Janes Addiction's Dave Navarro's Hello Kitty Addiction

Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro discusses his fascination with Hello Kitty with Maxim.

My first crush was on a Japanese girl in elementary school. After the summer she would come back with Hello Kitty items. So I always identify the logo with that first innocent crush.

This post is a real delight for me! My boyfriend is a huge Jane’s Addiction fan, they are in his top five favorite bands of all time. I hope this article proves to him that Hello Kitty’s cuteness is universal and boy’s aren’t too cool for the kitty!

I think I’ll run out and buy him a ton of Hello Kitty stuff to wear today! Tee hee hee! ♥
