VERSAILLES JAPAN VISUAL KEI CONCERT, TOKYO JCB HALL, APRIL 2010. CUTE JAPANESE GOTHIC & SWEET LOLITAS, ELEGANT GOTH ARISTOCRAT BOYS, COSPLAYERS.
We are VERSAILLES! I first saw the aristocratic Visual Kei band perform in Shibuya in 2008, in the glorious purple days of Jasmine You. Yukiro has seen them multiple times, most recently at V-Rock (read his review here). But we can never get enough of Versailles Philharmonic Quintet… so we headed to Tokyo’s JCB Hall on April 30th for yet another live. (How cute is the Hizaki cosplayer?)
This, my friends, is why I had to buy a new camera (a Canon Powershot S9). The quality of my old Sony Cybershot has simply become unacceptable. You’ll have to wait a little longer for better pics of these new (used) clothes…
Lolita dress: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child Shinjuku
Lacy short cardigan: Moi-meme-Moitie, from Closet Child Shinjuku
Velvet Alice in Wonderland headband: Spank, from Marui One Shinjuku
Quality issues aside, I was able to get some decent shots of the beautifully dressed EGL and EGA fans outside the concert hall. The girl on the left is wearing nearly the same outfit as me!
Three typical Japanese hand poses: heavy metal, V-fingers, and cutely clutched in front.
This girl made the black veil with blue Mana-sama flowers herself. I adore the Lolita dress on the right.
Sweet meets spooky. Yukiro got a lot of attention and photo requests, as always.
What are your favorite Lolita styles? I’m personally not a fan of pink/Sweet, or black with white lace. But I love the bows and fabric on the middle girl. On the right: a young Versailles fanatic!
Coming up next… more photos and a hilarious video report that involves torturing a clueless Japanese boy, and footage from the Versailles concert itself. You know you want to see it!
Which outfits from the Versailles concert do you like best?
Japanese Word of the Day: Theme park = Yuenchi (learned this word today as we passed by Tokyo Dome)
Song of the Day: Vanished Empire – Ghost (video from DJ Chihiro’s Club Theatric show. Now off to his Gothic Bar Heaven all-night party with my spooky spooks…)

TOKYO EVIL QUEEN VIDEO! SUGARPILL MAKEUP TUTORIAL, FEATHERED EYELASHES, GOTH BLACK LIPSTICK & MINIONS.
We’ve yielded to your pleads… and created a SECOND Evil Queen makeup tutorial video! Muahahaha!
In the last episode, La Carmina was transformed into an Evil Queen by the Queen Bitch herself (Yukiro Dravarious). Now, the two witches capture a random victim from an elevator and each beautify half her face with Shrinkle’s Sugarpill eyeshadows and glitters.
Meanwhile, Japanese orgy “pron” blares in the background — serving as their Inspiration — and their Minion gets brutally punished for her incompetence…
Come watch the madness above and here. If you couldn’t stop laughing, please subscribe to my YouTube channel. More video adventures to come!
Everyone bow down to Geisha Queen Yukiro, master of Satanic makeup.
I did the left side of the random victim’s face; my partner did the other. It strangely works. Amazonian Cyber queen, maybe?
MINION! Kanae is single-handedly the most incompetent slave we’ve ever flushed down the toilet.
Gothic Lolita dress: Innocent World. Can’t believe I found it in Closet Child Harajuku.
Necklace: I found an old Heart of the Ocean Titanic pendant (remember those?) and strung it up.
Feathered eyelashes: Simply amazing; they match my orange hair. From Odakaya in Shinjuku.
Black lipstick: Lime Crime makeup
Glittery Goth crucifix stickers: We all wore one that night to Midnight Mess. From a Japanese dollar store.
What were your favorite moments in the scandalous video? Who made you laugh the most? You can also watch the first Evil Queen video here.
Japanese Word of the Day: Black magic = Kuromajutsu
Song of the Day: Gina M. – Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (The robot is not computer-generated, it’s a real actor in a robot costume made of plastic!)
LA CARMINA
