Hunting for treasure in Tokyo?

What's your preferred attire? Ride 'em Cowboy? Original Gangster? Glamour puss? Member of the 80's Pop Band The Bangles? Sailor? Magician? Soldier? Trophy winning Athlete? Well, whatever you are, whether it's weird or wonderful or both, I personally guarantee you will find something that tickles you in your fancy dress at Nude Trump!

Hey! Why don't you get yourself a snazzy outfit and go out dancing with all of the other fun looking people at one of Nude Trump's owner's bars in Shibuya? Upstairs is Trump Room (it's dark and red with taxidermy and about 500 beautiful chandeliers) and the other is Trump House (with gold and silver padded walls!). Find your way there half way down this page.
Me and my love Omar at Trump House. Not a very good picture of the bar but you can see how cool it makes you look (besides the smoking- that's not cool).

Hug Me! Love Me! Spank Me!





I've been home in New Zealand for over a year now after living in Harajuku in Tokyo for a year. Now I'm really starting to get nostalgic for some of that inspiring Japanese creativity. So, to make myself feel better, I'm going to highlight some of my favourite pieces of Japan's snazzy style.

The girl above is Tavuchi. She owns one of the cutest vintage clothes stores in Tokyo, called Spank Me! I used to visit her store weekly and accumulated neon vintage dresses, handpainted vests, tight high waisted leopard print jean shorts and many vintage 80's t shirts. If you're a girly girl who's into the 80's (like me) and visiting Tokyo, you should pop in. It's in Shibuya, get address here. I found the above pictures on LOOKBOOK.nu. Write a love letter home from Ice Cream Town!
