LA CARMINA IN GOTHIC BEAUTY MAGAZINE! MEXICAN SUGAR SKULLS MAKEUP, PURPLE EXTENSIONS HAIRSTYLE, LOLITA DRESS.
I’m in the current issue of Gothic Beauty magazine! Major thanks to Marissa for the interview, and to my heart-stoppingly talented team who did the photography, hair, makeup and styling.
After my Mexico Day of the Dead journey, I’m addicted to sugar skulls. We paired a half-face with styling influenced by Japanese Goth and Lolita.
Three cheers for my Vancouver-based dream team.
Makeup and bodypainting: Jennifer Little of GlitterMachine
Photography: Lee Kembel
Hair stylist: Isolde Semple
Wardrobe and styling: Jenni Wong and Tracy Rodger, Deadly Couture in Vancouver
I’m floored with the interview. Gothic Beauty’s description: “La Carmina is a uniquely bright and shining star in the goth scene. Always sporting a style that’s spooky, cute, and sexy all at the same time, and with a group of creepy chic friends in tow, La Carmina travels the world in search of subjects that fascinate.”
You can pick up a copy of Issue 36 here.
I’m happy that the article honors my friends and colleagues, Naomi Rubin (First Mate of our Pirates business for TV hosting/fixing/consulting), and Yukiro the “glam-Evil-Queen.”
I’m wearing my own clothes: a Lolita dress by Innocent World, h.NAOTO ruffle boots, and a faux fur jacket from Hong Kong.
The amazing silver ring is gifted by Fashionology.
Nail art is by Bling Nails in Vancouver.
I can’t thank my team enough for their hard work (remember they also did my Alt Noir Magazine cover photoshoot?)
It took hours to airbrush and paint every last dot. My poofed hair is my own, except for the lighter purple curls in the front (those are pin-in extensions).
We set up a shooting space inside Avant Garde Hair studio in Vancouver.
When the day was done… a welcome glass of wine!
Incredible work, isn’t it? We shot a few more looks that day… photos to come as soon as possible! Til then, check out the Alt Noir cover pics we did together.

LA CARMINA RED CARPET INTERVIEW: PROJECT RUNWAY DESIGNERS SHOW, FAME ROCKS. NY FASHION WEEK FAB PARTY.
When La Carmina and Yukiro hit the red carpet… you’re guaranteed a vicious interview!
We were “celebrity guests” at the Fame Rocks NY Fashion Week event, which included presentations by Project Runway designers. Watch our red carpet interview above and on YouTube. (Also includes my Fashion TV clips at NYFW and Luisaviaroma Firenze4Ever.)
Sweet Lolita white dress: gifted by Gloomth
Flower hair clips: gifted by Angelica Brigade
Heart knee socks: got them in Tokyo
Yukiro wears a lacy vampire ensemble, custom-designed by Death by Febraury.
We walked the (literally) red carpet, posed for photos in front of the backdrop, and took part in interviews with magazines and TV stations.
Inside, we munched on the free food and drinks, and mugged for more photos.
Who needs a fashion show when Yukiro is around?
Someone should be crowned “Miss Evil Queen!”
Or… neon green vampire. (Note the custom-molded fangs from Japan.)
Stevie Boi’s sunglasses were a highlight of the evening.
His catwalk included a live electric violinist.
I adored the Cotrice Collection of plus sized women’s clothing.
Little witch hats and runched silver. The women looked gorgeous.
One of my favorite shows of the entire season!
After Fame Rocks, we stopped by the FAB party.
More free food.
Do you think the models were paid to look bored?
Thanks to Fame Rocks for the red carpet treatment. Hope you enjoy the video clips of my Fashion TV appearances (including runway shows and red carpet interviews).
Have you ever seen a plus-sized fashion show? What do you think of the runway images above? Should I do more sweet Lolita styling?
