BEST NEW YORK GAY, GLAM CLUB NIGHT! TRASH NYC WEBSTER HALL ANNIVERSARY PARTY, DRAG QUEENS & BUTCHER KNIFE PURSE.
Let’s scream it loud and clear. La Carmina’s keeping her foot firmly planted in the world of subcultures!
None of the NY Fashion Week parties held a light to Trash! NYC, the legendary alt/glam club. Ready for the epic, epic photos?
I was one of the hosts of the 10th anniversary extravaganza, held at Webster Hall’s Studio.
What joy to be reunited with my NYC spooky crew! (Photos with this watermark by Nicky Digital.)
Everyone wanted to hold my bloody butcher knife purse, a gift from Kreepsville 666.
Handmade hair flower accessories: gift from Angelica Brigade
Heart sweater: got it in Mongkok, Hong Kong
Jenny wears an h.NAOTO top. Kanae rocks a Jim Sinn jacket, Boy London shirt, and Underground creeper shoes.
Yukiro Dravarious, evil queen from space, filled out a Police Girl vintage dress from Stockholm.
This photo pretty much summed up the atmosphere.
We alternated between dancing on stage, and hanging in the private back room.
The magnificent DJ Jess spun 80s and 90s hits, mixed with electronic, punk, New Wave.
Above two photos by May Young, who interviewed me for The Examiner (thank you!)
My black tulle skirt is gifted by Shabby Apple, from the Tinsel Town vintage-inspired collection available here.
The room was filled with stunning drag queens and space-glam looks.
Finally, an event where people put effort into lavish, handmade outfits.
And dare to get naughty.
Another Webster Hall event was going on at the same time. We enjoyed spooking the “normal” crowd.
Between the DJ sets, there were drag performances…
Burlesque stripteases…
An old school Goth band, and a mass spanking!
Oh, what an evening. NYC friends, you’ve got to experience Trash. Upcoming dates are on their Facebook.

HOUGHTON NEW YORK FASHION WEEK AFTERPARTY, NYFW TRIBECA GRAND PARTIES. MEINTO: LOCAL, DESIGNER CLOTHING SHOP.
My NY Fashion Week coverage continues, and will for some time — I edited about 250 photos from this trip alone! Keep reading for my “glam punk opera” adventure with Yukiro. (Above shot by Louie Metzner.)
First, a shoutout to Meinto.com. The online boutique brings together small selections from local designers, making them available worldwide. I’m all about supporting indie labels, and Meinto has a great eye for unique and well-made pieces.
It’s hard to pick my favorites from more than 2500 items. For a rocker-Gothic look: fleur de lis tote, white leather jacket, grey pearl rosary necklace, open-toed studded shoes, and long black skirt.
Meinto is currently holding a contest for a $1000 shopping spree; you can enter via their Facebook. Go for it!
In New York City, Yukiro and I were hosted by the space-themed hotel, Yotel. Needless to say, it suited us to a T. We can’t wait to show you the fun video we made.
Many fashion week bashes occur at the Tribeca Grand Hotel. We went for the Houghton afterparty.
Skeleton dress: gifted by Kreepsville 666 (who also conceived the butcher knife purse; more pics soon.)
Yukiro’s flower clips: gifted by the lovely Angelica Brigade
We enjoyed cavorting with the Roma!, a glam-opera band that embraces decadence and fantastical facial hair.
What do you think of our outfits and makeup at this event? Where are your favorite places to shop online, for unique clothing?
