LA WEEKLY SLIDESHOW: FEATURED IN 31-PHOTO ARTICLE! NORWAY TV SHOW ABOUT TOKYO, ARI & PER, AIRS FEB 25 ON NRK.
Yah tah tah! Sebastiano Serafini and La Carmina are featured in a 31-photo slideshow on LA Weekly.
Our Hollywood Invasion (December-January) was quite the scandal and success. We had important meetings and TV shoots, hosted a New Year’s party at Bar Sinister, modeled for Lip Service and Blablahospital. Above all, we’ve teamed up with NOH8 and are helping to bring the campaign to Tokyo for the first time, in late March. (There’s more info about NOH8 in Japan here.)
LA Weekly took notice of our spooky-punk fashion, and asked to showcase our adventures in a web gallery. We gladly complied. Come take a look at our LA Weekly feature — we hope it makes you smile!
You can see more photos and stories in the Seba in America blog category.
Vidunderlig! The Norway TV episode about Tokyo, which I hosted, premieres this week. Nordmenn, I hope you’ll watch “Ari og Per” (“Ari & Per”). It airs Feb 25, Feb 26, and March 2 on NRK (full schedule is here).
Perhaps I should have left my glass slipper in Japan. One of the travel show hosts is Ari Behn, the Prince of Norway! I can assure you, he’s very much the gentleman and scholar in person.
His partner in crime is famous photographer Per Heimly, who shot album covers for black metal band Dimmu Borgir. What fun it was to shoot a TV show in Tokyo, with these two rock stars.
First Mate Naomi arranged and translated for the program. (Not many Japanese speak English, despite what the signs say.) After a long day of filming, we introduced the Norwegian crew to the outrageously tasty CoCo Curry (Curry Ichiban).
The theme of the episode is Japanese Love. We can’t show or tell more until the show airs… but here’s a hint. Gaudy host clubs. And host boys? You bet.
Tune in to NRK Norway to see my latest TV appearance. (Times, channels and details are here.) For those of you outside Norway, I’ll upload clips later on.
And please take a few seconds to check out our LA Weekly slideshow gallery. Thank you to Liz for featuring us.

<3 <3 Thank you!
I am glad you are putting videos of the Norway show up because I am curious to see!
Uaghhhh very nice!!!!!
congratulations ♥
The prince of Norway meets the princess of evil. And you top off this sinister cake with a dash of a black metal photographer. I can’t wait to see the footage. ^o^
Muahahah! The photos will make you laugh too… I’ll be putting em up soon!
I won’t be able to watch you tonight (going to se Kaizers Orchestra live, ladida~) but I’ll watch it later! Promise!
And technically, he isn’t our prince. He just married the princess, who formally lost her title becuase of it. She’ll always be a princess to the poeple though ^-^
Hah you can’t miss Kaizers… but great! There are several showtimes.
Ari acts princely all the time, and dresses like one, I can tell you that…
YES YES YES! Host boys <3
Oh my goodness. Not just host boys, but NUMBER ONE host boys!!
Loved the slideshow! And oooooo host boys!
Heeheh get ready for lots of host boy pics!
I’ll definitely watch that show tonight! even though I’m not really a big fan of Ari Behn -.-‘ XD but it will be fun nontheless! ^-^
Wonderful!! I look forward to hearing what you think!
It was great!! XD it was very funny, but it could have had more La Carmina in it ;D ^-^
Aww thank you!
I’ve been watching NRK all day long to make sure that I won’t miss the show! XD It’s almost kinda surreal that you and Ari Behn have met. I suppose he’s known as an eccentric here in Norway but I’ve never been much of a fan, though I’ve started to like him a bit more as of late. I’m looking forward to the show either way! ^_^
Haha that’s so cool – thanks for watching! He’s a really sweet person, very caring.
I love La Carmina!!
