Naomi and I want to thank you for supporting La Carmina & The Pirates! Twenty-four hours after unveiling our coolhunter / Japanese TV fixer (hosting and arranging business), Naomi and I already have a new offer… I’ll soon post photos from our Tokyo travel TV shoots with Pepsi and Sony, which will give you a better idea of how we work and what we do.

Speaking of scurvy sea dogs: let’s celebrate with a generous pirate jewelry giveaway from Ghostlove.

Ghostlove has hand-crafted nine collections of dark, beautiful jewelry and accessories, specializing in Couture Noir, Gothic Lolita, Neo-Victorian and Steampunk. I fell in love with everything on the website — but especially these gold treasures from the Pirate collection.

Black high-waisted dress: Westmend, a Chinese Lolita brand
Polonova velvet gloves: gifted from Sock Dreams
Gold splash metallic thigh highs: gifted from We Love Colors

I’m wearing Ghostlove’s A Mighty Ship, an intricately detailed steampunk schooner with a dangling anchor. I can’t wait to accessorize my next outfit with the Ghost of the Kraken antiqued brass octopus brooch, nautical charms dangling from his tentacles. (Thank you to Ghostlove for these beauties, as well as the cute cat toys for Basil Farrow!)

Makeup: 100 yen ($1) fake eyelashes on the bottom lids and Daiso flower gems. I outlined my lips with OhMyGoth! smudgeliner and filled them with Adrenaline red lipstick, both gifted by Annabelle Cosmetics.

Above are close-ups of my makeup. The light pink eyeshadow is gifted from Shrinkle’s Sugarpill Makeup.
Manicure: I painted the tip of each nail red, added a white stripe, and filled the base with black (using Daiso $1 nail art polish).

And behold the Jolly Roger necklace Ghostlove created for me (they accept custom orders). Guess what — the designer made not one, but two identical copies. One of them is for you to win… so we can be like sisters; the only two people on the planet with this glorious pirate gold!

    Ok now that is some nice jewelry! I like it! The make-up is wonderful as usual. Which reminds me… did you decide yet on what you’re going to be for Halloween? How about Basil? Keeping it a surprise/secret? Because I sure can’t wait to hear!

    Now as for promoting your new business…I have liked your site on “stumbleupon”, digged the site on Digg, and voted for the site on Boing Boing.

    Now I wrote up something that hopefully will attract attention. I put this in the travel section of 2 Japanese forums which seem to be the most popular.

    http://www.jref.com/forum/showthread.php?p=673830#post673830

    I hope they’re ok. I couldn’t put in links since it was my first post haha ^_^. Oh and I’m not sure if it was right to put the “TM” symbol over the “La Carmina and the Pirates” thing…you’re the one who knows law, not me haha!

    Oh by the way…I always love astrology and stuff. I noticed from the picture that your ring finger is bigger than your index finger (or at least it seems that way). If it’s true…it’s a sign to show you’re very creative. If it isn’t bigger…you’re still creative anyway haha!

    Oh and another thing you have pretty small hands and fingers in general…that’s a sign that shows your friendly. And if you believe you don’t have small hands or fingers at all – well you’re still friendly lol.

    Again I just kind enjoy kind of noticing how palms, hands, moles, and our zodiac signs usually have an influence or at least correspond with our behavior and personality.

    Take care! Best of luck again!

      Oh interesting… my ring finger isn’t actually longer than the index; it must be the photo angle. I do have small hands and long fingers though – my mother always said they were good for piano playing. Ha maybe that was her excuse for getting me to practice.

    Hi La Carmina, I’m going to write a blog entry on “La Carmina and the Pirates”, and I was wondering if it would be ok for me to post a picture of the logo within it?
    I’ll probably send a few questions to the “contact us” link later one to.

    Hello doll!

    I voted you up on BoingBoing. I liked you on StumbleUpon, here, and facebook. And shared you on myspace, facebook, and twitter with links to this page on myspace and facebook, and a link to the site on twitter.

    Also, a mini interview for you:

    PixiStix: Today we’re talking to world-famous entrepreneur LaCarmina. She’s beautiful and multi-talented. Not only has she written 3 books (and gotten them published!), but she’s also a journalist for CNN, a blogger, fashion and food designer, and a cherished Gothic Lolita icon! LaCarmina, how did you get started in the world of Lolita fashion?
    LaCarmina:

    PixiStix: And what do you like best about Lolita fashion? If you can choose a favorite part. lol. It’s difficult for me to choose.
    LaCarmina:

    PixiStix: What are some past times you like to do, either alone or with others?
    LaCarmina:

    PixiStix: How about bands? What are some of your favorites?
    LaCarmina:

    PixiStix: OK, final question; If you could give one piece of advice to people like me, wanting to make it big in the world but not knowing where to start, what would that advice be?
    LaCarmina:

    PixiStix: Thank you for all the time that you devote to your fans. I can’t wait to check out all the new things that come from LaCarmina and the Pirates!

      Here you go – thanks so much!! It would be great if you could link to my site and Pirates site. xoxo

      PixiStix: Today we’re talking to world-famous entrepreneur La Carmina. (https://www.lacarmina.com/) She’s beautiful and multi-talented. Not only has she written 3 books (and gotten them published!), but she’s also a journalist for CNN, a blogger, fashion and food designer, and a cherished Gothic Lolita icon! La Carmina, how did you get started in the world of Lolita fashion?

      La Carmina: In the late 1990s, I began noticing girls in beautiful Lolita dresses during my travels in Tokyo. It was like glimpsing the White Rabbit – I had to find out more! Over the next few years, I learned more about Gothic Lolita clothing brands and Visual Kei music, and I’m still hooked today.

      PixiStix: And what do you like best about Lolita fashion? If you can choose a favorite part. lol. It’s difficult for me to choose.

      La Carmina: For me, the fashion is transformative. By wearing the clothing, you can become a French aristocrat; your life can be a Rococo dream world…

      PixiStix: What are some past times you like to do, either alone or with others?

      La Carmina: I require my “nightcrawling” fix – visiting Goth, Industrial, Cyber night clubs. I also love to watch Japanese horror films, visit bizarre restaurants and underground events (such as a Steampunk festival). And my Scottish Fold cat, Basil Farrow, requires a great deal of cuddling. https://lacarmina.com/basilfarrow

      PixiStix: How about bands? What are some of your favorites?

      La Carmina: GPKISM, Malice Mizer, Versailles, X Japan, Candy Spooky Theater, Aural Vampire… heart Visual Kei glam.

      PixiStix: OK, final question; If you could give one piece of advice to people like me, wanting to make it big in the world but not knowing where to start, what would that advice be?

      La Carmina: Get out there, try your hand at a number of different things and meet people. The more knowledge and experience you pick up, the better equipped you will be to soar. And don’t worry too much about what path to pursue; technologies and trends change constantly. When a door opens, have the courage to jump in go for it!

      PixiStix: Thank you for all the time that you devote to your fans. I can’t wait to check out all the new things that come from La Carmina and the Pirates! https://www.lacarmina.com/pirates/
