TORTURE GARDEN JAPAN: HALLOWEEN FETISH BDSM CLUB PARTY, AKASAKA EREBOS TOKYO. KIGURUMI & SEXY JAPANESE GIRLS IN LEATHER.
Twas the night before Halloween and all through the land / Spooky kids were gathering at Torture Garden Japan. Here’s what I wore for the most important occasion of the year…
Goth Nun outfit: Habitualized costume, gifted from Lip Service. Appropriately skimpy!
White fishnets: gifted from We Love Colors
Black and white shoes: John Fluevog
A dramatic night of dramatic poses. Yukiro dressed in “classic Dravarious,” while First Mate Naomi was a French maid.
In our universe, every day is Halloween. Our outfits always cause a stir when we’re riding on the subway.
Yukiro’s maniacal laughter resounded through the underground passages.
Atsushi wears “the mark of Satan” all over his face. He co-stars in our upcoming Evil Queen makeup video, which will be posted soon… (You’ll laugh so hard at our antics!)
Outside the club (Akasaka Erebos) we ran into Maria. I love the buttons down the outer sleeve of her elegant Gothic top.
Designer Kenzo also wore a dangerous spiky collar.
Kenzo is wearing his brand, Rituals. You’ll recall that I interviewed him for CNN TV.
Six of us got into Torture Garden for free — a new clubbing record.
The fashion inside was very varied. Latex, vinyl, Gothic…
Fairy kei, cyber decora, Victorian burlesque…
There were whips, masks and other instruments of pain for sale.
You’ll always run into kigurumi at fetish parties such as Department H. I find them delightful, though the half-realistic masks (left) are slightly chilling. Someone was inside this blow-up cow, shaking his plastic hooves to the music.
“There was a lot of riff-raff downstairs”. The music was pretty good upstairs (80s, neo-disco, electro).
Orange Halloween hair. The pair on the right was covered in eyeballs and had giant spiders in their hair.
A masked slave, metal chain leashed around his neck, begged for abuse from passersby. In the back, there was “libido” area where senses were aroused by volunteers in leopard suits…
Overall, a satisfactory nightcrawl! What did you do for All Hallow’s Eve? How did you dress up? More Halloween adventures coming right up…

SEILEEN CD RELEASE PARTY AT DECADANCE BAR, CHRISTON CAFE. DJ SISEN, SELIA, ADRIEN OF TOKYO DECADANCE CLUB PARTY.
Let’s play Where’s Waldo. Can you spot the absinthe? Epicurean Bible? Cyber-gender-bending? Welcome to the Seileen CD release party at Decadance Bar, right above Christon Cafe Shinjuku.
I introduced the Australian crew to DJ SiSEN and Selia, and interviewed them for the travel TV show. The Aussies wanted to get Gothed up, so we drew crucifixes on their faces.
Here’s Tatsu of Gastunk and The Killing Red Addiction, with Mistress Maya (who DJ-ed a tremendous set that night). Do you like SiSEN’s new makeup? I’m envious of how much he can cinch his corset.
Adrien le Danois (organizer of the Tokyo Decadance party) and bartender Porco Porter (who you may recognize in white as Kengo).
Arr, I spot me pirates! The TV cameras captured Selia’s opera, which is like a flying dream.
There’s always a wide range of fashion at Decadance Bar: Gothic Lolita, Wa (Japan) meets Eyes Wide Shut, Kigurumi. I’m in a maid outfit because we were shooting since morning (at the Cosplay Festival).
My adorable friends Kenny Creation and Sophia, the new vocalist of Osaka metal-electro-industrial band Blood Stain Child.
Maya has seen absolutely everything… but I don’t think she’s ever been interviewed by Pikachu and Keroro!
Sweet Decora girls and sweet baby G-suS.
When it comes to fashion, there are no rules here — and that’s my kind of party. For more Decadance Bar info and photos from theme nights, please read this post.
Would you feel at home at an event like this? Thoughts on the eclecticism of Japanese underground fashion?
PS: I made it to the FINAL ROUND of the Canadian Weblog Awards! Can you please take 1 second to vote for La Carmina? The poll is here. Thank you — I really appreciate your support!
