La Carmina en Espanol: new Spanish Tumblr! Circus Saturdays at Webster Hall NYC: alt nightlife party.
** UPDATE ** Watch La Carmina on THE DOCTORS TV show! Here are the clip and photos, about Japan bagelheads.
World domination continues, muahaha. La Carmina Blog is now available in Spanish!
My lovely friend Psique is translating parts of my site and creating special content, so that I can share my spooky world with Spanish readers. We invite you to add my Spanish Tumblr and look forward to your feedback. (PS: above is a peek at my new hair… the LA television shoot went very well, more info to come!)
¡Rayos y truenos! El escalofriante blog de La Carmina toma la delantera y abre las puertas de la oscuridad a sus lectores en America Latina: www.la-carmina.tumblr.com!
Recientemente he sido testigo del gran interés que el público hispanohablante ha demostrado por la cultura popular Japonesa, desde ser contactada para hablar sobre la moda Lolita y su impacto en los jóvenes Mexicanos, hasta mi aparición en revistas como: Escala y la Española BadSkin Magazine, sé que la expansión de este fantástico mundo va en la dirección correcta.
La fascinación de America Latina y otros países hispanohablantes por la alucinante moda de Harajuku es innegable, así que… ¿Porqué no compartir mis aventuras con todos ustedes?
A partir de ahora, desde las planicies Burtonianas con mucho amor, podrán encontrar mis post de ultra tumba completamente en Español.
Let’s to back to NYC for a minute. After shooting with Discovery TV’s “Oddities,” I partied hard at Circus, held Saturdays at Webster Hall NYC.
Jenny Knifefight wears h.NAOTO. La Carmina wears hair barrettes gifted by Kreepsville 666, Yosuke shoes from Marui One Shinjuku, and a dress from a long time ago in New York.
When I’m in NY, I always look forward to reuniting with DJ Jess Marquis — his 80s dance remixes are legendary. We went to the Circus Saturday event, where he’s a resident DJ.
Jess also spearheads the incredible Trash party at Webster Hall’s studio. (Remenber when Yukiro and I attended the anniversary bash?)
Things get naughty backstage… Cris works the pole.
What goes on behind the scenes? We see, speak, and hear no evil…
Circus lives up to its name. We ran into a glittery stilt-walker.
Fire dancers took the stage…
… followed by two aerial artists, soaring and twirling.
Girls in bikinis wielding smoke guns. Why not.
Raquel Reed dances up high on the ledge.
Around 3am, we ended up at Walgreens. No idea who the guy in the middle is. All in a night’s work!

Dances of Vice Burlesque Cruise, Yaffa Cafe St Mark’s Place, MediaBistro Social Curation Summit: NYC blog conference.
V-fingers! Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of social media talks and panels (mainly about fashion blogging, travel, and video). Let’s flash-back to NYC, where I spoke at Mediabistro’s Social Curation Summit.
Zebra top: gifted by Lip Service (similar to this shirt)
Pencil skirt with corset lacing: gifted by Lip Service (similar to this skirt)
Blue shoes: got them at IT store in Hong Kong
Brookyln’s NU Hotel staff insisted on doing an impromptu photoshoot in the lobby.
BlaBlaHospital black cat attached to an old purse.
The date on my badge is wrong (should be July 31) but the title is right: Mistress.
I took part in the “Artists on the Verge” panel. I gave advice on how to use social media and blogging to build an entertainment career.
Thanks to everyone who attended; it was fun to chat with you at the wine reception.
That evening, I met CamdenLock Clothing designer Tomomi at South Street Seaport for the Dances of Vice burlesque cruise.
In a cruel twist of fate, we Pirates were unable to find the boarding area. We ran around, searching in vain.
Finally, we found the boat… sailing away. Missed it by minutes!
What to do? Pose for photos on the pier.
La Carmina’s top is from Spider, Hong Kong (similar to this Lip Service shirt).
New plan: Yaffa Cafe on St Mark’s Place.
The 24-hour cafe is famous for its Buddha-Elvis kitsch decor.
The Rococo-zebra prints and chocolate cake suited me quite well.
Ever had a night that didn’t go as planned — but still ended up being fun?
If you’re traveling to New York and need advice, here are my New York posts about shops, hotels, restaurants and more.
