Hello Kitty Johnny Cupcakes limited edition t-shirt coming in December

This is what you miss if you don't read Cupcakes Take the Cake daily (or add us to your RSS feed). You can also like us on Facebook. And obviously, if you're in Seattle or New York, don't miss our December 7th bicoastal 6-year anniversary parties!

I am a major Hello Kitty and Sanrio fan, and right now they are doing a popup tour (I saw a very cute limited edition Hello Kitty iPhone case at CupcakeCamp LA!). I’m getting to the cupcake connection, I promise…

Johnny Cupcakes, who is in the process of opening up his London (UK) store in 2011, will be launching a limited edition Hello Kitty t-shirt next month, an item that is shooting straight to the top of my holiday wishlist! How fun. Stay tuned to johnnycupcakes.com and his blog (scroll down for photos from Sanrio's 50th anniversary), as well as Twitter and Facebook (where over 70,000 people are fans!), for ordering information. via Nitrolicious

Back from Boston

Me with Johnny Cupcakes, who has the coolest house ever (I will explain why later)

I have plenty I want to say, about the 90+ (I think) people who packed In The Flesh on Thursday, prompting a complaint email about how it's too crowded at Happy Ending, then the fear every author has - you do a reading and no one shows up! (Okay, three people did.) I am pondering all of this, the "problem" of overcrowding and how to properly promote a reading, but it'll all have to wait.

Boston was busy and beautiful and fun and fabulous. I'm glad I escaped before Patriots Day, which I had no clue was a real holiday there. My stepfather is running the marathon (I think it's his 42nd marathon!). So Boston report soon, for those who weren't following the play by play.
