FUEL TV, STRANGERS IN DANGER: JAPAN EPISODE. BMX CATFISH & ROOFTOP GET FOREHEAD SALINE INJECTIONS, DONUT HEADS.
I recently appeared on Strangers in Danger, a new travel-thrill program airing on Fuel TV, Discovery and National Geographic. We Pirates fixed (location-scouted and arranged) the Japan episode, and I’m on-screen as the subculture guide — a.k.a. “Hot Goth.”
You can see the video on my YouTube, but first, read on for astonishing photos!
Rooftop (Mike Escamilla) was a fan of my tiny sailor costume, gifted from Lip Service. (You may recognize him as Kat von D’s roommate on LA Ink.)
Goofing off with Catfish (Zach Yankush). Both of the guys are BMX (bicycle motorcross/extreme biking) stars and very chill in person.
In this segment, they took part in an extreme body modification. Since my Pirates company is well-connected with the Japanese underground, we were able to arrange this scene.
Extreme body mods include implants underneath the skin. One has a painful-looking “split” in a male body part that I dare not mention…
The guys got one of the most bizarre procedures: forehead inflation! A saline drip through a needle creates a bulge, and the center is pushed in to create a donut shape. Catfish also pumped up his lip, which made him look like a dolphin.
Watch the eerie process (featuring me) above and on YouTube.
The bulge lasts about 10 hours. You can see more photos of saline head inflation from my French TV show shoot.
I took Catfish and Rooftop to Decadance Bar, where they fit in among the space aliens.
Adrien le Danois feels the squishy donut.
Naomi, “I am Sebastian” and I fixed (arranged) the entire Japan episode of Strangers in Danger, which involved various crazy activities. The Tokyo drifting scene was a riot.
Drifters are an intriguing subculture as well.
They also learned Sumo fighting, and battled with the big guy.
Come see a wild clip of my scenes. Special shout-outs to Naomi and Sebastian for their incredible Pirate work on this mission.
Have you heard of donut-head inflation? What do you think of extreme body modifications such as this? Would you try?

JAPONISTA SOLE, NINJA JIKA TABI: JAPANESE SHOES & BOOTS WITH TOES! SAMURAI FOOTWEAR, GOTH CORSET, H.NAOTO.
Hi-yah! Japonista Sole let me play with their high cut ninja boots.
How adorable are the toes? The brand mixes contemporary street style with Japanese traditional design (think Lucy Liu in Kill Bill).
The strong, lightweight soles let you sneak around like a ninja. And if you need a disguise, pull down the top of the boots to reveal the Aloha print inside.
Goth dress: h.NAOTO Sixh, from Closet Child
Custom leather studded corset: from Bed Behavior in LA (Hollywood at Cahuenga)
Lace flower tights: old things
That’s not the only surprise from Japonista Sole. Look at what was inside the box!
Basil Farrow is mesmerized by the Japanese snacks used as packaging. (Aren’t his sideways-feet precious?)
“What shall I eat first?”
The shoes come in boxes printed with a colorful manifesto. My Scottish Fold decides to use one as a cheek-rest.
I matched my purple hair with purple eyeshadow, and drew tic-tac-toe nail art. The rock-star headband is actually a choker, a present from Sebastiano.
There are clasps along the side, which you can attach in various ways so the shoe always fits.
Japonista Sole has a variety of designs and colors, including these yellow ones that match my Little Prince shirt from Rome. You can see more on their website, which is chock full of street style photos and videos.
Would you wear ninja/samurai shoes? Got questions about my clothes, makeup or styling? I invite you to leave a comment; I try to reply to all.
