LA CARMINA COOLHUNTING TRAVEL SHOW DEBUTS ON HUFFINGTON POST! SUBCULTURES TV HOST: WEIRD WISCONSIN HOTELS, FOOD.
It’s a dream come true… I’m hosting a coolhunting travel show for Huffington Post / AOL! And the first episode is out today!
Now you know why I was in Wisconsin for a “secret project”, last July. Milwaukee was the first stop for my video series, which lets you join me on my adventures. As your show host, I travel to the most unlikely of places, digging up what’s hip and happening.
My first stop is the kitschy Don Q Inn, which would put love hotels in Japan to shame. Please take a second to click and watch the first episode!
Huffington Post is featuring me on their front page today. You can read my fun introduction to “Coolhunting Weird Wisconsin” here.
I also graced the front page of AOL – America Online!
I’m excited to bring my quirky, alternative travel coverage to Huff Post. I can’t thank my editor enough for the opportunity to write, host and field-produce a travel series that’s 100% me: cute-Gothic outfits and all!
❤ Please take a minute to watch the premiere video of my love hotel escapades. Your support means I’ll be able to continue the series for you.
❤ It’d be amazing if you could tell your friends about my video through an email, Tweet or Facebook post. The short-link is: http://goo.gl/J53XE (you can just paste it on your wall!)
If enough of you get the word out… I’ll photos of me strapped to a bondage bed tomorrow!
What do you think of “Coolhunting Weird Wisconsin“? Are you glad to see an alt travel show? Where in USA should I head next?
❤ Every click counts… come watch my show on Huff Post TV!

LA CARMINA ON FOOD NETWORK! WORLD’S WEIRDEST RESTAURANTS: BOB BLUMER. JOIN MY BIRTHDAY AT MR BLACK LA!
Two ARR-amazing announcements! First, The Pirates are being flown to Tokyo and Kyoto in September… for a Food Network TV mission! Second, I’m having a Super-Cute Hollywood birthday bash on August 23. And you’re invited. Keep reading for the shiny details.
My company, La Carmina & The Pirates, is getting tons of great gigs (recall I was just in Tokyo for Discovery/National Geographic/Fuel TV). We do TV hosting, fixing (location scouting, arranging, translating) and coolhunting/consulting. Our specialties: subcultures, fashion, travel, food, pop culture, and all things weird.
My First Mate, Naomi Rubin, made this glorious drawing of us — doesn’t it scream “Arrr!?” In addition to being a pirate, Naomi’s an imaginative, talented artist and web designer. You can see more of her design work on her website.
The crew behind a new Food Network show, World’s Weirdest Restaurants, wanted to film inside bizarre Japanese eateries. Who better to contact than the author of Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo?
So we’ll be joining host Bob Blumer, who you may know from shows Glutton for Punishment and The Surreal Gourmet for Food Network Canada. I’ll be appearing on-camera as his Tokyo sidekick!
We can’t reveal specifics about the new TV show. But you can expect to see your favorite spooky faces, and wacky cafes featured in my book. (You can read more about theme restaurants in this blog category.)
But before we jet to Japan for a month… let’s party in Hollywood! Mr Black, the glam nightclub brainchild of Luke Nero, is throwing me a Super Cute Birthday Party on August 23rd.
It’s free entry, so you have no excuse not to show up. Los Angeles friends, please spread the word — I hope to see you at my Mr Black birthday bash!
La Carmina’s Super Cute Birthday Party
Mr Black at Bardot Hollywood
1737 Vine St at Hollywood, Los Angeles CA
Tuesday August 23rd, 9:30pm – 2am (age 21+)
FREE to enter – no cover!
Facebook RSVP page
You can see my previous Mr Black club coverage here.
I leave you with a random video: Seba and La Carmina at the Luisaviaroma fashion blogger event, in Florence Italy.
Do you watch Food Network? What are your favorite shows and hosts? Are you excited to see me and my posse on World’s Weirdest Restaurants?
PS: Please share this link and let your LA friends know about my birthday party!
