La Carmina en Espanol: new Spanish Tumblr! Circus Saturdays at Webster Hall NYC: alt nightlife party.
** UPDATE ** Watch La Carmina on THE DOCTORS TV show! Here are the clip and photos, about Japan bagelheads.
World domination continues, muahaha. La Carmina Blog is now available in Spanish!
My lovely friend Psique is translating parts of my site and creating special content, so that I can share my spooky world with Spanish readers. We invite you to add my Spanish Tumblr and look forward to your feedback. (PS: above is a peek at my new hair… the LA television shoot went very well, more info to come!)
¡Rayos y truenos! El escalofriante blog de La Carmina toma la delantera y abre las puertas de la oscuridad a sus lectores en America Latina: www.la-carmina.tumblr.com!
Recientemente he sido testigo del gran interés que el público hispanohablante ha demostrado por la cultura popular Japonesa, desde ser contactada para hablar sobre la moda Lolita y su impacto en los jóvenes Mexicanos, hasta mi aparición en revistas como: Escala y la Española BadSkin Magazine, sé que la expansión de este fantástico mundo va en la dirección correcta.
La fascinación de America Latina y otros países hispanohablantes por la alucinante moda de Harajuku es innegable, así que… ¿Porqué no compartir mis aventuras con todos ustedes?
A partir de ahora, desde las planicies Burtonianas con mucho amor, podrán encontrar mis post de ultra tumba completamente en Español.
Let’s to back to NYC for a minute. After shooting with Discovery TV’s “Oddities,” I partied hard at Circus, held Saturdays at Webster Hall NYC.
Jenny Knifefight wears h.NAOTO. La Carmina wears hair barrettes gifted by Kreepsville 666, Yosuke shoes from Marui One Shinjuku, and a dress from a long time ago in New York.
When I’m in NY, I always look forward to reuniting with DJ Jess Marquis — his 80s dance remixes are legendary. We went to the Circus Saturday event, where he’s a resident DJ.
Jess also spearheads the incredible Trash party at Webster Hall’s studio. (Remenber when Yukiro and I attended the anniversary bash?)
Things get naughty backstage… Cris works the pole.
What goes on behind the scenes? We see, speak, and hear no evil…
Circus lives up to its name. We ran into a glittery stilt-walker.
Fire dancers took the stage…
… followed by two aerial artists, soaring and twirling.
Girls in bikinis wielding smoke guns. Why not.
Raquel Reed dances up high on the ledge.
Around 3am, we ended up at Walgreens. No idea who the guy in the middle is. All in a night’s work!

Heading to LA to be a guest on a major TV show! Mongkok Hong Kong shopping, Rilakkuma & Miffy cute toys.
Shiver me timbers… I’ve confirmed a big TV appearance in Los Angeles! I can’t reveal details about it yet… but you’ll find out soon, and I’ll let you know when to tune in. (Update: I was a guest on CBS The Doctors! See La Carmina’s TV video and photos.)
Looking forward to catching up with LA friends, and pre-Halloween partying. Join me at the following events (click the links for full info):
✖ Friday, Oct 19 at Das Bunker: DB16 feat. Suicide Commando. Let’s dance!
✖ Saturday, Oct 20 at Pop tART Gallery: opening of HAPENIS, The Art of Franz Szony.
✖ Saturday, Oct 20 at Bar Sinister: I’m co-hosting the night with Amazing Race’s Kent Kaliber. Celebrating Black & Grey Magazine, and the wrap of LA Fashion Week. RSVP here and I’ll see you there.
I’m back from Hong Kong, and have tons of fun coverage for you. Team Spooky stopped by the Mongkok shopping center, Langham Place, to pose with Halloween displays. “Magician’s Liar?” I think they mean “Lair” …
Heidi and I got these bird-like white coats from my beloved I.T / Izzue store (they have various locations).
John Skeleton recently moved to Hong Kong, and we scouted out the hottest new bars and restaurants. Tons of food coverage coming up.
But first, some spooky-cute shopping. A Mongkok must is New Town Mall (65 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, near Exit D2 of Mong Kok MTR station). On the way, we found 666 Nathan Road.
New Town Mall is filled with small shops, many featuring Japanese clothes and goods. Rilakkuma fans would go crazy at this one.
Miffy addicts, this one’s for you. (Wait til I show you photos of the Miffy Causeway Bay store, which I cleaned out…)
Items are as cute as the ones in Japan, but much cheaper. In Hong Kong, you’ll pay half the price or less!
Princess House specializes in fairy kei and pastel Goth fashion.
Nail art is taking over the world.
At the Evil Lady store, each item is $5-15 US.
Have I sold you on Hong Kong yet? If you’re planning a trip, I recommend booking a local apartment from Wimdu, a secure rental site with rooms around the world. I stayed in the Jordan district, right across the street from Austin Station. It was fun to live “Hong Kong Style” — a small but cozy place, with powerful water pressure and AC, in the same building as local residents. The experience’s authentic, and prices are as low as $40 a night (that’s right!).
Thanks Wimdu — I enjoyed living in this colorful Kowloon neighborhood.
What do you think of Hong Kong’s cute and Goth shop selection? Join me at the LA parties (tell your friends) and stay tuned for updates on my TV appearance.
