For my project, I have decided to commemorate Hello Kitty.

For more than 35 years, Hello Kitty has served as the icon for kawaii, the Japanese pop-culture of (literally translated) "cuteness" or "adorableness." After being introduce to the United States in 1976, Hello Kitty has brought in over 1 billion dollars for Sanrio, the company responsible for the creation of Hello Kitty, just from markets outside of Japan.
Having her own show and selling merchandise such as clothes, accessories, electronics, and even cars,it seems only fair that Hello Kitty be given her own stamp
to commemorate her 35 years of "cuteness."
