Add White Stephanie and Irene for a good time!
A few of the designers/models who will be featured in the upcoming Hello Kitty fashion show on November 14 were asked to preview their designs at the party to give people a sneak peek of what’s to come. Lovely Lauren is wearing my dress. It’s not done yet, so be sure to come to the show on November 14! :-)
Lauren, me, Stephanie and Jeanie
I got to meet incredibly sweet Sharon Toxic!
Yume and Michelle in their handmade outfits. Soooo awesome!
We got there the same time as Paris Hilton, so I managed to snap a few photos.
Look! I got two celebs in one! On the left is “Kitty Mama” Yuko Yamaguchi, head designer of Sanrio.
Paris being swarmed by paparazzi inside. Photo taken by The Hundreds!
Haha, Michelle was brave and got her picture taken with Paris Hilton. I stole this from her blog Bubblepunch!

Lauren, me and the lovely Irene! I stole this picture from the internet somewhere and don’t have a credit for it. If this is yours, please let me know and I will credit you! :-)
Ran into super awesome Tarina Tarantino!

Kimora Lee Simmons inspects Tarina’s hair. I stole this picture from Jeanie and Steph’s blog.
Check it out! Michelle made these limited edition headbands for Sanrio, and Kimora snatched some up for herself and her kids! Isn’t this cute?

Superstar Michelle!
The lovely and graceful Cicely Margo! I’ve been a huge fan of hers for a while now and own a bunch of her necklaces. She drove all the way out here from Reno! I have family in Reno that I visit often, so I’m going to have to start hassling Cicely to hang out with me when I’m in town. ;-)

Supercute Tess!!!
Even the bathroom had Hello Kitty toilet paper!!! I um, borrowed a few rolls. I decided to show them off to Tess, who gave me a disgusted look of disapproval. Turns out at first glance she didn’t see the Hello Kitty print, so she thought I just go to random VIP parties and steal toilet paper from the bathrooms. Haha, thanks a lot, Tess!
Bree modeling for Toxic Vision!
Danielle, Daria and Jessica
Sinh and Irene
Sharon, Bree, Sinh, me, Jessica, Danielle, Daria, Lauren
This is what Sharon made for the fashion show on the 14th. Isn’t it amazing?!
Back!
Aww me and Kevin
The amazingly talented Travis Louie! I love his art and have been to his shows, but we’d never officially met. For some reason I thought we had met before because kevin knew him, so I ran up to him and gave him a big hug. Then it struck me that we didn’t know each other. He must have thought I was such a weirdo, but he was so polite and sweet!
Jessica, me, Sharon, Danielle
White Stephanie & Danielle
We met Hello Kitty! haha
Sinh showing off her new Hello Kitty wine glass charms
Onch and his friend
Irene, Sharon, White Stephanie and Bree outside the Hello Kitty airstream
Inside the airstream was a dinner table setting. I poked the food, and it felt real. I told Stephanie to test it out by eating it. It was real!
Bree, Sharon, gorgeous Candace (Hey lady, if you read this, give me your contact info! I want to send you stuff), Lauren and White Stephanie

Tera Patrick. I didn’t even recognize her! She looks super different in real life than she does in um, porn.

Yume’s incredibly hand-blinged shoes have inspired me to step up my game and bedazzle everything I own!

Blurry pic but it’s the only one I have of the back of the dress!
Late night eats at Swingers
That’s the kids’ table in the back ;-)
Actual conversation between me and Twinkie last nite:
Shrinkle: i’m going to tell everyone this is what you really look like in person and that you usually photoshop your crossed eyes out
Twinkie: then people will yell at you for making fun of my disability
Shrinkle: then i’ll phrase it like “Dont you think Twinkie Chan looks sooo adorable when she doesn’t photoshop her eyeballs? I really wish she realized how cute she looks naturally”
Lauren and Sinh the morning after. Zzzzzzzz!!
XOXO
Amy
YAY
Can’t wait to see you in 3 weeks!
is that the HK mascot costume you designed?
No, mine will be shown on November 14. I haven’t even started yet, AHHHHH!! :-}
you know that onch & i used to work in same office? lol. he was at my 26th birthday party, also.
WHAT??!! omg that is the best story.
waaaa I love the pictures!!!!! didn’t have time to read everything yet! but I’d LOVE to be there!! it’s Amazing! Love your HK dress!!
Thank you!!
I am sooo jealous, that would’ve made my LIFE!!!
Yeah it pretty much made MY life too! :-D
Man, you’re SO lucky for going to the VIP party! I’m SO excited to see yours and Sharon’s dresses on the 14th! I’ve been a fan of both of you since you both used EBAY! hahah :)
Thank you!! See you at the fashion show! :-)
This is going to be weird but I was lying in bed last night thinking “I wonder if Shrinkle has ever considered making WEDDING dresses??” That’d be so rad… :D
th3_unicorn from LJ
Ha! I am scared of wedding dresses, I wouldn’t want to risk ruining one of the happiest days of a girl’s life! :-}
Man I’m just so sad I couldn’t go to this! Everyone I am a fan of was there! Well almost haha. But most of everyone that went I would have loved to see in person. And everyone was dressed so awesomely! So much pretty and pink and I always love seeing Lauren. Shes such a pretty doll! And Irenes hair is always awesome. And Jessica is SO pretty. Seriously. This whole post was superamazingawesomecute eye candy. I just keep looking at it again and again! Also the dress you’re wearing is one of my faves :) I’m done ass kissing now haha!
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed the pics! :-)
omg!!! These pictures are incredible! Makes me want to get dolled up and have a fantastic night.
And I LOVE the dress you made!! So so so cute!! I love where the large print of Hello Kitty’s face is. And the shoes Lauren was wearing, I would totally steal them xD
I’m glad you had a fantastic time! [I'm jealous I couldn't go, nor did I know there was such an event] You look gorgeous as always!!
Thank you sooo much!
So many cool looking people. Bet the party was fun. lol to the ‘kiddy table’. ^_^
Yeah it was what my friend called “the mother of all parties” for sure! :-)
All the colors are so lovely! I sooo need a big red Hello Kitty bow >__<
My friend Michelle made the bows, aren’t they adorable?! If you want one, her website is http://www.iamchubbybunny.com :-)
:D This blog made me happy (and jealous)! So many pictures & goodies!
But specifically, I wanted to say that last picture looks so awesome… like it came out of a movie-scene or something. (:
Thanks! Glad you liked the pics!
So jealous I wasn’t there! I’m going Saturday can’t wait.
Lucky! I wish I could have just stayed in LA for three weeks to hit up every single event they are doing, haha.
OMG, you DID see Paris! And Tera Patrick ?!?!? HAWT. I’m going on Nov. 14th! I’m so stoked for the “Hello Kitty Goth Party”! And I can’t wait to see Sharon Toxic! I’ve loved her and her crazy tight pants for years!
Hi! I’m responding to this comment hella late. But yes! I did see Paris! It’s weird because in photos she always looks so sharp and angular and harsh, but in real life she’s really soft and pretty. I was surprised by how cute she is! I only saw Tera Patrick for a brief moment at the end. She’s super pretty but I didn’t recognize her at first! I love random celebrity sightings, haha. I want to work for US Weekly and do that “Stars: They’re just like us!” column. :-D
HOLY CROWDED PARTIES BATMAN!
I knew I’ve should have gone, even though I’m not a party person, but I did not have anything cool to wear (I mean serious, look at all these people!!!) >.<
I'll be at the Friday the 13th Party though! Will you guys be there?
Yes!! We are most definitely going to the Hello Kitty goth party on Friday. Are you also going to the fashion show the following night? Sounds like it’s gonna be a fun-filled weekend of craziness! :-)
oh man! I’m bitterly jealous now, like I told you I would be! But everyone looks freaking gorgeous, cute, pretty, hot, and more. I need friends like you girls.
I want that headband that’s really adorable! I can’t wait to see the finish product of your HK dress. I just checked out Sharon’s etsy page but oh man… her stuff is what I dream of wearing but I wouldn’t fit. I must go to this fashion show now! Hmm… I wonder who would go.
Oh and someone’s comment about you designing wedding dresses sounds cool.
Dude, I LOVE Sharon’s stuff! I would never get away with wearing any of it though. I always look so dumpy in pants! She has such a killer body and can get away with anything!
Yay so we finally get to meet this weekend! Are you going to the goth nite on the 13th, the fashion show on the 14th, or both? For some reason there is a flyer for the goth nite but we haven’t gotten flyers for the fashion show to post yet… scary! It’s in 4 days! :-}
omg! I wanted to go and I was going to drag my bf because I know he’ll drive and he’s whatever but he’s so busy with moving! I’m so sad to miss out!So have tons and tons of pictures that way I can be at least somewhat satisfied!
There’ll probably be other chances where we will meet!
this post is amazing. i can’t wait for the fashion show!!
Are you coming?!?!?!? I’d be fun to finally meet!
The dress you designed is so beautiful and awesome! I’m glad you managed to sneak in a picture of the back.
Also, was Kevin basically the only guy there? Heh. Lucky man, swimming in a sea of the cutest girls you’ve ever seen all night.
Thanks Tay!! And yes, Kevin is pretty much always the only guy anywhere we go. I feel sorry for him having to listen to girl talk all day long. Periods! Nasty sex stories! And the occasional complaint about guys, haha.
Omg, this looks like so much fun! I want to go to one of these Hello Kitty events, how do you find about about them? Website…?
Hello! They have more info on their website at http://www.sanrio.com/threeapples for all the events. Sorry I responded so late, this is pretty much the last week of the 3-week event. Where do you live? You should come to the parties this weekend! :-) Hello Kitty goth party on Friday the 13th, then fashion show on the 14th!
waaaaaaah~ everyone’s outfits are so amazing!! definitely the party of the century ♥
It was the most fun I’ve had in a really long time! :-)
You forgot that it’s now STINKIE and STINKLE.
Whatever, Uber Chan!
jealous of everything. *pout*
Awww! Come out to the parties this weekend! They are the last ones before the Hello Kitty event leaves. :-(
Omg Amy I was so star struck when I saw you and said hi! I was such a nervous dork! You and your friends are unbelievably gorgeous!
Whatever, dude! You are so elegant and composed, I felt like a huge dork standing next to you. I was excited to finally meet the girl who makes all the cool shit I’ve been drooling over. Hey so give me your number this weekend so I can harass you next time I’m in Sparks!
absolutely! I will see you at lé fashion show! I can’t wait!
It looked like SO much fun, I was sad not to have been able to go this weekend BUT I am very much looking forward to the 13th and hope I can snag a ride there & back because it looks like it’s going to be awesome.
YAY! So you’re coming for sure? It’s gonna be so fun!
Yup, I’m definitely coming! Tawny from Kitten Teeth and I are going together ~ we’re going to try and get there early, too.
OK that’s it. I’m going to try and go to the fashion show.
What do you mean try? You ARE coming! ;-) I haven’t seen you in ages, lady!
Lovely colorful photos!! Wish I was there~
Glad you enjoyed them! :-)
OMG I WANT YOUR LIFE!! HAHAHA
I have so much to say…. bear with me….
1. How the eff did you get invited to this thing?! You’re super lucky.
2. Who did Lauren’s hair? I fucking love it!
3. Natalia Fabia looks similar to Paris Hilton in the 1st pic of her….sorry natalia.
4. Paris Hilton is severely under dressed compared to you guys!!
5. once again, I’m superrrrr jelly you got to go to this party. Your life is rocking girl.
I’m going to force you to hang out with me next time you’re in Reno, lol. P.S. Bring the Hello Kitty toilet paper.
But seriously you have to tell me so I can get a photo with you!
awesome! looks like it was a who’s who of fun!
lmao i love the photo where danielle hella stood in FRONT of hello kitty to snap a photo!
fun times man!!! CANT WAIT TO GOTH IT UP!
OMG how embarrassing, i didn’t mean to block it so much ahhaha
I must agree with others when I say I am so super jealous.
I must also say that I absotively posolutely love the dress you’re wearing, as well as the one you made. I didn’t even notice that Hello Kitty’s face was on it until I saw the modeling picture. It’s most likely one of the cutest dresses I’ve ever seen!
I am so overwhelmed by the amount of color, incredible outfits, crazy make-up and beautiful people in this post!
haha, you took some derp-y pictures of me x]
it’s always nice to see you in person! sorry i dont really say anything, im kinda shy ~__~
so many hot babes and hot fashion! i totally have girlcrushes on lumi and sinh
I was gonna say…Lauren’s dress is rockin’! I had a feeling there was something special about it…:D:D
And I’m so jelz you guys got to see/meet Gerard. It looks like the biggest party you’ve ever picspammed and this HAS to be the best picture post of ‘09! It’s full of enough cuteness to take you from Jan-Dec 2009.
Did you get to meet Gerard Way?
P.S. Awesome pics as per us & I love your new dress!!!
OMGEESUS! that’s a lot of pics!
I want some Sugarpill samples, btdubs.
Hello Shrinkle
Gorgeous photos as usual! You and your friends are so “bright” it’s inspiring me to add more colour to more wardrobe : ) Speaking of colour, I was wondering what brand of hair colour you use? It always looks so lush! Maybe it’s just my hair but the Manic Panic I used washed out in one go : (
awww man I was/am so jealous you got to go there. I have to admit I’m not a big Hello Kitty-fan, although I do wear their undies and have fleece loungepants lol, but all these great people and outfits and everything. I SO wish I could’ve gone. Also on the 14th. And no, there’s not only one pic with Sharon Toxic <3 but a dozen of them and you're all looking amazing. I'm so jealous. sigh.
PS: And I love how we all seem to have sort of the same height. <3
Lauren is amazingly beautiful. Seriously I want to be her. The dress is fabulous. Thats the only word for it. Perfect mix of Shrinkle and Hello Kitty. And kudos to her for walking in those giant shoes too!!
I was just thinking the same thing! Lauren is soooo beautiful it’s almost overwhelming.
twinkiechan is right, we will make fun of you for making fun of her disability. us crossed eyed people need to stick together.
I don’t know if anyone already told you, since I’m lazy and didn’t read all the comments, but the “cute girl” in the German officer cap is named Kristen! I actually met her that same weekend when we went to the Lip Service sample sale. LOL!! Isn’t she frickin’ adorable?!
I am so jealous. That looks like Hello Kitty bliss. I absolutely love the dress you designed too.
Yeah OK.. a post filled with Hello Kitty, all my favorite internet people, my favorite pseudo-celebs, a restaurant with Andy Warhol wallpaper, and enough bright colors and crazy fashion to make a girl delirious. You’re awesome, Amy. Thanks for taking the time to edit those pictures. :)
So amazing =]
I agree about the eyeballs! I have a lazy eye and I rock it, maybe cause I don’t have photoshop haha
<3
Wow!! This looks like the funnest party ever! Your outfits are good enough to eat and I’m so psyched that this Mother Of All Photo Posts is centered around what’s been my obsession for almost 30 years: Hello Kitty. (I need that hot air balloon!)
You’re all so colorful people. You really spice up my day. ^_^
I don’t know what I love the most about these pictures… the fashion show, your shoes, Lauren’s shoes, the dress you’re designing, you man’s cool hair do, all of your friend’s…. yeah I have no life
I luved this so much!!! I met u at smoke tiki a long time ago in SJ I used to work there…where was the party at???? I hope ur doing well…Renee;)
ack! i was so sad to be out of town.. these are all absolutely delicious and i’m going to have to start stocking my closet with your bubblegumball land. <3
