A few weeks ago, I updated about a fun promotional video that I shot with Sephora and Hello Kitty! Well, the video is finally live and online!
Myself and my friends posed as Hello Kitty “fans” in the video, greeting her on the “pink” carpet, and pawing through her hotel boudoir as Hello Kitty “superfans!” The shoot was really fun and the video is so cute! I make a verry brief appearance in the video.. see if you can find me! haha.
The dress worn by Hello Kitty was hand made by myself, as well as all of the pink Hello Kitty x Chubby Bunny Bows worn by all of the girls in the video! As always, they can be purchased at www.iamchubbybunny.com !
Enough chatter! Check out the cute video below!
I also did some screen caps of all the cute moments from the video! You can see all of them in the Flickr set here
Thanks to Sephora and Sanrio for letting us be part o the fun Hello Kitty action!
A ton of readers have been asking me about the lingerie line for Hanky Panky x Hello Kitty ever since I posted photos of their lookbook that featured the Chubby Bunny bow on their models! Just last weekend, Hanky Panky celebrated the launch of the line with a fun and fancy Hello Kitty party in SoHo!
Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but Hanky Panky posted up the photos on their Facebook, so I’m sharing them here Also, if you want to purchase anything from Hanky Panky’s new line, you can check out their website store, which JUST added the Hello Kitty items!
The launch celebrated not only Hanky Panky’s new lingerie, but also the Humane Society, which will receive a portion of the sales of these products. Sephora also chipped in at this event, providing giveaways and promotion.
The event was also featured in the Wall Street Journal today! How awesome!

It’s been an exciting Hello Kitty-filled weekend! In addition to it being my birthday (more on that later!) the debut of my latest Hello Kitty creation occurred in New York on May 4th, for Hello Kitty’s Big Pink Bow collection launch event with Sephora!
For the event, I collaborated with Sanrio to make an adorable polka dot dress with hot pink accents, and a pop of gold jewelry for Ms. Kitty as well as provide a few hundred pink Hello Kitty x Chubby Bunny headband bows for Sephora models to wear while promoting the launch! Megan Hilty (of NBC’s SMASH) even joined in the fun at the event.
Girls wearing the Hello Kitty x Chubby Bunny bow and riding Hello Kitty bicycles cruised around New York City, promoting the Big Pink Bow event at Sephora! How cute are they?

On Tuesday, May 8th, Hello Kitty traveled back to Los Angeles to do a promotional video for Sephora’s Big Pink Bow collection, and I was invited, along with my awesome adorable friends, to join in the shoot on Melrose Place <3
Here are some behind the scenes photos from the video shoot! The finished video will make it’s debut at the end of May and be featured on Sephora.com and Sanrio.com! I’ll post up links to it as soon as it’s available!

The middle Hello Kitty ring was newly released by Sephora for the Big Pink Bow collection, and opens up to reveal cream perfume scent! It smells really fruity and cute, with hints of pineapple, flowers, & coconut!
I’ve been working super hard these past couple of weeks on 3 projects at once!
After this week I’ll be able to do a full reveal on everything, but for now… some sneak peeks <3
I’m doing another Hello Kitty mascot costume for an upcoming launch somewhere special this month….. It’s the first time I’ve made jewelry for Ms. Kitty, too!
Purr-ly and pretty for Ms. Kitty, hehe.
I am also very excited about the My Little Pony Project, which I will be helping out with a little bit, and am working on an epic Princess Celestia outfit to wear to the opening event! I hope to see all of you guys there <3
Princess Celestia character that I'm taking inspiration from for my outfit!
Pretty and soft materials I'm prepping for my outfit!
And of course, at the end of this week, my BIRTHDAY will be arriving! I will be turning the big 30, so I’m doing a “Great Gatsby”-themed birthday party, to celebrate the end of my “roaring 20s”, so to speak! I even made a stupid little image for it, haha.
I was able to finish up this EPIC dress to wear for my birthday last week! Just have to work on the accessories now!
Can’t wait to share final photos of all of my projects with everyone! I just had to post a few progress photos because I am SUPER excited for this week and these projects!!!

CRACKED CANDY APPLE
The most lux Hello Kitty Bow yet! The luscious deep red of this shiny vinyl has a layer of cracked foil in between the layers of fabric, resulting in a “cracked” candy apple finish! A perfect accessory for any true Hello Kitty fan! It’s like Hello Kitty got some apples and made them into a bow!
GUNMETAL GREY This metallic silver is iridescent, changing from a dark metallic grey to black as you move it around in the light. A great option for our Hello Kitty fans that like to wear darker colors, this bow is perfect with any outfit!

On December 10th, Chubby Bunny was excited to participate in the Hello Kitty Noir launch party, hosted by Sephora!
We’re always so happy to collaborate with our friends at both Sanrio and Sephora, and this time was no exception! This time, to celebrate the launch of the new Hello Kitty Noir beauty collection at Sephora, they hosted a swank, swingin’ 20′s style party at Maison 140 boutique hotel in Beverly Hills. This private event was open to Hello Kitty collectors and friends for an intimate gathering to view the Hello Kitty suite inside the hotel!
Chubby Bunny was commissioned to make fun and fancy striped bows to show off Sephora’s signature pattern, as well as embody the Hello Kitty-shaped bow that we’ve become famous for creating!
Take a look at the new design!
Big thanks to Yume for taking photos that night, and also Hello Kitty Junkies for their great photos from the night, too!
The bows were given to guests as they entered the hotel by these super cute retro cigarette girls!
I was able to hop over to the event in some vintage wear! I really love this dress! Me looking like a doofus posing in the Hello Kitty suite.
There were fans lined up all the way up the stairs and throughout the shopping complex of Hollywood & Highland waiting for entry into the big event! At 7pm, a steady stream of Hello Kitty fans were let into the store to shop to their heart’s content! The party featured the new items from the Hello Kitty x Forever 21 collaboration, free nail salon, Hello Kitty herself, and live models courtesy of the Jenner twins. There was even a nice relaxing VIP room for friends of Sanrio, too
Fun group shot of myself, my cute Lolita friends, the Jenner twins behind us, and Hello Kitty herself!
Yay Hello Kitty and me! I'm wearing the polka dot bow that I had made for the rest of the F21 staff also <3
Hooray!We are so excited to be able to finally announce all of the fun projects that we have in store for our fans who like Chubby Bunny, Hello Kitty, and Forever 21!
One of the cutest images of Hello Kitty from the new line is this super MOD looking outfit she wears here:
Using that, I created a super mod version of the Hello Kitty mascot costume! Additionally, Chubby Bunny created a series of custom headband bows for Forever 21 employees to wear during the big launch event!
The first launch for this line was held in Tokyo, at the Shibuya Forever 21 flagship store. (But not to fear my friends! They are also hosting a super sweet launch party here in Los Angeles next week! Details at the bottom of this post)
I sent my friends at Tokyofashion.com over to the Tokyo launch party in my stead (since I’m busy here in LA making lots of cute stuff for my fashion show next week!) Here are some of the pics they snapped of the Hello Kitty mascot outfit I created, the fans, and the adorable fashion!
