Holy Hello Kitty hotness in a bento box

hello kitty bento
Originally, I was going to call this post "Kitty Porn," but in the wrong context, it just wouldn't be right.

Kitty Porn or not, this is quite possibly the most elaborate, intricate bento box I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bento boxes. Not only is it Hello Kitty (you all know how much I love the little white, mouthless kitty, right?), but it's Hello Kitty in a lettuce (maybe it's cabbage?) leaf Totoro costume, surrounded by all the flowers, bugs and creatures of the forest. I have no idea if someone actually got to eat this masterpiece. All I know is that the most elaborate bento lunch I'd ever get is Mr. Bento.
