BODYLINE OSAKA: SWEET & GOTHIC LOLITA DRESSES, JSK, BUY CUTE JAPANESE GIRLS ACCESSORIES & CLOTHING. BAR SINISTER LA PARTY TONIGHT!

SEBASTIANO SERAFINI ... GOTHIC LOLITA TWIN G...

Posted by La Carmina on January 1, 2011

Happy New Year! Mine was amazing. I was a pirate and Sebastiano was the number one host boy. His stylized hair still looks the same as yesterday. Photos and stories from Hollywood to come. We hope you’ll party with us tonight at Bar Sinister (keep reading for the full details)…

“Sugar, ahh, Honey, honey. You are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you.”

The Archies song ran through my head when I arrived at the Bodyline boutique in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.

The big red-and-gold sign and giant Lolita photo are hard to miss.

Bodyline sells Japanese street style clothing for low prices. Sweet Lolita is popular here, but there’s also Goth, rock and punk.

The skirts may be made from cheaper materials, but the prints are cute.

I like the chandeliers and the spacious layout of this store. But I can’t stand the frantic techno Disney songs that are always playing in Bodyline!

There’s a large selection of cosplay outfits, including maid costumes.

So much to choose from… thankfully, the prices are affordable. Bodyline’s clothing and shoes also come in larger sizes!

Need maps and a full guide to Osaka Gothic Lolita boutiques? It’s all in my Japan shop guide.

Arigato to RashRo for the fanart! I dig the single wing and tentacles coming out my back. I always love featuring your drawings on my blog; email me your La Carmina or Basil Farrow art, and I’ll post it.

TONIGHT! Come party with La Carmina and Sebastiano Serafini at Bar Sinister in Hollywood.

We’ll be introducing the alternative bands Julien-K and The Dreaming. There will be fetish playroom stations, Goth EBM Industrial deejays, and copious amounts of absinthe… who’s ready to join us?

I totally love the first pink and black stripes outfit is AMAZING!! I never saw it in Bodyline web page >.< is hard to get those pretty clothes in Europe, the best is always in the shop not in the web! One day I will have to go shopping there. Thanks for your awesome blog posts!

I have so much love for Bodyline! A fellow classmate introduced me to the line a few months ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. Also, the fanart is too cute. ^_^

I have top right hand side dress in the pink and red. I am a big fan of Bodyline for sweet/classic lolita. Not all of us can dedicate our pay packets to Angelic pretty!!
