Last summer, Portia and I were summoned (courtesy of Resy) to have afternoon tea with Her Majesty Hello Kitty at the Hello Kitty Grand Cafe. We are the Duchess and Princess of San Fernando Valley after all.
Bullocks...we showed up without our white gloves and hat. But prim and proper in Tar-Jay we did. We minded our manners and lived by the royal mantra for one afternoon: never complain and never explain. We forbid it!
After our dip of the head and curtsey with Her Royal Highness, we were ushered to the charming Bow Room where once the red rope was unhooked I couldn't keep my excitement intact.
Propriety calls for restraint but I was delighted indeed. The room was intoxicatingly pink adorned with wall-to-wall plush velvet booths and chairs.
I was in bow heaven and suddenly craving apples.
We were served scones and biscuits, tempting morsels and crustless finger sandwiches laid high on a HK face 3-tiered stand.
The table was decorated with HK themed tableware and dainty cups set with HK shaped sugar cubes.
We placed our napkins on our laps and sipped oh so gently daaarling.
Rubbish! Ninety minutes was up. Hot donuts for another time.
We mustn't overstay our welcome. Have a sweet day, luv. Cheerio!
