HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM CUTEST CAT IN THE WORLD, SCOTTISH FOLD BASIL FARROW. TORONTO GOTH FASHION & NIGHTCLUB GUIDE.
Happy Thanksgiving, spooky kids! I’m very grateful to have my baby bear, Basil Farrow, in my life. As you may know, I stole him from Mia Farrow while at her house for Thanksgiving, a little while back…
Will you be gathering with family today? Cooking up a storm? I have several adorable and healthy Thanksgiving recipes in my book, Cute Yummy Time. Such as pecan tarts that look like baby turkeys — kawaii!
No nose, no ears, no eyes… and now, no limbs or tail. There are more photos of my Scottish Fold cat on his blog and Facebook. And you can see him rolling around on the ground in his YouTube videos.
I can’t wait to show you the h.NAOTO collaboration: it’s looking better than I could have imagined. Very good things are afoot… get ready, pirates! The end of the year is going to rock.
Finally, my new Lip Service Global Gothic column is out. I interview Taeden, designer of Gloomth (the pirate Victorian clothing I’m wearing above) about Toronto Goth fashion, clubs and lifestyle. What do you think of her suggestions?

BLACK VEIL BRIDES INTERVIEW VIDEO: ANDY SIX, SEATTLE CONCERT TOUR 2010. BVB ARMY, VISUAL KEI JAPANESE ROCK.
A new day, a new video! La Carmina interviews Andy Six, vocalist of rock band Black Veil Brides, at Studio Seven in Seattle on November 20th. Includes live footage from the performance, stage-diving and songs such as Knives and Pens.
Since Black Veil Brides has a very Visual look, I asked Andy Six about whether he’s familiar with J-rock music and culture. Surprisingly, he “knows nothing” about it, but is eager to learn more. I also interviewed Andy about the band’s message of inclusiveness, and how he may hit you on the head with a water bottle.
Want to know where Andy got his clothes? Or what he thinks of BVB haters? Come see the video above and on YouTube.
Grey plaid Lolita dress with heart pockets: Angelic Pretty, from Closet Child Harajuku
Hair piece: I wrapped around a silver hearts ribbon, sparkly silver fabric from a dress, and two flower clips from a fabric store. The materials are about $3 total.
Black tights: Vivienne Westwood, a gift from my cousin
Knee high grey striped socks: Got these years ago
Makeup: Dramatic fake lashes and greyish purple eyeshadows gifted from Annabelle Cosmetics. (I’ll show you close-ups later.)
Great minds think alike… Rose and I have almost the exact same glossy black ankle boots. Mine are on the left: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child Harajuku.
Are you surprised that Black Veil Brides is not influenced by Japanese Visual Kei rock? Have you seen the band perform? What did you think?
Coming up next: videos and interviews The Birthday Massacre, Dommin and Aural Vampire. Be a doll and please subscribe to my YouTube to see the rest!
