COSPLAYING AT EDELSTEIN SCHOOLBOY CAFE IN HARAJUKU: ANDREW ZIMMERN’S BIZARRE WORLD TRAVEL TV SHOW. SEXY JAPANESE SCHOOLGIRL!

We’ve reached the final location of the Bizarre World episode I co-hosted for Travel & Discovery Channel. The Tokyo spooks met us at Edelstein in Harajuku — a cafe where the waiters cosplay as awkward teenage schoolboys! (I wrote about this boarding school fantasy in my Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo book.)

As you’d expect, we all dressed up to match the school theme. Professor Fearstone (far right) applauds: “Well done, class. I am proud to say we beat the Saitama Grammar for backward children. You’re English is coming on in Beaps and Lounds!”

Host Andrew Zimmern drank rose tea and ate dainty cakes with this motley crew. He interviewed each of us about our fashion and lifestyle — and sincerely listened to what we had to say. A great guy. Perhaps I’ll meet up with Andrew again in December, as we’ll both be in Hong Kong.

Even if they’re fake, Carmina loves being surrounded by pretty young androgynes, yes she does…

It’s risky to be a Japanese schoolgirl. Yukiro almost got felt up in the subway while wearing this outfit. Then, Comte de Sang lifted his skirt as we went up the stairs… tsk.
Fantastic news: Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants will be distributed by Random House, starting in January! The book is available online now, but if you’re having difficulty getting it, the problem will soon be solved. (Also check back soon for a signed book giveaway.)
I’m on Day 3 of 5 of Halloween and couldn’t be happier. Please add me on Twitter to keep track of my dark thoughts, and I’ll try to add everyone back. Hope to see you at my NYC book signing on Oct 31 (info at the end of this post)!
PS: Wrote a CNNGo article about top 10 Asian new wave horror extreme movies! Do you agree with my picks? What’s your fav?
