SUSHI IN LITTLE TOKYO, LOS ANGELES: VIVIENNE TAM ELEPHANT GANESHA TOP, YELLOW JOHN FLUEVOG BOOTS, VISUAL KEI FASHION.

Greetings, Adventure Team! As soon as Lemon and Ementhy met up with me in LA, it was lights camera ACTION: I painted their nails, they ripped my stockings; the room became a tornado of pillow fights, black eyeliner, and endless hair teasing. Finally, we rolled out for dinner — horrifically late.

Yellow boots: a new purchase from one of my favorite shoe brands, John Fluevog. I am currently loving yellow shoes.
Black strapless dress: Westmend, a Chinese Lolita brand
Sheer rainbow top: Vivienne Tam. It has prints of Ganesh, the Hindu elephant god, all over it! I bought it almost 10 years ago in Hong Kong.

Witch hat and pumpkin hair clips: from Tokyu Hands Shinjuku. Got them around Halloween.
Ring with roses and crucifix: Refuse to be Usual
Fake eyelashes: sent by Cuberry

I figured out a striking new way to apply nail polish. First, I applied an opaque base coat (Absinthe by OPI x Sephora). Then, I painted silver sparkle polish over, concentrating the largest sparkles at the top of the nail. Ta-da: glittery disco tips.

I know, I know — this blog needs more male fashion, Jrock hair and cute Visual Kei boys. I’m on it.

Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo is one of my favorite spots for Japanese food. Oomasa’s spicy tuna rolls and unagi (eel) did not disappoint.

What do you think of these looks? Do you have any favorite Japanese/male fashion trends? I like shiny dapper shoes, vests and white pants, I do…

Song of the Day #252: Onmyouza – Kokui no tennyo (We’ve been blasting this Visual Kei band while cruising the freeways! What a glorious vibrato the female singer has.)

    Hi sweetie!
    It was a pleasure meeting you! I'm so happy to hear you like the book — I'm motivated to keep writing!
    I was wondering — might you be interested in writing a review of my book on Amazon? Even a short blurb would be awesome. I think your thoughts will be very helpful to other readers interested in buying
    the book. The link is:
