Guaranteed: there is nothing as outrageously adorable as what's going down at the first ever Hello Kitty Con [1] in Los Angeles. The bow-and-whisker explosion brought together Sanrio fanatics from all around the world to celebrate Kitty's 40th anniversary! We recently discovered a few facts [2] that changed the way we saw Hello Kitty forever (she's not actually a cat) — but that doesn't mean we aren't obsessed. In fact, the photos from Hello Kitty Con have only fueled our cartoon-feline infatuation. From toilet paper to (actual) tattoos, we've picked the 27 Kitty-fied things we just can't get over.

Just got my very own custom #HelloKitty made by creator #YuKoYamaguchi!!! ❤️ #HelloKittyCon [3]
