Editor's note: Have you ever wondered just how a giant-headed girl/cat became a pop culture icon? We would argue that in addition to Hello Kitty's clean lines and outright adorableness, her lack of a mouth and her barely-there features give her the same quality that made the Gerber baby a commercial success: that very lack of expression allows us to project our feelings onto her, just as every mother is able to project her baby's face onto the blank-but-cute face of the Gerber baby. Brilliant. And it also makes for a nice wallpaper. Bring some ultra-cuteness to your screens today with Hello Kitty in all her winter glory.
