MIDNIGHT MESS: TOKYO GOTH LOLITA NIGHTCLUB, JAPAN FETISH PARTY, LIVE BANDS, EBM.
O Midnight Mess, Tokyo’s “dai ichiban” (#1) Gothic club night – how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One: thou encourageth me to don my Gothest, glammest finery. I found these cute, heart-print over-the-knee socks in an Ikebukuro stand… for only $3.50!
Cute panda ring: from a kawaii outlet store in Ikebukuro
White Rabbit charm (worn as a necklace) and watch: Putumayo
Black layered dress: h.NAOTO, from Closet Child Harajuku
Jacket with gathered sleeves: Metamorphose temps de fille, from Close Child Shinjuku
Diamond body sticker: Daiso.
Bindi: my friend Melissa got me these from India!
Two: Midnight Mess, thou art the playground upon which the children of the night frolic. Yukiro Dravarious, one of the club night’s doormen, came over to play dress-up. The glitter tattoos and body stickers are from the dollar store, Daiso; the dress is… well, the length at the front is scandalous!
Three: the mass, the madrigal, the motet… aka the pounding EBM and industrial tracks of party organizer DJ Maya. Sisen, Chihiro and others often come to play – as well as bands such as Skinny Puppy.
Four: a Canterbury Tales cast of characters! Many of the partygoers speak English (including DJ Maya). You’ll be sure to meet new friends and find dark fashion inspiration.
Five: the iron maiden, the wheel, the rack! Mistress Maya (yes, she wears many hats) displays her Japanese bondage and suspension techniques on a willing victim.
The next time you’re in Tokyo, come join the danse macabre! Visit the Midnight Mess website for upcoming event details. How about location and price? Keep watching this page… I’ll post a YouTube video explaining it all!

Great photos, you look gorgeous and I LOVE your hair as always! ^___^
It sucks so much that I didn't get to go when I was in Tokyo, but I will next time (however, I am one of the people who DEARLY need an explanation on location, time and price to have any chance of ever going… xD)
So… speaking of gorgeous, will we see more of Man Heaven???
I had to ask. o_o I'm sorry, I will go punish myself now…

Hahahah! Maya will give you a good flogging!
(Goth club explanatory video is on the way… :D)
You will see MUCH more Man Heaven in my upcoming Theme Restaurants book!
Ooh, interesting. Pretty cool that Maya is multitalented!
I think I definitely need an explanation for what falls under 'dress coded.' I'm still undecided whether I want to go to one of these are not, being my first time in Japan, and on my own (plus it's a school trip, though we are allowed lots of freedom since we're adults). I think I'd be more comfortable if I had someone I knew (like my BF!) with me. :) It does look like fun though, and the people seem like they would be nice.

Definitely encourage you to check it out – everyone is so welcoming!

I had so much fun at the previous month's Midnight Mess! Sisen was indeed there, almost unrecognisable without his trademark eye make-up and big cyber dreads…we had a good stomp to the industrial music being played. There were a lot more westerners there than at Alamode, it seemed to me. I must chase up some pics the photographer Kousuke took of me there…
