Josie Stevens of E! Married to Rock, J Valentine sexy monster & unicorn Halloween costumes.
Hello, kitties! Are you ready for my Halloween costume extravaganza with designer Josie Stevens, star of E! Network’s “Married to Rock”?
We’re wearing costumes from her Josie Loves J. Valentine line, which includes club clothes, rave wear and bikinis.
Unicorn, monster, panda, teddy bear… these are some of the most imaginative outfits I’ve seen.
Josie adores Japanese street style, nail art, and Hello Kitty. You can see these influences in her designs.
Each is well-constructed with excellent materials (unlike most Halloween costumes), and comes with a number of pieces: gloves, hood, suit, leg warmers.
We posed in my beloved West Hollywood boutique hotel, The Orlando. My room had plenty of space and light for touch-ups.
All the photos are by Lisa Boyle, who is well-known for her edgy, eye-catching images.
Bouncing around the Orlando hotel gym. Josie and I connected because of our mutual interests in cute J-pop culture and fashion.
What better excuse to meet up and play?
Ribbon lollipops on the leg covers, and a bendable monster tongue. You can add on a tutu skirt as I did.
We risked falling into the pool for this shot.
Worth it!
Josie’s lips are beyond this world.
I loved working with Lisa Boyle — she was full of energy and ideas, and had a great eye for pop photography.
In addition to the J Valentine collection, Josie’s busy with modeling, makeup artistry, and a new line of PJs coming out soon with Jumpin Jammerz.
The hood is secured through the shoulders, so you can slide it down without losing it.
Costume change! On West Third Street, in front of new restaurant The Churchill.
Lisa is doing a photo series with girls and a giant, naughty Ted bear (from the movie).
“Ted, remove your eyes from the peep show!”
“Bad bear, he’s falling over drunk. What shall we do?”
“Stick him into a taxi.” So funny how Josie convinced the driver to let us take the shot. And my disapproving face!
To get in on the fun, peep at the Josie Loves J. Valentine costume collection. Purchasing info is on the site.
Huge thanks to Lisa Boyle for the brilliant photos.
Did you enjoy this shoot? Have you heard of Josie Stevens, or seen her TV show? What’s your favorite costume from her collection?
