The video’s set in the space-themed Yotel, our sponsor hotel during New York Fashion Week.
What will travel look like in fifty years? Will we have robots and aliens?
Find out above and on Huffington Post.
Inside Yotel, a Tumi robot arm carries and stores luggage for guests.
The lobby has a row of touch-screen computers for check-in.
Our sleek white cabin (that’s what they call the rooms) quickly got messy. We loved the free coffee machines on each floor.
Located at 10th Avenue and W42 in New York City, the hotel is hard to miss.
On the 4th floor, chef Richard Sandoval’s restaurant DohYo fuses Latin and Asian cuisine.
Beam me up, Scotty! London’s Softroom and NYC’s Rockwell Group collaborated on the outerspace interior design.
Mat Devine has a killer sense of humor, and we loved hanging out with him in New York. Kill Hannah is currently on tour; you can see fun updates on his Twitter and Facebook.
Inspired by Japanese capsule hotels, the rooms have space-saving elements such as retractable beds.
The VIP suite has a hot tub, 180 degree view, and dining table that converts to a billiard table.
Aliens not included!
Cabins begin at $149 a night, and can be booked via the Yotel NYC website.

ANNIVERSARY OF JAPAN EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI: FUKUSHIMA ANIMAL RESCUE GROUPS HELPING ABANDONED CATS & DOGS.
Thank you, everyone, for thinking of Japan on the March 11th anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami. Yesterday’s charity dance video shoot went brilliantly. We’re excited to share it with you.
Let’s not forget Japan’s animals, who went through hell after the disaster, and still are in great need. Thousands are stuck in the exclusion zone, where rescue groups are not allowed in.
I wrote a Huffington Post article about Fukushima’s pets. I hope you’ll read & share. They need our help.
I urge you to donate, or raise funds for well-vetted charities. Last year, Seba and I took part in a variety of fundraising, including art auctions, writing articles…
… and collaborating on a charity fashion and jewelry line to benefit Japan, which you can find here.
All of these activities are covered in my Japan Earthquake section.
Interviewing Japan animal rescue groups makes me realize — Basil Farrow is one lucky fellow.
More photos of my kawaii kitty on my Tumblr and Instagram (lacarmina).
What are your thoughts on the animal rescue efforts, and the Japanese government’s lack of response? Leave a comment in my Huff Post article.
