Someone knock me up right NOW!
Ok, well maybe not right now, but if I ever do get pregnant I may have to go to term in Taiwan:
"YUANLIN, Taiwan – Japan's iconic Hello Kitty has been recruited to help calm anxious mothers at a maternity hospital in Taiwan where the cartoon image adorns everything from walls to newborns' blankets .
Hau Sheng Hospital, located 95 miles (150 kilometers) south of Taipei, is the latest destination for the cute cat with a penchant for pink.
A giant Hello Kitty figure dressed in a pink doctor uniform greets visitors in the lobby, while colorful murals of the feline are found in recovery rooms, the nursery and on elevator doors.
Owner Tsai Tsung-ji approached Sanrio Co., the maker of Hello Kitty, about decorating his hospital with a Hello Kitty theme at the suggestion of his mother, wife and daughter — all of whom are huge fans. Tsai said the hospital has delivered about 2,000 babies since it underwent its Hello Kitty makeover in 2006."

Wu-hoo!
Michelle Obama has now made Jason Wu famous by wearing his dress to the inaguration ball. But before he was designing ball gowns for the first lady he was designing dolls! What does this have to do with Japan? Glad you asked. You see Mr. Wu works for Integrity Toys which produces a line of dolls JUST for Jappan called FP Nippon.
Here are some Harujuku dolls from the line- tres kawaii!
