INDEPENDENT FASHION BLOGGERS CONFERENCE 2012, IFBCON LIVESTREAM VIDEO. LA CARMINA ON FASHION TV, NYFW PARTIES.
The IFB Conference panel was absolutely marvelous! I’m overwhelmed by your kind response — thank you so much for joining, responding, and “getting” what I’m about.
I’ll post the full photo set later, but here’s a teaser of my outfit:
Lace 3/4 length sleeves: gifted by Sleevey Wonders. They’re a remarkable slip-on garment that add style, texture and cover.
Hair flower fascinators: gifted by Angelica Brigade.
Tiger dress: gifted by Sourpuss Clothing
Yukiro is wearing a Nyanpire cat cosplay jumpsuit from Tokyo!
I spoke about What Are Bloggers Worth, especially when opportunities knock from having a fashion blog. Many of you were interested in how I got into TV hosting; I hope I answered your questions. If you have more, leave a comment in this post and I’ll answer.
For those who didn’t catch the live broadcast, you see the video of my panel. I’m very happy with how it went.
Yukiro and I have a packed schedule at NY Fashion Week. Most of our events are private invite/industry only, but we hope you can join us on one of these alternative nightcrawls.

JAPANESE NURSE PUNK OUTFIT! JURY BLACK SKULL LEATHER JACKET, FUNNY TOKYO STREET STYLE ON CANADA TV.
I went on a Canadian TV talk show… dressed Nurse Punk! (Video clip is below and here.)
Skull leather jacket: gifted by Jury Black. Seba left it in my room, so it’s now mine.
Silver flower brooch: gifted by Grotan (here’s a similar, affordable one.)
As you can see, my hair is now purple and red, to satisfy you all. My stylist cleaned up the ends, so it looks a lot healthier.
Makeup: MAC false lashes and a bit of Sugarpill turquoise shadow on the lower lids. My dark lip color is MAC, with black-silver glitter on top.
Aren’t the boots smashing? They’re by Rizzo. Found them in Barcelona, years ago.
Skull ring: gifted from Soho Hearts (similar to Alexander McQueen’s skull masterpiece)
Crucifix ring: Guess (they also have a purple crystal heart and cross one)
The handmade hospital-punk dress and hat are a gift from Ako, talented designer of BlaBlaHospital. Her designs are often featured in Kera Magazine.
On the set of the TV talk show.
In my 8-minute interview, I chat about Tokyo shopping, New York Fashion Week, speaking at IFB Conference (come join me!), and my earless cat.
The hosts, Fiona Forbes and Michael Eckford, invited me to return and give them Goth makeovers. Done!
Watch my TV interview above and on YouTube.
What do you think of my new hair color, worn straight? And the outfit: how does it rate on a 1 to 5 scale?
PS: My site had an upgrade, hence the weirdness you may have encountered in the past day. Fear not: everything is back now, better-faster-stronger.
PPS: Thanks to Portrait Magazine for featuring me in their It-Girl Report.
