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.)

TOKYO, JAPAN GOTH ALTERNATIVE FETISH CLUBS, NIGHTLIFE, EVENTS. TOKYO DECADANCE BAR, MIDNIGHT MESS DANCE PARTY.
Hello Tokyo, Japan! Spookyville is back in black. And we’ve made a frightening new video about our nightcrawl to Decadance Bar and Midnight Mess. Scroll down to witness the Gothic madness…
Yukiro Dravarious has gotten ghostlier than ever. La Carmina wears:
Bone necklace: My new favorite. From the Monomania shop in Laforet Harajuku.
Panda skirt: Got it for a steal at Kinji, the secondhand store in Harajuku (shop photos to come).
Lace top and tank: Old things
Blue shoes: from the B+ab store in Hong Kong.
Hair bows: gifted from Sproos Shop (more photos here)
Our first stop: Tokyo Decadance Bar. We ran into Kanae downstairs at Christon Cafe, the cathedral-themed restaurant. Love her military fashion show.
Two Gothic Lolita-like girls sat at the entrance of Decabar, indulging in cake! (I like how they put their personal spin on Lolita fashion.)
Drinking absinthe while being zapped with neon lights.
Tokyo Decadance Bar has a new design, highligting the colorful flyers and cybergoth fashion. (More photos of the bar in this post.)
An evil, leering face painted on the wall. (I think it’s supposed to be bartender Kengo.)
And in the glass case: a kigirumi head. (From a full-body anime doll costume.)
Time to dance all night at Midnight Mess. We met up with Gothic beauties Kana, Cotton Bale, Raisu.
While waiting for the doors to open, we filmed a funny video — please watch it here! (You can also see footage from Kenzo-A’s Rituals party.)
There’s nothing like the streets of Tokyo at night.
Kenny Creation and a blue-haired lass.
Lovely to see Selia again.
On stage, she turns into a nightingale, singing opera in multiple languages. (You can see a snippet here.)
Mistress Maya, who runs this dark event, ties up a new victim and drips hot candle wax over her body.
Don’t you wish you could join our nightcrawl? You can see the action up-close in the video above and on YouTube (please subscribe).
Where are these Tokyo Goth Industrial clubs? How do you get in? For full info, including addresses and maps, please read my Club Guide.
Are you happy to see that Tokyo’s Gothic scene is thriving? What do you think of the outfits; which are your favorites?
PS: Congrats to Seba’s band DNR: they’re playing at V-ROCK (largest Visual Kei music fest) in Tokyo, along with Gackt, Versailles, Vivid, Sophia, Mix Speakers Inc, Black Veil Brides and more Jrock greats!
Song of the Day: The Gothic dance track in the party video (can anyone recognize it?)
