Hentai fetish parties in Japan, Department H, weird crazy parties in Tokyo, Japanese strange fetishes, events and club nights, Goth drag queens, S&M, flogging and domination, bondage shows, male submissive in corset, theatrical leopard makeup

First off, thank you for sharing your heartbreak stories in this post; my heart goes out to you! The lucky contest winner, chosen by a random number generator, is Fiona Rawrhhs. Congrats, you won a Goose Gown dress from Akina!

I have so much exciting blog coverage for you coming up… we’ll progress chronologically, so first, I’ll round up the Tokyo TV shoot with Andrew Zimmern. I also have new store photos for you. Then I’ll post pics from my USA book tour and Halloween. Finally, we’ll ring in 2010 in Tokyo and Hong Kong. What a year it’s been!

After the bloody feast at Alcatraz ER theme restaurant, Andrew Zimmern and the crew were exhausted. Understandable, since they spent the past week living in Mongolian gerts. But the spooks were eager to rage, so one TV camera followed us to Department H, a drag/fetish/creative/AWESOME all-night party.

I love Mihoko’s shiro Lolita/aristocrat ensemble with classy gold jewelry and a faux fur shrug. Lady Raisu is wearing 4-inch heels and a silver rubber gown from London. Hungry Ghost is a leopard today; he painted the spots on by hand.

Mistress Maya got this clear zippered corset from the band Spanking Machine, who performed the previous week at Midnight Mess. Maya removed most of her clothes before going inside!

The partygoers came from every alt/fetish/creative disposition imaginable. Among the most striking: dollers, or people who wear full anime masks and body suits (above). You’ll see more mind-blowing photos in the next few days…

With all the genitalia hanging out at the party, I wonder how much of the footage will make it onto your TV screen. What will you probably NOT see? The impromptu S&M performance we did with Comte de Sang — dragging him by his collar, scratching his back raw, kicking him in the ribs and sticking a stiletto heel down his throat until he lay on the floor gasping in ecstasy…

What will you be doing for Halloween this year? I’m celebrating for FIVE days straight and it feels so right…

Song of the Day #220: Kaela Kimura – Jasper (Ronan and I love this song so much. It sounds incredibly fresh and morphs into… techno? Amazing!)

FAIRY KEI HARAJUKU STORE: SBY HAPPY ROOM. CUTE BUNNY PURSES, 1980S SCRUNCHIES, BIG SEQUIN HAIR BOWS.

Posted by La Carmina on October 16, 2009

Fairy kei shopping, stores in Harajuku Tokyo Japan, SBY Happy Room, cute 1980s pastel tutus, bunny rabbit plush toys, kawaii cute fairy fashion, 6% dokidoki, pink retro 80s Japanese fashion for girls, My Little Pony, Jem and Holograms fashion style

Let’s take a quick break from the Andrew Zimmern coverage for some Fairy Kei shopping in Harajuku. SBY Happy Room is on one of the Takeshita Doori side streets (see my Gothic Lolita Punk store guide for more.) With a name like that, how could anyone resist going in?

I have a few of these hair scrunchies. They remind me of my pastel-happy 1980s childhood. Don’t the bunnies look like they’re saying “Durr durr durrr?”
