Sanrio (Hello Kitty) 50th Anniversary VIP Party

This photo says it all. A 50 year old character named Hello Kitty from the creative people at Sanrio can still make anyone smile. Sanrio is celebrating a golden anniversary, which opens to the public starting on Nov. 12th thru Nov. 21st 2010. During the next 10 days of this celebration there will be 30 of LA's hottest gourmet food trucks displayed in the mobile food court. See the Sanrio website for more information.


We enjoyed the VIP Pre party on Nov. 11, which included many celebrities such as Kimora Lee Simmons Hounsou, Jackie Chan, and Erik Estrada to name a few. We enjoyed the way Sanrio converted the Santa Monica based Barker Hangar into a carnival setting that any kid or young at heart adult would love. It reminded me of a sophisticated carnival with an animated touch that only Sanrio's creative minds could think up. Enjoy the Video recap and Food Truck Interviews below.
