TORTURE GARDEN JAPAN: HALLOWEEN FETISH BDSM CLUB PARTY, AKASAKA EREBOS TOKYO. KIGURUMI & SEXY JAPANESE GIRLS IN LEATHER.
Twas the night before Halloween and all through the land / Spooky kids were gathering at Torture Garden Japan. Here’s what I wore for the most important occasion of the year…
Goth Nun outfit: Habitualized costume, gifted from Lip Service. Appropriately skimpy!
White fishnets: gifted from We Love Colors
Black and white shoes: John Fluevog
A dramatic night of dramatic poses. Yukiro dressed in “classic Dravarious,” while First Mate Naomi was a French maid.
In our universe, every day is Halloween. Our outfits always cause a stir when we’re riding on the subway.
Yukiro’s maniacal laughter resounded through the underground passages.
Atsushi wears “the mark of Satan” all over his face. He co-stars in our upcoming Evil Queen makeup video, which will be posted soon… (You’ll laugh so hard at our antics!)
Outside the club (Akasaka Erebos) we ran into Maria. I love the buttons down the outer sleeve of her elegant Gothic top.
Designer Kenzo also wore a dangerous spiky collar.
Kenzo is wearing his brand, Rituals. You’ll recall that I interviewed him for CNN TV.
Six of us got into Torture Garden for free — a new clubbing record.
The fashion inside was very varied. Latex, vinyl, Gothic…
Fairy kei, cyber decora, Victorian burlesque…
There were whips, masks and other instruments of pain for sale.
You’ll always run into kigurumi at fetish parties such as Department H. I find them delightful, though the half-realistic masks (left) are slightly chilling. Someone was inside this blow-up cow, shaking his plastic hooves to the music.
“There was a lot of riff-raff downstairs”. The music was pretty good upstairs (80s, neo-disco, electro).
Orange Halloween hair. The pair on the right was covered in eyeballs and had giant spiders in their hair.
A masked slave, metal chain leashed around his neck, begged for abuse from passersby. In the back, there was “libido” area where senses were aroused by volunteers in leopard suits…
Overall, a satisfactory nightcrawl! What did you do for All Hallow’s Eve? How did you dress up? More Halloween adventures coming right up…

CUTEST CAT EVER: SCOTTISH FOLD MUNCHKIN VIDEO! CUTEST CATS IN THE WORLD.
Hope your Halloween was “as good for you as it was for me!” I’ll have full coverage of the Tokyo horror that went down… including a Hangry & Angry fashion show, interview with designer Gashicon, tour of the new h.NAOTO store, Torture Garden fetish party, and Candy Spooky Theater x SaTaN concert videos.
But first… a new video featuring the cutest cat in the world, my Scottish Fold baby Basil Farrow! In this new compilation of clips, the fat fold-eared yellow cat bats his mouse toy, hides in a box and cat cube, ignores a hamster robot and rolls around upside-down, furry tummy in the air. Don’t you wish you could snuggle him?
The video is above and here. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you won’t miss the upcoming Evil Queen makeup tutorial, featuring G-suS as a minion!
For a daily cat cuteness fix, you can see more Basil Farrow on his blog and Facebook.
Kiwamu has some great news to share with you… his label, Starwave Records, is taking part in a Japanese underground compilation CD that aims to revive the Visual Kei scene and push it forward. Alamode Magazine CD Vol.01 will be on sale here on December 1, with a release party on November 14 at Ikebukuro Live Inn Rosa (full info here.)
Finally, Non Solo Kawaii (an Italian blog about Japanese cute culture) interviewed me about my work. You can read it in English and Italiano here and after the jump.
I hope Basil Farrow’s video makes you smile. I’m very happy — I think this was my best Halloween week yet! How did you celebrate? Did you dress up?
