Our local Goth guide, Key, took us to Mystica in Alexanderplatz. This location is about to move, so check the website for the new address (there are two stores).

A Steampunk jacket. The quality isn’t always tops, but prices are reasonable.

In any case, Berlin is not the place to buy Lolita dresses or Japanese Gothic/Visual wear. Here, you should go for old-school and deathrock clothing, such as these skeleton jackets.

Partying with DJ SiSEn in Berlin! Best Germany Goth alternative clubs, music, nightlife. Go With Oh Europe rental apartment.

Shooting with Discovery Channel’s Oddities in NYC today! But for now, let’s go back in time… to my naughty Berlin adventures with Yukiro Dravarious.

We stayed in a marvelous Go With Oh rental apartment, which you can book via their Oh Berlin site. Purple is Yukiro’s favorite color, so this was an easy choice.

Since we have many friends in Berlin, including dear Gsus, we were glad to welcome them in our arty flat.

We loved the modern art all over the walls. There was a full kitchen, and a welcome bottle of wine.

The apartment was centrally located in Charlottenburg, an artistic and upscale district.

Literally hours after we got off the plane, we were out on a nightcrawl. The 0.80 Euro beer was unpleasant…

To our delight, we found absinthe in many of the bars we visited.

The Japanese underground community congregates at Anko-kai, a regular event at Club der Polnischen Versager (Ackerstraße 170, Berlin). DJ Sisen, who moved to Berlin from Tokyo, rocks a PVC jumpsuit and buffalo horns.

Organizer Nobu (the pantless one) performed a twisting, modern dance.

The spirit of Harajuku, in Berlin.

The dress is Bros Products dress (Hong Kong) and the jacket is Lip Service, both gifts.

Coming up: Berlin fetish weekend, a horror bar and a guide to the best Goth shops.

Wearing Angelica Brigade hair flowers, and the winning tshirt design by Joanna.

Thanks to apartment rental site Go With Oh for making this Berlin underground coverage possible.
