in relation to charmmy kitty, japanese author novala takemoto's 'pour lolita' version of hello kitty has become a prevalent icon among wearers. the character is often linked to baby, the stars shine bright, appearing wearing a pink bonnet and carrying a lacy handbag in the white edition, strongly reminiscent of the fashions offered by this brand. there are also punk lolita 'punk edition' versions and gothic lolita 'gothic edition' versions, respectively dressed in tartan or black. the hello kitty 'pour lolita' style is no longer offered, due to takemoto's 2007 arrest.
