SEXY COSPLAY COSTUMES! ANIME BURLESQUE SHOW AT BORDELLO BAR, LA. SAILOR MOON, PIKACHU, EVANGELION GIRLS STRIPPING.
What happens when you combine anime (Japanese cartoons) with burlesque (girls taking their clothes off)? Anime Burlesque: a sexy strip-show from LA’s Devil’s Playground troupe. (All photos except the final cam-whoring ones are taken by my Pirate First Mate, Naomi Rubin.)
Sebastiano and I were invited to max-capacity show at Bordello Bar in Los Angeles. Obviously, we had to wear revealing anime outfits too.
La Carmina is wearing: Sailor costume dress, gifted from Lip Service. White bead and gold bracelet, gifted from RJ 1959. Tattoo tights, gifted from Artisan Socks.
Seba is wearing: a variety of items gifted from Lip Service. I like the “little schoolboy” snap-button shirt.
The girls wore meticulous cosplay outfits: Trixie from Speed Racer, Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. And then took it all off on stage!
LA Weekly kindly reserved us front row seats, and bought us spiced rum.
A performer needed to borrow my chair, so I sat on my vampire-boy.
Each disrobing was set to upbeat anime music. The Speed Racer driver got high kicks and a happy ending.
Sailor Moon and Evangelion’s Rei bare it all.
A lapdance from Pikachu proves to be a dangerous prospect.
We loved the cheeky twist on burlesque, and the girls’ happy attitudes. Courtney Cruz organizes monthly burlesque shows in LA, with themes such as Star Wars and Edible Girls. Check out the site to catch the next one.
How did I do my makeup? I fully lined my eyes with blue eyeliner, and put sparkly black eyeshadow on the outer edges. I stuck on fake bottom lashes and blue gems around the eyes. My hair was still back-combed and poofed from NOH8 photoshoot, so I tied it in pigtails.

Burlesque anime,ooh la la.(sexy pikachu attack!)
I love the circuit pattern on Seba’s clothes. He’s gone bionic.
Bionic boy! :) Lip Service’s clothes are so much fun. They have some very skimpy costumes!
Wow. Simply wow.
That’s a pretty intense party. I love your outfit and the poses you and Seba are doing together~!
It’s so funny how he wore the sunglasses the entire time ;)
I love your costumes! I still am looking for the right (not too pricey) pieces to have for events.
The costumes are from Lip Service, and they’re pretty reasonably priced. My Goth Nun vinyl skimpy outfit was from LS too :D
anything Sailor Moon related…I’M IN! proud Sailor Moon fan since 1995
It was quite bizarre to see Sailor Moon taking off her clothes!
I was thinking the same right now even if I’m a SM fan since I was 11 xD
OMG the pikachu lapdance was…lol. And Seba looked like a pimp. And you looked amazing! Are your eyes really that big though?
Yes, my eyes are naturally big… No Photoshop or surgery! Seba can confirm ;)
