2011 PART 2: TRAVEL TV HOSTING IN TOKYO, MY OWN VIDEO SERIES FOR HUFFINGTON POST AOL, PRESS TRIP TO MEXICO.
Let’s continue our walk down memory lane, and review the second half of a spectacular 2011.
Sebastiano Serafini and I were guests at Luisaviaroma, an event that brings fashion’s most influential bloggers together. Events included tea with Mulberry, a grand dinner surrounded by animal bones, and haute couture photoshoots in the streets of Florence!
It’s hard not to love Italy. The food, the people, the fashion and architecture… If you missed it, here are all my Europe posts.
A few more milestones… I appeared in Bust Magazine, and on the cover of Alt Noir. I’m on another magazine cover in 2012; can’t wait to spill the beans.
Later that summer, a dream came true: I have a travel TV show on Huffington Post/AOL! In “Coolhunting Wisconsin,” I discover hip, weird, crazy attractions in and around Milwaukee — such as a spy-themed bar and retro love hotel. Watch the videos online.
In July, I jetted back to Tokyo to host and arrange the Japan episode of Fuel TV / Discovery’s Strangers in Danger. The BMX stars got saline donuts in their heads, among other daring tasks. (Are you exhausted from my constant traveling yet?)
The following month, the pretty-boy and I were Guests of Honor at Ani-Jam convention. It was fun to meet all of you who came. I also had a Hello Kitty birthday party at Hollywood club Mr Black, which was featured in LA Weekly.
Back to Tokyo again, to host/arrange episodes of Food Network’s “World’s Weirdest Restaurants,” and appear on NHK Kawaii TV.
I spent Halloween and Day of the Dead in Mazatlan, Mexico — hosting a series about the dark arts and culture. All my Mexican coverage is here, and videos are coming soon.
I haven’t even mentioned the various stops in LA and Vancouver, and my impending return to Italy in January for Firenze4Ever blogger conference…
All in all, it’s been my best year yet! I’m happy with how my work and travels have grown, as well as improvements to the site (loading time, photo quality and styling, etc). And it’s only going to keep getting better. Yarrr.
What are your proudest accomplishments from the past year? Favorite memories? What did you learn, or experience for the first time?

LADY GAGA BOW HAIRSTYLE, PUNK PLAID DRESS & DANGLING SLEEVES GOTH JACKET. FASHIONOLOGY SILVER JEWELRY.
Ho ho ho! I’m having a kick-ass time in Vancouver with Santa Seba. Lots of Christmas fun and food, along with our usual work: filmings, photoshoots, and various artistic tangents.
During the winter, there’s no need to trade style for warmth. Long skirts, velvety layers and tights are my favorite ways to beat the cold.
Punk plaid dress: gifted from Lip Service
Long trailing sleeve jacket: gifted from Lip Service
Black ankle boots: Michael Kors
Mini black purse: from my mom’s old stash of purses
White rabbit lace charm: Putumayo, from the Harajuku boutique
Isolde, my lovely stylist, did my purple hair color. She put half of my hair up, in a Lady Gaga bow-style, and curled the long strands around my face.
Makeup: The usual pallor and false eyelashes from Japan. I wore purple eyeshadow with a slightly bluer tone, to match but also contrast.
Silver rings and necklace gifted by Fashionlogy. I love the sleek, modern design of the crosses and bird skulls. It sets her work apart from the same-old Goth jewelry.
The devil’s in the details. Glittery, blinged-out nail art. Gathered long train in the back of my dress.
What types of outfits are you wearing during the Holiday season? How are you keeping warm, while staying stylish?
