Thursday night we attended the grand opening of the Three Apples exhibit at Royal/T in Culver City. Royal/T is generally a maid cafe with a shop and an art exhibit. They tend to change out their space often with different themes. The Three Apples exhibit celebrates all things Hello Kitty.

The Three Apples exhibit is free to the public and runs from October 23 through November 15. There are many parts to the exhibit. At the entrance is the apartment completely designed in Hello Kitty merchandise. Followed by the store which houses some of the cutest Hello Kitty merchandise I’ve ever seen. At the grand opening, TokiDoki showcased their latest Hello Kitty/Tokidoki goods. I loved their vinyl Hello Kitty. The grand opening also included guests like Paris Hilton, Dave Navarro, Tarina Tarantino, and Kimora Simmons recording for her reality show.

After a wall of plush Hello Kittys, there is a large art exhibit with some of the most amazing interpretations of our favorite kitty. Along another wall is a showcase of items only found in Japan and a historical look at Hello Kitty items. Between the areas were women dressed in Hello Kitty clothing, dancing and posing for pictures.

The exhibit is rather large and definitely will take some time to go through. The art is amazing and inspired. It’s great to see what affect Hello Kitty has had on people of all ages throughout the years. We had a great time and thank Sanrio and Royal/T for hosting such a great event! I’ll be going back on Saturday to get a better look (it was very crowded) and to see what I want to purchase. Below I have all the pictures we took from the event. I even got a picture with Hello Kitty herself! That’s going on my facebook!

Saturday is full of planned events and Hello Kitty will be there to take pictures with all day:
