HALLOWEEN GOTHIC MAKEUP, TUTORIAL VIDEO: SUGARPILL COSMETICS, EVIL QUEEN SATANIC JAPANESE BEAUTY TECHNIQUES!
Oh sweet Satan! Another day, another juicy piece of news: I’ve been invited by YouTube to join their Partners program. Thank you to everyone for watching my videos and commenting — this wouldn’t have been possible without you! As a Partner, I’ll have more leeway with my channel, and I’m determined to step it up. So you can expect many more “top quality” videos on my YouTube channel from now on (please subscribe so you won’t miss them!)
Let’s kick things off with the third installment of the Evil Queen makeup series. Our new video, filmed in Tokyo on All Hallow’s Eve, is our most Satanic one yet.
Muahah, your favorite Evil Queen Bitches are back! La Carmina and Yukiro Dravarious come up with the genius idea of ordering “room service.” Using Shrinkle’s Sugarpill Cosmetics eyeshadows, they transform an innocent maid (Naomi) into the spawn of SaTaN!
We hope you enjoy the skimpy Goth Nun costume, pirate rum, scary friends and the torturing of our new minion, G-suS.
See the devilish deeds above and on my YouTube. If you fell over laughing, please subscribe to my channel. More video adventures to come!
As you may know from my Twitter, life has been very good to me lately. Super hectic and filled with exciting projects. I have a new major writing job (or two!), travel gigs and TV things in the works… and something big planned for 2011 (I think it will surprise you). Can’t wait to finalize the details and tell you all.
I’m very lucky to have such great friends around me… keep raising hell, spooky kids! Thanks for being there. We’ve built up quite a Halloweentown, haven’t we?
If you missed the previous Evil Queen Goth makeup tutorials, here are links to the first and second videos.
What were your favorite evil moments and quotes? What type of videos would you like to see next? We’ll shoot some in LA…
“You’ve obviously been feasting on the flesh of young virgin emo boys!”
Japanese Word of the Day: Genchi = Site, location
Song of the Day: The music of our evil laughter.

A funny story… Andrew Zimmern’s friend asked me to recommend a nice sushi restaurant. But I’ve never eaten fancy fish in Tokyo! My friends and I go to high-quality but low-priced conveyor belt parlors like Hibari in Kabuku-cho. Every plate is only 130 yen, but when we took the Norway TV crew there, they admitted the raw salmon is better here than at Nobu. (More photos from Hibari in this blog post.)
A few of our friends recommended Rock Inn Current, a hard rock / heavy metal themed bar on the west side of Seibu Shinjuku Station (on the other side of Club Marz). Here, the bartenders headbang to the music and make the devil horns sign. Our kind of people.
Rock Inn Current often has live performances; the walls are covered in hair metal posters, and there’s always something shreddy blasting from the speakers. It reminded us of Fu-ki’s Bar Midian in Osaka.
After, we walked to Christon Cafe Shinjuku to visit our cyber-fab friends at Decadance Bar. Porco poured us absinthe, and Adrien le Danois cooked up delicious food.
What (or who) do you think G-suS and Yukiro are gossiping about?
Do you like to visit different theme bars, like we do? Which are your favorites? We’re always drawn to Visual Kei, metal and alternative drinking holes.
Thanks to ENVI Shoes for featuring me today in a Blogger Love interview (I’m currently on their front page). I talk about wanting to wear glitter-ball, fire-breathing, seven-inch KISS boots. What haven’t I done yet that I still want to do? You can find out in my interview here and after the jump.
Japanese Word of the Day: Suneru = To be sulky, in a bad mood
Song of the Day: Welle:Erdbal – Telephon W-48 OT (Chosen by G-suS. Soon, you’ll see us torture our new minion in an Evil Queen makeup fake-up video!)
