Look what the cat dragged in… I found more photos from Okadaya, the infamous fabric and trimmings store in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

The wall of rainbow boas reminds of of the bus in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. (A must-see film. I hope I can catch the musical in NYC.)

There was a demo station for super-duper hairspray, which creates tall Visual Kei spikes. Aion would be proud…

The makeup floor has posters of Visual inspiration.

I haven’t tried this brand of neon hair dye, but if it’s Visual Kei approved, it can’t be bad right?

I’m tempted to roll around on the floor in Okadaya, laughing maniacally.

Are you a crafty DIY person? Have you sewn or made accessories lately? If so, what?

    Oh my god. I want to just fly to Japan for this store!! Well… There are other things I’d like to go to as well. (*coughconcertsclothingstoresizakayascafes)
    And I make things if I can and if it’s cheaper. I’ve made cosplays, sketchbooks, a wig, hair falls, etc.
    Right now, I’m designing a line to sell on Etsy. If you’d like I can send sketches~ XD

    I am currently making a skirt, and the one I just finished was a suit on which I added stars: http://rockingdollmuseum.blogspot.com/2010/12/starry-suit-semi-results.html

    They’re all under the DIY tag!

    Just keep on doing what you do LaCarmina! Everytime I read your blog I’m more confident to go study Japanese next year <3. I could really need such stores and crazy life.

    If I can find some (fake)fur I'm planning to make a short jacket out of it and to remake this bum-pocket thing http://www.peacenow.net/commodity/201011/mens/photo/003/006.jpg with lots of shiny zippers!

    Yes, on the fact, making clothes is my full time job, hi hi… anything out of the common, on clothes, bijoux, accesories… by the way, I love to take a look to this blog from time to time to see the Japanese fashions.

    I love the boas!
    Right now I’m knitting a scarf for my girlfriend, but the things I’m most proud of having upcycled are a “Go vegetarian t-shirt” and a black mini-dress with the pride flag on the side.

    And I’d totally go for the orange and black eyelashes!
