USA ANIME CONVENTIONS, COMIC-CONS, MANGA VENDORS, OTAKU CULTURE & COSPLAY CONTESTS: ANI-JAM FRESNO, CALIFORNIA.
La Carmina and Seba wind up in the most random of places. This year, we were in LA, Hong Kong, Macau, Italy and Tokyo. And now, we can add Fresno to the list.
Strike a superhero pose: we were guests of honor at Ani-Jam anime convention in California!
Seba wears an h.NAOTO top, Strange Freak silver rings, RJ 1959 bracelet and Algonquins bag. As for the nerd glasses… seems like someone is secretly otaku.
I’m wearing an h.NAOTO tank top, and some of my favorite accessories: spider ring, Monomania bone necklace, Yohji Yamamoto bracelet.
Ani-Jam put us in a humongous room at the Radisson Hotel. One colossal bed and two flat-screen TVs. Even the room service portions were monstrous.
A lobby fit for a Rococo prince.
The convention had a laid-back, friendly vibe. Young people dressed in cosplay, selling Jpop goods.
It was a pleasure to meet all of you who came to support us!
Listed as guests of honor in the brochure.
Pop quiz: Which one of us is wearing a wig?
The first day, I had a panel and autograph session.
I spoke about my work and answered questions from the audience.
Videos of my Scottish Fold cat, Basil Farrow, are always a big hit.
Signing autographs with my cute Rilakkuma bear pen.
Thanks to those who brought gifts! You’re all so sweet and welcoming.
With Miss Hannah Minx, another guest at the comic con.
The organizers took us to dinner at a steakhouse, and we had a raucous time drinking red wine and discussing Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.
We can’t thank Ani-Jam enough for flying us in and taking such good care of us! The Fresno con is refreshingly free of stress — it’s a place where you can simply hang, enjoy the events and meet new friends. You should consider swinging by next year (perhaps we’ll be there again).
PS: Thank you to whoever made this fan video of La Carmina & Sebastiano Serafini & Basil Farrow!

I’m a cyber pin up girl, in tight red latex. Blasting space aliens with my raygun.
Shiny new photos from my spread in Alt Noir Magazine, Issue 12 (you can buy it here)!

Wardrobe and styling by Tracy Rodger and Jenni Wong of Deadly Couture (Tracy is blowing the bubbles!)
Hair by Isolde Semple of Avant Garde Salon. She curled my hair with a science fiction-like “rod”, and pinned it up.
Many of you asked me for makeup tutorials. I took iPhone snapshots as Jennifer worked on my eyes, so you can see the professional techniques.
1) Shade the eyebrows to match my red hair. Dramatic black eyeshadow contour around the eyelids.
2) Add pink/red shading to the lids.
3) Blend it together.
4) Diffuse the edges, and add false top and bottom lashes.
5) Outline the lips with black.
6) Add magenta lipstick and gloss.
Of course, the look wouldn’t work without pale, matte foundation and blush for contouring.
Tracy lubed up my red latex dress, which was customized by Jenni of Deadly Couture alternative fashion boutique in Vancouver.
The big latex bow, fuzzy leg warmers and fishnet armbands complete the look. Pow!
Tracy blew bubbles above my head, creating this very cool effect.
Who wants to cast me in a 1970s space disco B-movie?
Here’s more work from Glitter Machine, a Vancouver creative studio. Check out their site for more of their bodypainting, alternative photoshoots and makeup (such as Day of the Dead).
Do you like this cyber-space look on me? Should I wear more latex? What type of outfits or aesthetics would you like to see?
Don’t forget to check out my airbrushed corspe bride look for the cover. Coming up next… behind-the-scenes my Pirate Pin-Up look for the magazine!
