OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU LA CARMINA BLOG! TOKYO WEIRD THEME RESTAURANTS BOOKS ARRIVE.
I spent a good chunk of the last four months in Tokyo. The Gackt concert in Saitama rocked my socks off (and the screaming girls nearly destroyed my eardrums!). I photographed teen Lolitas outside the stadium, marveled at the Gackt-o cosplayers and merchandise, and filmed a hilarious concert review with Sebastien while dressed in a skimpy maid outfit. What a trip.
A week later, I went to worship at the altar of Mana-sama at Moi dix Moi’s concert in Ebisu. The cosplayers were magnificent, and props to all the girls who wore full EGL outfits in the sweltering heat. Once again, we shot a doki-doki movie that sums up the live experience.
Where are we now? My new book, Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo is now out! Ten copies arrived at my door and the quality is phenomenal. If you’re a picky design addict like me, you won’t be disappointed at the photo, layout and printing. Those interested in ordering, click here.

DAY 2: BEST OF LAST YEAR'S BLOG POSTS ROUNDUP. DEATH COOKBOOK GOTH RECIPE SHOW, ALICE IN WONDERLAND COSPLAY TEA PARTY, SCOTTISH FOLD VIDEOS.
Tomorrow is the La Carmina blog’s second birthday, so let’s continue our celebrations by reviewing January to April 2009. I rang in the New Year in creepy-kawaii style at a Fetish Ball. And what a phenomenal year it’s been. Soon, I will announce something absolutely mind-boggling that involves Tokyo and TV. Trust me — it’s a squealer, and it wouldn’t have been possible if I didn’t start this blog!
Another turning point this year: buying a Sony Handycam (highly recommended) and teaching myself film editing on Adobe Premiere. My YouTube channel went from jerky shots of Basil Farrow to scripted, sound-dubbed episodes of Death Cookbook.
Movie-making is now become one of my favorite means of creative expression — especially when it involves collaborating with friends. You can expect much more from the spooks… including Goth Cooking Show Episode 5, to be uploaded soon! (Please subscribe so you won’t miss it.)
Basil Farrow also came into his own this year. Ronan and I set up a Facebook page for our son (you can add him here) and launched a Scottish Fold kawaii blog (which brought him many new foldy-eared friends).
May I ask you for a favor? It would be wonderful if you could vote for our kitty in a newspaper’s Cute Pet contest! Simply Fan this Facebook page (you can remove it afterward) and Like or Comment the photos of Basil Farrow. Thank you so much!
Song of the Day #198: Mia Farrow – Love (She’s a magnificent singer and plays Peter Pan in a 1976 television special.)
