CLUBBING IN ROPPONGI TOKYO: NEW LEX EDO, JAPAN VIP MODELS NIGHTCLUB. ALICEANDTHECAT MANGA DESIGNER & ILLUSTRATOR.
Notice anything different about my blog? I have a new banner (look up!), designed by my ultra-talented friend Alice and the Cat.
Last month, Seba and I presented a party at Roppongi nightclub New Lex, where Alice exhibited her artwork.
When I’m in Tokyo, I get “hair sets” at Kabukicho hair salons (which cater to hostesses and gyaru). If you’re connected, prices are as low as $20 per style. The hairdressers use a ton of hairspray and are unbelievably fast-fingered — this up-do took less than 20 minutes.
Cyber Wa dress: Ozz On, from Closet Child.
Mary Jane shoes: Leche by Yosuke, from Marui One Shinjuku
Mistress Maya and I went to the party together. She’s hot in pink, and brought along a little riding crop to dole out punishment.
With the artist, Alice. A giant poster of her work hung outside the club.
She also designed my new landing page, found at www.lacarmina.com. Don’t you love how she drew my Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow?
I love the energy of her Japanese manga-style drawings, especially the girls’ flowing hair and sparkling eyes.
Alice is from Milan but currently based in Tokyo. She’s open to projects and commissions; contact her if you have ideas!
Perhaps you remember these illustrations inspired by Seba and La Carmina.
With the lovely ImagePlay DJs, and New Lex owner Masuda.
New Lex is always busy and filled with models. It’s one of the most exclusive clubs in Roppongi.
We had a crazy time in the VIP section… can’t tell you exactly what happened, but boy-blood was shed.
Have you ever gone clubbing in Roppongi? What do you think of my new blog banner and landing page graphic? You can see more of Alice’s artwork on her website.
PS: Thanks Zagat for naming my Death Cookbook goth cooking show one of the best on YouTube. And to Anime.com for reviewing my cookbook Cute Yummy Time.

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.
