LOS ANGELES MAID CAFE, ROYAL/T ART GALLERY SPACE, JAPANESE DESIGN DOLL SHOP, COSPLAY LA THEME RESTAURANT.

No need to fly all the way to Japan to visit a maid cafe (where the waitresses wear French maid costumes). You can get your “moe” fix at Royal/T, a Japanese art gallery and maid cafe in Los Angeles. Fun fact: if you scramble “moe,” you get “emo”!

The art space contains a boutique for kawaii toys, Japanese dolls, design books and other wonderful things. Bring your camera: the open, well-lit space and giant art props are perfect for an impromptu shoot.

Manga and maneki nekos (beckoning cat sculptures) on the shelves — Royal/T is a little taste of Akihabara, right in America. You can see more photos of the maid cafe from my previous visit, as well as the Gothic Lolita Phaidon book release party.

What are you up to this weekend? I just saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the new Swedish film with a Goth girl hacker. A fiery performance and brutal murder mystery; it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in theaters recently. Have you seen it or read the book?

    I haven’t seen the film or read the books, but I follow the Swedish news closely. A lot of people are up in arms because apparently Hollywood is going to do a remake of it. I’d want to read the book first, though–because the movies are always so different from the books.

      The books are so long and complex, hahaha, that I don’t know if I want to read them… the movie is great, anyway!

    Is that a cute cookie pillow up there?! ^-^

    That video with the robot is interesting….lol
    I luv the cardboard & aluminum foil that he’s cheesily made from. it’s great!
    the automatic lover thing was getting a little creepy though as he said it a million times.

    I almost bought a book about a month ago about people using realistic androids for sex but then the androids start attacking & it gets harder for people to tell who’s a sex robot & who’s not…
    this has peeked my interest in that book again oddly enough. lol

    Great idea! It’s how we deal with art. Truly, anyone will also love the maid cafe where French maid costumes are worn. Art makes life more exciting and fun.
