We certainly love to be pampered in style here in Los Angeles, but do some of us need to be massaged and primped in a Hello Kitty world? Why do we ask, you ask? Well, we learned today thanks to CNN GO that the world's first Hello Kitty Beauty Spa is now open in Dubai.

Here's what you'll find there:

Upon entering, you are greeted by a big Hello Kitty face outlined with a red silk bow behind the reception desk as well as receptionists with Hello Kitty faces on their white and pink uniforms.

More than a spa, Hello Kitty Beauty spa is destination that defines exclusive posh pampering - we’re all about sugar, spice and everything incredibly nice! We approach pampering in a positive way that lets you have fun, boosts your inner beauty, makes you feel great and lets your inner princess or queen dazzle.

Now, here in Los Angeles, we already have a hotel with a special Hello Kitty hotel suite. And for the second year in a row, froyo chain Yogurtland is featuring special HK cups, spoons, and merchandise. Even the L.A. Dodgers have special Hello Kitty days for HK-loving Dodgers fans. So maybe a Hello Kitty spa isn't such an outrageous desire for L.A.'s princesses.
