DAS BUNKER: GOTH INDUSTRIAL DANCE CLUB, LOS ANGELES CATCH ONE NIGHTCLUB. JAPANESE GOTHIC CLUB FASHION.
Heavy Metal Adventure Team assemble… and commence nightcrawl! We met friends at the Palms Thai restaurant on Hollywood, home to the infamous Thai Elvis impersonator. I had a very spicy papaya salad.
We tried to do a Power Rangers group pose and failed.
The Adventure Team piled into the Death-Mobile and stopped twice (!!) for alcohol before arriving at Goth/Industrial club night, Das Bunker. After their recent LA concert, DJ SiSEN and Selia headed straight there (in Kynt and Vyxsin’s car!) to stomp the night away.
Das Bunker was as epic as its name. Three dance floors (Goth, Industrial, Power Noise) that played excellent obscure tracks in addition to favorites by VNV Nation, Combichrist and Nitzer Ebb. A friendly, spooky-cyber crowd (although a girl spilling out of her latex panties made Lemon and me tilt our heads). Unlike most clubs, there was enough quiet lounge space for us to talk and rehydrate. Los Angeles Goths — this is where you must be on Friday nights!
What I wore:
Flower clip in hair: Don’t buy an overpriced one from an accessories boutique! I got mine for $1.50 from a fabric store.
Pink feathers in hair: Rather than using hair extensions, I tied and pinned feathers in my hair. I got them from Odakaya in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Dress: Yumi London (see more photos here)
Spikes and faux fur Goth jacket: Lip Service
Crucifix bead necklace: handmade. Want to make one? Read my DIY blog post.
Who’s going to the midnight opening of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland — and dressing up? We are, we are!
Song of the Day #317: Apoptygma Berzerk – Love Never Dies (one of the tracks played that night. Can’t get enough of the O Fortuna clip.)

I’m planning to dress up for Alice in Wonderland. I don’t know in what dress, anyway. But I really want to dress up!
show us the Alice pictures when you to the premiere and dress up!
Of course! ;) Every day is a photo shoot!
One of my friends has been trying to get me to Bunker for like three years! I actually think I may have made an appearance as Blue Suzu at the location on a Thursday night, so it was all different. I love your little jacket. D: <3
My mother hates that jacket muahahaha but too bad!! I love it!!!
I have a “fur” coat similar to that… but it’s a bit bigger. Lip Service is just too awesome lol
Power Ranger ASSEMBLE….fail xD
I guess the Adventure Team isn’t quite Power Rangers material yet :X
I wouldn’t be THAT hard on us. The camera angle was not helpful to displaying the true wonder of this pose.
True, true… :D

I would be going to Alice in Wonderland’s opening night, but school the next day forbids it. I am going right after class on Friday, and I’m planning to be in-costume all day! (Modern Alice, complete with blue-streaked wig and striped leggings!)
And I’m planning to see it again during March Break, for which I have a femme-Hatter costume :3 (It’s a group dress-up, so we’ll have almost the entire cast!)
Costume all day = YESS! That’s the way to be! Let me know what you think of the movie — so far, people are saying it’s good…
The looks I get at school make it all worth it :P
Will do. Burton hasn’t let me down.. yet *knocks on wood*

Oh, I wanted to dress as the White Queen but as there’s not much time left I’m planning an “Alice in Wonderland goes Loli” kind of thing. I hope the final product looks cool, even when it’s totally improv.
Can’t wait to see it! The movie and your pics ^w^
Sounds cute!!
I look really awful in these. x_x
love everyone’s outfit!!! you all look fantastic hehehe and sounds like a very fun fun night hehehe ;)!!!

That is our lovely new Undead Metalhead, K — also a member of their Visual Kei band!
I have to wait a couple o weeks to see Alice in Wonderland… =(
but when I do I am most definately dressing for the occasion! ^-^
Any excuse to dress up is a-ok with me!
The night can never go wrong with VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk ;)
