles for the serious collectors which is usually adults. There is wine now of course too. Asia has a different attitude towards cutsie and that is the way of life for Japan.
Hello Kitty is mi nice favorite cartoon in the world.
Great airways I would like to travel with airlines.
thanks for sharing this information. really that airways looking very nice and their service will also be nice.

Gee! That’s cute. I bet my little sister would love to get on that plane.
