This new ad for MAC Cosmetics is a surreal, kinky take on Alice in Wonderland, featuring a trip through a (ahem) pink tunnel that takes Alice into a faraway land, where she gets molested by a roving gang of shirtless, male, SM-styled Hello Kitties. Well, then! Apparently, the four-minute, outre mini-movie is a tie-in to the new Hello Kitty-MAC collaboration. This time around, though, Hello Kitty goes black, and the product line includes Hello Kitty “kitten-eyes,” crosshatched fake eyelashes, Hello Kitty On the Prowl platinum nail polish, and a Hello Kitty plush doll in black pleather. Clearly, all things Alice in Wonderland are looking to be the new new thing. Tim Burton is at work on a live action/stop motion new movie version of Lewis Carroll’s novel, starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway. Who knows if Burton’s redux will be quite so fetishistic as this.

I love Hello Kitty! Apparently I’ve been ahead of the game the whole time. Who knew!?

I thought the Cheshire cat would kick Hello Kitty’s ass. I was wrong. Those Hello Kitty men are terrifying.

There’s some straight up references to Marilyn Chambers first porn: Behind the Green Door.

I crapped myself with joy when I first saw this. I love Hello Kitty… I nearly got a citizens arrest from a guy in my local ski shop when I tried to stretch out a pair of HK ski pants for 6 year olds.

i am strangely infatuated with this ad, just as i was with Gwen Stefani’s “What Are You Waiting For”...even though i didnt want to like her solo stuff bc i heart(ed) No Doubt.
