SHINJUKU TOKYO GOTH CLUBS, MUSIC & DJS: RITUALS THE HEAD SHOP, KENZO-A. DARKWAVE ROCK TECHNO PUNK ELECTRO PARTY.
Goth girls come out to play… at night with Kenzo-A! The Rituals designer has a new monthly Goth music event, The Head Shop.
What’s spookier — my luminescent makeup, or the stuffed dog in Seba’s pants?
First, we filled up at a Shinjuku izakaya (Japanese pub). I’m carrying a souvenir from my coolhunting travel TV show… soon, you’ll find out what it means!
One of my favorite flavors: shiquasha, a green Okinawan fruit. Delicious, mixed with alcohol.
We ran into frightening individuals in front of Studio Alta (a common meeting place in Shinjuku).
Did you know that Atsushi and Takashi are twins?
The Head Shop has live DJ sets all night long (techno, house, Gothic, electro) — as well as bands and fashion shows. This “Kenzomas” event was at Shinjuku Motion (next to Club Marz, where Midnight Mess and Tokyo Dark Castle go down).
Party’s in the elevator.
You can spot blue-haired Kenny Creation from a mile away.
Kenzo’s Rituals clothing is available to purchase. If you wear his clothing to the event, you get a discount.
Yes, that’s a man in a glowing bra.
Seba and Atsushi get frisky with neon glowsticks.
The master of the festivities, Kenzo-A.
Don’t miss his next Head Shop party: Friday, September 23, from midnight to morning at Shinjuku Club Marz. There are DJs, bands and a fashion show to celebrate Ritual’s 3rd anniversary. Full details and prices (including discounts) are on the flyer.
For a taste of the music, check out my video above and here (footage from the last party is near the end). What do you think?
Where are these Tokyo Goth Industrial clubs? What are they like? How do you get in? All the details are in my Club Guide.

HELLO KITTY BIRTHDAY PARTY AT MR BLACK HOLLYWOOD CLUB. VIP TABLES, GLAMOROUS MAKEUP, BEST LOS ANGELES NIGHTLIFE.
This year, I had the best birthday to date… a Hello Kitty party at Los Angeles’ glammest nightclub! Huge hugs for Luke and Lenora, who collaborated with me on the event.
And thanks to LA Weekly for featuring my bash in a slideshow, titled La Carmina’s Super Cute Birthday @ Mr. Black LA.
It’s my birthday, and I’ll pile on the makeup if I want to. Glitter, gems, gloss. Two layers of eyelashes.
Seba took the same approach to his hair. Forceful spikes and loads of hairspray.
Doesn’t he look like Cloud from Final Fantasy?
Earlier that day, we made our usual pilgrimage to Toni and Guy, where they styled my hair into a Hello Kitty hair bow. My red dress is by our friend Ako, designer of Blablahospital.
Outside the club (Bardot Hollywood), I met the incomparable Jeff Paice — who made an accessory inspired by my kitty, Basil Farrow!
Ladies of the night: Lenora Claire, La Carmina, Melissa Brown.
Thank you to everyone who came, and got down with dressing up for the theme.
So many creative interpretations of Hello Kitty.
We had VIP table, with a vodka bottle.
Mr Black is infamous for its bare-butt servers. For my birthday, this fellow affixed a Kitty-tattoo!
Yes, my hair is crimped.
So good to see friends, old and new.
Wild things.
A joy to be reunited with Clint Catalyst and Zoetica Ebb.
Thank you to Shannon Cottrell for photographing La Carmina’s birthday for LA Weekly.
Funny story… at first, we didn’t recognize our friend in the middle! Can you guess who it is? Hint: we hung out at the alternative New Year’s party in LA.
What’s the best birthday party you’ve ever thrown, or attended? Wish you were at mine? Maybe next year!
Song of the Day: Air Supply – Making Love Out of Nothing At All (why not? It’s a karaoke favorite for me.)
