Fashion News Roundup: Hello Kitty Lingerie is On the Way, Adriana Lima is the Latest Pregnant Angel, and Anna Wintour Hosts a Democratic Party

Hello Kitty Lingerie Coming Soon: Lingerie brand Hanky Panky has teamed up with everyone’s favorite mouthless cartoon cat, Hello Kitty, on a collection of undergarments. (Why no mouth? Because Hello Kitty “speaks from the heart.”) Since there are honestly too many R-rated, half-witty comments and puns just begging to be made about this collaboration, we’ll spare you entirely and will simply say: The collection launches in May. {Racked}

Another Victoria’s Secret Angel is Pregnant: There must be something in the holy water at Victoria’s Secret because yet another Angel is pregnant! Adriana Lima announced yesterday that she’s expecting her second child, which puts her on the growing list of growing bikini babes (including Lily Aldridge and Alessandra Ambrosio). No word on how far along she is, but the VS Fashion Show takes place in November (8 mos away), and we wouldn’t be a bit surprised if she shows up with a six pack. {People}

Anna Wintour Parties with the Democrats: As the election creeps closer, fashion’s love affair with the Democratic Party hasn’t shown signs of fading. Monday night, Anna Wintour hosted a fund-raiser to re-elect NY Senator Dem Kirsten Gillibrand, who also sat front row at Carolina Herrera’s show last month. Other politically savvy fashion folk in attendance included DVF, Kenneth Cole, Francisco Costa, and Michel Kors. {WWD}
