DOWNTOWN SEATTLE BOUTIQUE HOTEL: KIMPTON VINTAGE PARK, WINE HOTELS. GOTH CLUB SCENE, NOC NOC INDUSTRIAL MUSIC.
Thanks for supporting our GPKISM dance video on the anniversary of the earthquake! Mary Nine and tank9 are an amazing duo. We hope the video encourages people to take action for Japan.
The charity project wouldn’t have been possible without Seattle’s Kimpton Hotel Vintage Park. (Remember the time we stayed at this boutique wine hotel?)
As a seasoned traveler, I can vouch: Kimpton’s customer service is through the roof. The charming concierge Louis greeted us with hugs, and sent this hand-written note to our room — along with chocolates, a DVD, and a bottle of Syrah!
The rooms are lushly decorated, each with individual artwork. No beige here.
The hotel upgraded us to a double suite. We love the leopard print bathrobes.
Local producers hold afternoon wine tastings, which let the guests mingle. This time, we tried rose and syrah by Washington’s Adamant Cellars.
The beds were comfortable, and had a good bounce! (No, we don’t encourage such naughty behavior…)
Guess who brought these bear bags.
When you travel to Seattle, keep Hotel Vintage Park in mind. You can’t find a warmer hotel (and it’s pet-friendly too).

My dashing eyelashes are a gift by Sugarpill by Shrinkle. Basil Farrow loves the packaging.
Sugarpill’s eyelashes are well-made: no sharp edges, and lightweight. They went on easily and kept their shape, so I can wear them multiple times. Paws up.
Rose also rocked spider lashes.
Lolita-Punk fashion, and leopard half-shaved hair.
That evening, we went to the Industrial night (Resurrection) at Club Noc Noc.
Hugs for everyone who came and supported our project.

I love Kimpton! Have stayed at 4 so far this year and two more this month.
Loveee them!
Since I’m heading up to Tokyo at the end of the month, which closet child locations do you most reccommend? I know where the Harajyuku one is, and I have a map for the others. At the same time, I feel a bit akward dragging my host mom to all of them so trying to go for the usual “bests”
Hi! I recommend the Harajuku and Shinjuku ones for clothing. For Visual Kei merchandise, go to Ikebukuro one. There’s a new one too, far away, and one in Yokohama I haven’t been to. More in my shop guide! http://lacarmina.com/2009/04/tokyo-gothic-lolita-shopping-guide-sweet-and-goth-harajuku-stores-where-to-buy-clothes-in-japan/
