LIMEBARB CUTE JAPANESE COSPLAY CORSET, BUNNY EARS KAWAII HAT. SPIDER PRINT ARM WARMERS, CNNGO ARTICLE ON UNCONVENTIONAL ASIA TOUR GROUPS.
Cosplay clothing purveyor Limebarb sent me the cutest hat and corset in existence. The pink anime girl corset features a print of a Japanese girl. And the white bunny hat with plaid accents needs no description… kawaii!
Stockings supplier Sock Dreams gifted the sheer spiderweb arm warmers. They’ll go perfectly with so many of my Goth dresses… can’t wait to coordinate them with other items in my wardrobe.
I’m selling this long black skirt and other cute items in my Online Garage Sale — click to shop. I’ve listed dozens of designer Japanese and Hong Kong clothes for a fraction of the price. The Fendi purse is also still for sale.
My latest CNNGo article is about 11 alternative Asia tours such as unicycling, anime Gothic Lolita tour groups, Mumbai slums, ninjas and more. Exciting news — it is currently on the front of CNN’s Travel page!
Which countries would you most like to visit? There are so many parts of Asia I’ve yet to explore…

ANDREW ZIMMERN BIZARRE FOODS: NEW EPISODES SNEAK PEEK! TRAVEL CHANNEL FOOD HOST IN TOKYO, TV SHOW PREMIERES APRIL 26.
Travel Channel has posted a “teaser reel” for the new season of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. And look who’s in it for a second: La Carmina and Mistress Maya! We’re locked in a cell at the horror-jail theme restaurant Alcatraz ER. The wonderfully intrepid Zimmern drinks red slush from the mannequin’s head and exclaims… “That’s good!”
Don’t blink or you’ll miss our appearance at 0:05 in the video above and on YouTube. Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern premieres Monday, April 26 at 10 E/P on Travel Channel. I believe the Tokyo episode will the fourth in the series — will keep you updated! For more photos and stories of the Tokyo TV shoot, please check out this blog post and my book, Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo.
I also filmed a cute food demo (above) at Penguin Books’ headquarters in NYC. It was great fun to work with the creative team, who built a backdrop using photos from my book. If you’re hungry for adorably-decorated recipes inspired by the Japanese bento decoration trend, please consider my cookbook Cute Yummy Time.
Finally, Death Ray Weekly interviewed me. My personal opinion of Mana-Sama? “Inspiring, enigmatic… DIX love!”
