La Carmina Blog Advertising
I run a popular Goth Japan lifestyle/fashion
blog (http://www.lacarmina.com/blog) that has led to two book deals (Penguin USA)
with a major city tour and a fashion line. My site has
been featured in major publications (The New Yorker, WWD, Washington Post, Time Out New York, LA Weekly, National Post). TV appearances include The Today Show and co-hosting an episode of Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre World for Travel Channel. I am featured in a 20 minute NHK Japan documentary and a Canal Plus documentary about Tokyo subcultures. All press clippings are found here.
