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!

Berlin alternative art, clubs & colorful graffiti! Tacheles Kunsthaus Oranienburger, DJ SiSEN, German Goth parties.
A final post about Germany, followed by the Go With Oh travel video! Berlin’s alternative / Goth scene comes alive at nightfall. Gsus, DJ Sisen and friends took us on a tour of their favorite underground bars and haunts.
SiSen’s body parts. He’s currently DJ-ing and organizing several parties in Berlin (where he now lives), including Japaranoia.
We stopped by Galerie 5th people project, an art space with events such as “Birthday with Japanese Drag Queens.”
Rose ruffle skirt: Spider, Lolita brand in Hong Kong
Goth top: Putumayo from Closet Child
Flower hair clip-ins: provided by Angelica Brigade
Velvet goth jacket: gifted by Lip Service (here is a military jacket)
Blue shoes: John Fluevog (love their buckle boots)
This exhibit was called “What You See Is What You Get.” How would you interpret the artwork?
The gallery’s run by a sweet team from Japan that supports independent artists.
Next, the important matter of food. We had difficulty locating the restaurant.
Since it was our last night in Berlin, it made sense to eat traditional German food. Redfish and apple strudel and wine.
Stuffed, we toured the Oranienburger neighborhood, home to bright graffiti and streetwalkers.
SiSEN throws parties at Monsterkabinett.
The decor inside is eerie.
Outside, a towering elephant-nosed monster. When you insert a coin, he opens his mouth and flaps his metal wings.
We ended up at Tacheles, legendary art center with every inch covered in graffiti. The space has a long cultural history, as you can gleam from Wikipedia.
For years, Tascheles has been peril of being shut down. In early September, the remaining artists were forced to vacate, but my friend are making great efforts to keep the community alive.
The walls are a perfect backdrop for photos.
