ALTERNATIVE LGBT NEW YEAR’S EVE IN HOLLYWOOD. NYE BLOW UP! JANE’S HOUSE, LOS ANGELES DJS, RSVP VIP EVENTS LA.
Being a sad and lonely person, I had to hire a Kabuki-cho host boy to keep me company on New Year’s Eve. He had the coveted half-Japanese looks, and the immovable stylized hair. Oh, how he could open Vampire wine with flair!
On December 31st, Sebastiano Serafini (who you may recognize from a certain Japanese TV drama) and I hosted a gathering in our hotel suite.
Flower ring: gifted by Grotan (Japanese jewelry designer)
Knit black bow headband: gifted by CamdenLock Clothing
Faux-fur jacket: a present from a Chinese auntie. It’s mine, but Seba often borrowed it.
What a pair… a pirate and a number one host. (Or a one-dollar host boy?)
Pirate dress: gifted by Lip Service. (Part of the magnificent Brocade Piracy collection.)
Black knee highs with white swirl: gifted from Artisan Socks.
Purple big-eyed makeup: similar to this makeup tutorial. I added sticker gems. We both use a lot white eyeshadow to highlight.
Jpop DJ Del from Tune in Tokyo brought us homemade bread and Nutella — delcicious! Our hotel has free green apples in the lobby. As you can imagine, we ate a lot of them.
Look who got a Super Exclusive Spooky Friendship Club Ring! First Mate Naomi and artist Aidan Casserly joined the pre-party at our gargantuan Orlando Hotel suite. (The West Hollywood boutique hotel hosted us; tons of photos and videos coming up.)
New Year’s Eve requires a nightcrawl. Hello, Hollywood.
I’m not sure what Sebastiano is putting in my mouth.
Not sure about this either….
Purse: h.NAOTO from Closet Child, with creepy-cute charms I added
Boots: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child
The stunning Phyliss Navidad whisked us past the line and welcomed us with champagne. She was the host of “NYE Blow Up!” at Jane’s House, a two-story Victorian manor with a large patio. (Phyliss and Lenora Claire are opening Pop Tart Gallery on Jan 29 with an exhibition by Austin Young… LA friends, you must attend.)
No matter where Seba goes, there are random people who try to strangle him to death.
The DJs spun electro and 80s pop to a friendly, alternative crowd.
The countdown to 2011 took place in the courtyard. Three… two… one… and balloons fell, and we were surrounded by lesbians making out. An auspicious start to the year!
How did you celebrate New Year’s — did you have fun? Instead of resolutions, I like to make ambitions. Got anything exciting planned for 2011? We have many meaningful projects in the worlds… can’t wait!
Japanese Word of the Day: Akemashite omedetou = Happy New Year
Song of the Day: Stacey Q – Two of Hearts (one of the songs the DJs played after midnight)

Can't wait to hear about the new projects!!!
One of my new year plan is to design some cute bags and dress for myself. And keep learning Japanese and Spanish. they're not very special but they means a lot for me:D
Fantastic!!! I want to keep up with Japanese too…
“I’m not sure what Sebastiano is putting in my mouth. ”
That’s not his arm!
… it’s not his arm??? Are you sure?
True! Seba has his hands in his pockets..
Oh yeah… weird!
Look closely at the picture!
It’s from the girl, he has both hands in his pocket!
haha yes, trompe d’oeil!
he is so sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~__^
I choose the one-dollar Host Boy!!! I’ll make him a FIVE-euro host boy.
My New Years eve wasn’t much special until after midnight. I made a wish with a purple ricepaper-lantern together with a friend, then we went for a walk and got drunk of Rosé Prosecco and hot chocolate with Rum we got from people on the streets.
Ahahah! Mmm, that sounds like a yummy NYE..
I really look forward for 2011 to get rolling.(so much art to make)
You advertised hiring interns but you should have informed us you were hiring hosts boys too. *combs hair.*
More like * unleashes a wallop of hairspray *
:)
I’m definitely ready for 2011 to get started and of course, finishing my first year of college. I want to also try something different with my hair like an unnatural color or growing my hair really long.
YES you should do something like that with your hair!! I like ahah
I love how mad Sebastiano looks in the photo where I’m carrying you away!

well here we celebrate the new yeat eating 12 grapes xDDD I’d also prefer to make ambitious instead of resolutions but I’ll be happy if I’ll be able to finally end my book.
I hope all your ambitious become real!!
xoxo
That’s so cool – I love hearing about different ways to celebrate traditionally.
Everything is happening… ahhh!
Spent NYE working then at the pub where my bf works so we could spend it together.

hahahahahahahahhahahaha

Ah! I’ve been waiting for this post. Glad to see that it’s finally up. Now what did I do in New Years…I was talking with a friend of mine for a while regarding an ambition haha. Definitely no resolution, but something that just seems truly impossible to be done. This would take 7 years to happen if we keep our heads & hearts focussed and actually make sure we continue to reach toward the dream no matter what bad thing may happen along the way.
After that I watched a bit of Gaki no Tsukai, as the televised content was already put online.
Then I counted down to New Years, and started to wonder why people make such a big deal about it. I mean it’s just the Earth coming back to where it originally was in the Solar System, 1 year ago! It’s kind of funny how culture affects our moods and way of thinking throughout life. The idea of “A New Year” truly lifts our spirits up.
So glad you had fun at the party. Love your dress. Hope Serafini and DJ Del had fun as well.
what a party! you look great as always ^^
Hope you had fun at our Booby Trap La Carmina! We host events at the mansion regularly so please come back for more fun! xxx
YES we had such a great time!! Let’s keep in touch; I’d love to check out your next event!
happy!
