HALLOWEEN GOTHIC MAKEUP, TUTORIAL VIDEO: SUGARPILL COSMETICS, EVIL QUEEN SATANIC JAPANESE BEAUTY TECHNIQUES!
Oh sweet Satan! Another day, another juicy piece of news: I’ve been invited by YouTube to join their Partners program. Thank you to everyone for watching my videos and commenting — this wouldn’t have been possible without you! As a Partner, I’ll have more leeway with my channel, and I’m determined to step it up. So you can expect many more “top quality” videos on my YouTube channel from now on (please subscribe so you won’t miss them!)
Let’s kick things off with the third installment of the Evil Queen makeup series. Our new video, filmed in Tokyo on All Hallow’s Eve, is our most Satanic one yet.
Muahah, your favorite Evil Queen Bitches are back! La Carmina and Yukiro Dravarious come up with the genius idea of ordering “room service.” Using Shrinkle’s Sugarpill Cosmetics eyeshadows, they transform an innocent maid (Naomi) into the spawn of SaTaN!
We hope you enjoy the skimpy Goth Nun costume, pirate rum, scary friends and the torturing of our new minion, G-suS.
See the devilish deeds above and on my YouTube. If you fell over laughing, please subscribe to my channel. More video adventures to come!
As you may know from my Twitter, life has been very good to me lately. Super hectic and filled with exciting projects. I have a new major writing job (or two!), travel gigs and TV things in the works… and something big planned for 2011 (I think it will surprise you). Can’t wait to finalize the details and tell you all.
I’m very lucky to have such great friends around me… keep raising hell, spooky kids! Thanks for being there. We’ve built up quite a Halloweentown, haven’t we?
If you missed the previous Evil Queen Goth makeup tutorials, here are links to the first and second videos.
What were your favorite evil moments and quotes? What type of videos would you like to see next? We’ll shoot some in LA…
“You’ve obviously been feasting on the flesh of young virgin emo boys!”
Japanese Word of the Day: Genchi = Site, location

CUTE ANIME GIRL DRAWINGS, ALICE & THE CAT. BLACK PEACE NOW & YOSUKE SHOES: OPA OSAKA, EGA ELEGANT GOTHIC LOLITA & ARISTOCRAT BOYS FASHION.
Looky-loo: it’s La Carmina and Sebastiano Serafini!
These cute manga/anime-style drawings are by Alice and the Cat, a talented designer and illustrator — born in Milan and living in Tokyo. Her kawaii illustrations have been exhibited at Tokyo Design Festa, the huge art event I reported on in 2008 and in 2010. (Do check out these posts if you missed them; Yukiro is shirtless in this one.)
Seba and I are quite the team, ne? We’re working hard, and soon we’ll share our wild collaborations with you! And you can look forward to our Hollywood invasion (Dec 28 to Jan 10). (There’s a new Seba in America category for this special series.)
Before we jet to not-so-sunny LA, let’s finish up our dark fashion tour of Osaka, Japan. Shopping for Goth/alt clothing is more difficult in Shinsaibashi than in Harajuku, since the stores are spread out (rather than concentrated in Laforet and Takeshita-doori). In the 2F basement of OPA, there’s a boutique for Yosuke shoes. I love this brand. Inexpensive, stylish, and never falls apart.
Next door: Black Peace Now. One of my favorite brands for men’s Elegant Gothic Aristocrat fashion.
Peace Now is brighter and cuter, while still retaining some dark elements.
The eye-patch wearing teddy bears and bunnies remind me of the Pirate Basil logo that Naomi made for our coolhunting and TV hosting company.
You can locate these shops and more on my Osaka shopping map. I’ll compile my Shinsaibashi Gothic Lolita Punk store reports soon.
What do you think of Alice and the Cat’s illustrations? Don’t they look like me and Seba? Do you have any favorite kawaii manga / anime artists? (My blog’s banner is by reader Angela Che.)
