Let’s play Where’s Waldo. Can you spot the absinthe? Epicurean Bible? Cyber-gender-bending? Welcome to the Seileen CD release party at Decadance Bar, right above Christon Cafe Shinjuku.

I introduced the Australian crew to DJ SiSEN and Selia, and interviewed them for the travel TV show. The Aussies wanted to get Gothed up, so we drew crucifixes on their faces.

Here’s Tatsu of Gastunk and The Killing Red Addiction, with Mistress Maya (who DJ-ed a tremendous set that night). Do you like SiSEN’s new makeup? I’m envious of how much he can cinch his corset.

Adrien le Danois (organizer of the Tokyo Decadance party) and bartender Porco Porter (who you may recognize in white as Kengo).

Arr, I spot me pirates! The TV cameras captured Selia’s opera, which is like a flying dream.

There’s always a wide range of fashion at Decadance Bar: Gothic Lolita, Wa (Japan) meets Eyes Wide Shut, Kigurumi. I’m in a maid outfit because we were shooting since morning (at the Cosplay Festival).

My adorable friends Kenny Creation and Sophia, the new vocalist of Osaka metal-electro-industrial band Blood Stain Child.

Maya has seen absolutely everything… but I don’t think she’s ever been interviewed by Pikachu and Keroro!

Sweet Decora girls and sweet baby G-suS.

When it comes to fashion, there are no rules here — and that’s my kind of party. For more Decadance Bar info and photos from theme nights, please read this post.

Would you feel at home at an event like this? Thoughts on the eclecticism of Japanese underground fashion?
