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.

5 PACKING TIPS FROM KENT & VYXSIN, AMAZING RACE ALL-STAR GOTH TEAM! MY NEW HUFF POST VIDEO SERIES: TRAVEL SOS.
Ahh, ahh, ahh! Here it is — my new video series for Huffington Post, Travel SOS!
In each episode, I tackle a travel question or dilemma, with the help of my expert friends. In the debut episode, I team up with Kent Kaliber and Vyxsin Fiala — the Amazing Race Goth team!

Kent and Vyxsin know all about packing light. On two seasons of the hit show, they raced around the world with their belongings in a single backpack — black eyeliner and glitter polish included.
In our video, they share five tips for minimizing luggage.
1) Be a space cadet.
Fill empty spaces, such as inside hats and shoes. Vyxsin protects a camera by stuffing it in a sneaker.
2) Multi-task.
The Goths demonstrate how a scarf and handkerchief can be used in many ways: a sarong, a headband, a washcloth.
3) Travel size it.
Vyxsin recommends buying toiletries in mini-size and refilling them. Instead of a bulky flat iron, she brings a tiny version.
4) Avoid panic packing.
Start early. Make lists so you won’t forget your passport and mobile charger.
5) Leave non-essentials at home.
Before you put something in your suitcase, consider whether you really need it. Keep out items you can easily get on the road.
Coming up: more episodes, filmed in different cities with celebrity guests. Keep your eyes peeled to the Huffington Post Travel Video page, and your favorite blog ever (this one, right??) for updates.
Thanks to Kent and Vxysin, the Orlando Hotel in West Hollywood, Alice and the Cat for the intro graphic, and Lov/Recs for the music (“Human” by Trans-X).
