ARTICLES ON GOTHIC LOLITA STORES AND STYLE IN TOKYO, JAPAN (PART 2 OF 3).
It’s a kick to look back at my posts from Jan-April 2008, as many of them foreshadow my current work (and play!). I peeked from afar at h.NAOTO’s stores in Shibuya and Harajuku; next week, I’ll be browsing the racks in person. I also wrote about Tokyo theme restaurants, such as Vampire and Christon Cafe; these posts led directly to the Mark Batty book deal that’s sending me to Tokyo.
I posted photos of views of Visual Kei cosplayers and Lolitas posing on Omontesando Bridge in Harajuku; soon, I’ll be standing there with V-fingers. Pop Travel Japan’s Gothic Lolita tour of Tokyo gives me ideas for places to scope out. I’ll definitely be living it up at the club nights I wrote about; I’m especially pumped for Narzib and Tokyo Dark Castle.
In February 2008, I brought on board Basil’s father, Ronan, as a befuddled guest commentator. We can’t make a single decision about the minutiae of daily life without first consulting The Committee (which basically consists of ourselves and our son). Our dialogue began with tongue-in-cheek critiques of Marui’s brands and h.NAOTO’s runway show, leading to the infamous Visual Kei guessing game. Check it out if you missed it.
My blog is officially one year old tomorrow… how shall I celebrate? I’m kicking things off tonight with dinner at a killer sushi-ya!

Hello,
it's been a while. How have you been? I was just wondering if you have a parasol/umbrella because I never see you with one in your photos. I think it would be a good accessory with your outfits.
