Hello Kitty is incredibly cute and turning 40 this year.
To celebrate so many years of cuteness, the parent company of everything cute, Sanrio, has revealed that it is hosting a Hello Kitty Con 2014 at The Geffen Contemporary, the adjunct exhibit space associated with the Museum of Contemporary Art.
The four-day event starts on Oct. 30 and ends on Nov. 2. The Geffen will be packed with all sorts of Hello Kitty items, including Hello Kitty fashion, which will be on display at "Lovely Kitty Wonder: A Hello Kitty Fashion Installation" curated by Stephiee Nguyen of JapanLA Clothing.
