Sugar Minuet, the cutest characters coming out of the Sanrio stable!

Hello Kitty nauseates me no end but when its makers Sanrio came up with Sugarminuet, a pair of ballerina bunny sisters I was more than pleasantly surprised. Welcome Ballet Usa and Prima Usa and thats not USA its usa that is short of usagi, or rabbit in Japanese. Ballet Usa is a little diva in her own way. She is make-up loving ballerina with a swan’s grace and pink fur. Prima Usa reminds me of Betty ( Archie's Betty), a dreamy and romantic white bunny. Both of them sport shiny, sparkly tiaras. Debuting on August 8th, the pair have already established a line of goods that includes plush toys, stationary, and bags- all in a ballerina-esque blend of white and sugar pink and trimmed with ruffles, ribbons, and roses.

Apart from Sugarminuet, they have immortalised characters include Cherinacherine, two little bears who live in a cherry forest, and My Sweet Piano, an affectionate lamb with a strawberry cap and friend of My Melody. For the first time I think they have come up with something really really cute!
