** UPDATE ** The news media is going crazy, running stories about the supposed bagel head trend in Japan. This is NOT the full truth. Bagelheads are a specialized, temporary body modification only done on occasion, by a small group of body mod experts. See my detailed article about bagel-heads forehead inflation here.

My company, La Carmina & The Pirates, filmed several Tokyo bagelhead TV episodes, please contact us {gothiccarmina att gmail} if you have questions about it! I did an interview with The Japan Times to get the record straight.

The original post: Get your butter-knives ready… our National Geographic “Taboo” episode is airing next weekend! (Sunday, September 23 at 10pm ET on Nat Geo.)

Yukiro, Naomi and I were the Tokyo fixers for this episode, about bagel-head body modification (saline inflation of the forehead). John Skeleton is the victim, and our friends are the spectators. Watch the preview above and here.

Our company, La Carmina & The Pirates, helps TV shows with local production coordination, filming permits, translation and casting in Tokyo, Japan. View our previous work on our site (Food Network, Discovery). Don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of help.

New York Fashion Week just wrapped, and many of you asked what it’s like inside the tents. I skipped this season’s shows, but here’s a flashback to last February. For the Emilio Cavallini show, I wore… .

Yukiro’s multi-colored eyeshadows and purple fake lashes are masterful. Several of the hair flower accessories are gifted by Angelica Brigade (a clever way to simulate a flower crown-hat). Octopus and blue gem necklace is gifted by Kreepsville 666.

First, we stopped at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel press lounge.

You know we go gaga for free food! The baked goods and cappuccinos were of top quality.

Photographers descended upon us outside the Lincoln Center entrance.

Inside, we collected goody bags and took photos at the booth.

Time for the show. Florence-based Emilio Cavallini specializes in designer leggings, tights and bodywear. The presentation included a flirty video of a model trying on hosiery in her hotel room.

Then — in a unique twist — models came on stage in underwear, pulled on tights and bodysuits, and strutted around.

The stripes and patterns are striking. No wonder fun tights are a favorite accessory in Japanese street style.

The boudoir peek-a-boo was nice departure from the usual runway show.

Here are more NYFW 2012 blog posts. What fun we had.
