I know many of you miss my fire-engine red hair… so here are some photos from a modeling shoot last year, in Tokyo!

There’s only one place where you can get styled like this: a gyaru / hostess hair salon in Kabukicho.

You can flip through gyaru magazines like Ageha, and pick out the style you want. Not everyone can make an appointment at these salons, since they primarily serve hostesses. However, if a friend has a connection, you can squeeze in.

For only 2000 yen, you can have a stylized do like mine. It’s incredible how fast the hairdressers work, and the amount of hairspray used.

I did extreme makeup to match the hair, and have it stand out in the photos.

The ring and jewelry are gifted by Strange Freak, a Japanese brand closely associated with J-rock artists (they collaborated with Seba). The design is a tribute to Hide, the deceased guitarist of seminal Visual Kei band, X Japan.

We took over an alleyway in Shinjuku’s Golden Gai.

Prepping and goofing around with Sebastiano, between the shots.

He changed into a Hypercore t-shirt, and we mugged in front of the punk bar, Hair of the Dog.

Seba dropped my long Morticia Addams skirt in the puddle! He got yelled at for his bad behavior.

We’re fast at photoshoots. About an hour later, it was time to pack up and head home.

La Carmina with hostess gyaru hair — yay or nay? Aren’t Japanese hairstyles fascinating?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! TOKYO DECADANCE BAR, CHRISTON CAFE JAPAN: CHURCH THEMED RESTAURANT, CYBER GOTH RAVE BAR.

Posted by La Carmina on January 1, 2012

Happy Spooky New Year! How did you ring in 2012? I’m in northern Italy with Seba — lots of mulled red wine and delicious, cheesy foods.

In Tokyo, many of my friends did the countdown at Decadance Bar, a colorful drag Gothic hangout. Preta Porco’s cheery yellow face always makes me smile.

A few months ago, Adrien saluted the bartender-performer during “Porco night.”

But nobody does it better than Porco.

That’s Adrien again — he’s quite the shape-shifter. You’ll always find cyber-glam creatures of the night at Decabar.

These Lolitas look sweet, but they’re here to party hard.

Under the blue hair and glasses, there’s Yukiro.

A place for pirates and absinthe.

There’s always a cyber-Goth-electronic DJ on hand. During special events, live performers like Selia grace the stage.

What’s this pink thing?

Something to be straddled?

Outside the bar, there’s a quieter lounge area where you can touch up your devil makeup.

Fun with torture chairs.

To top it off, there are delicious dinner sets.

Come to Decadance Bar! It’s right above Christon Cafe, Oriental Wave Bldg 8F, 5-17-13 Shinjuku. Get off on the eigth floor, and walk up to the 9th. For more Tokyo alternative club recommendations, view my Nightcrawling guide.

I leave you with Arina and her deadly custom nails art.

Have you ever seen an underground bar quite like this?
