I did a shoot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for a fashion magazine feature. Thought I’d release some bonus photos taken during my Millie Magazine shoot.

We had fun shooting in Chinatown Vancouver. I’m wearing a pink Mongolian wool coat by Skandinavik Fur (the sheep are only sheared and not harmed), and pumpkin-faced stockings by UK Tights.

Ready to be admitted to the Chinese Seniors Center… I’m wearing these exact black platform boots: Jeffrey Campbell Mexique shoes, click link for details.

My makeup for the shoot was by my longtime collaborator, Artist Jennifer Little — we’ve worked together on several magazine covers! Much of my makeup, including the mascara, brow pomade and liquid lipstick, is by Anastasia Beverly Hills.

My Harajuku-Goth hair is by Chad Mitchell Evans of BlameChad, who is brilliant with color and alternative styling.

If I can’t be in Asia anytime soon, I can at least hang out with the lion guardians of Vancouver, BC’s Chinatown. These two white stone lion statues flank either side of the Millennium Gate.

There’s a large Asian population in Vancouver, so you’ll find plenty of kawaii pop culture around the city, including this colorful wall art.

Wearing a vintage coat, Jeremy Scott leather mini skirt, and Forest Ink cutaway top.

I got this shearling coat in London years ago. It reminds me of the Almost Famous jacket.

Pink furry coat by Skandinavik, Halloween stockings by UK Tights, boots are Jeffrey Campbell Mexique (click to get).

One day, I will turn into my final form: Miffy the bunny.

Founded in the 1880s, Vancouver’s Chinatown is now the largest in Canada, and one of the biggest in the world. Stroll around to see vibrant storefronts, architecture, food shops and more.

Had to capture this makeup by Artist Jennifer Little, and hair by BlameChad.

If I could teleport anywhere, I’d go to Japan and Hong Kong…

Hail Miffy, the original kawaii character.

May the stone lion protectors keep us safe in this unstable world…

I hope you enjoyed this fashion series! I was just in NYC, and shot many new outfits there… I’ll share the images with you soon, and you can see previews on @lacarmina Instagram.

I also interviewed people from a variety of expert backgrounds (fashion, music, history) about their dark and devilish possessions. John and I also show and tell a belonging of our own, such as a sugar skull that I picked up in Mexico City.

Honored to have Evan Michelson be our very first guest! You may remember that I appeared on an Oddities episode with her, and we were in Mexico together on a Day of the Dead trip — where I found these Mexican demon and skull masks above.

In journalism news: I’m delighted to share that I have a byline in Time Magazine… I wrote a travel article about Osaka, Japan, highlighting the new Universal Studios Nintendo World!
