Hello Kitty turns 50

I used to see more 50-year-old women contrive themselves to be cutesy in the old days. Are they still around?

Hello Kitty is the icons of icons. Most icons pass. Alas, Twinkies, i.e. Rosie the Riveter . (How famous she was, how quickly she disappeared.) School Valentine's Day parties. Gunsmoke (anyone old enough to remember that one?)

Hello Kitty is still here. Betty Boop is mostly gone. Laurel and Hardy, forgotten.

Hello Kitty is still here. Gotta love it. Hers is a generation's thing. And more generations. Give her her due. Icon of icons.
