VAMPIRE GOTH GIRLS! BIRTHDAY & VALENTINE’S PHOTO PROJECT: PEOPLE HOLDING UP SIGNS FOR SEBA.
In yesterday’s post, I hinted at an interactive project for Sebastiano Serafini’s 21st birthday (and bloody heart day). What was it? I made a sign and took iPhone photos of people holding it up. All day long, I Tweeted the images to Seba in Japan! (Beginning, of course, with my beautiful Basil Farrow.)
I went all around town, wearing a Victorian mourning veil and fortune teller makeup.
I interviewed Paul Allender, the legendary metal guitarist of Cradle of Filth (video and photos to come). He was a great sport, and held up the message for Seba.
Miss Rose held up the sign, as well as Tracy the Valentine’s Fairy. There’s a closeup of the super exclusive spooky friendship club rings.
A lot of interesting individuals gladly took part. You can see how our day progressed: tattoo/piercing parlor, almond milk heart latte, Asian twin kids, burlesque girls.
Where to find hot Gothic girls? At the Cradle of Filth concert, and Descent (Vancouver Goth club night at Red Room). More reports and photos to come…
Sebastiano’s birthday wish… is that you take part in our photo project! He’d love to have a photo of you holding up a sign, with a birthday or Valentine’s Day message. You can Tweet it to him @sebaofficial or email info@sebastianoserafini.com — we look forward to seeing your creative images.
You can keep track of my photos and updates on my Twitter (@lacarmina) — please add me; I follow back.
What’s the most unique birthday present you’ve given or received? Are you enjoying our recent collaborations and blog content?
I hope you’ll make a photo-message for Sebastiano, or at least comment with a birthday greeting for him. We’ll post your photo on our blogs!

NOH8 JAPAN CAMPAIGN, FAMILIAR FACES CELEBRITY PHOTOS. GOTH VALENTINE’S DAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEBASTIANO SERAFINI!
Kyou wa February 14th in Japan… meaning today is Sebastiano Serafini’s birthday!
You probably don’t need to reminded that it’s also Bloody Black Heart Venereal Disease Day. (There’s no such thing as Valentine’s Day in Spookyville. Too goopy, don’t you agree?)
To celebrate Seba’s b-day and V-day, I’m going to be Tweeting fun photos and messages. Please follow my Twitter (@lacarmina) and Seba’s (@sebaofficial) to see the mischief I have planned!
I’m still sorting through mega-folders of photos from our Los Angeles Invasion. We were quite the sight in our gyaru leopard print outfits, gifted from Like Atmosphere. The designer necklaces are presents from RJ 1959. (Sebastiano models for both Japanese brands.)
We took part in a TV shoot at Blue Monday, the 80s party at Boardner’s. The same venue where our Bar Sinister Goth club hosting fiasco went down! (If you missed it, here are the photos and story.)
We also did some TV shoots at M Cafe de Chaya. I interviewed the owner and head chef, Tachibe-san, and he filled us up with flavorful macrobiotic food.

Look out, children. There’s an Eurasian animal prowling Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
I always take new LA visitors to Amoeba Records. Best place to find used CDs and vinyls, such as KISS records.
My favorite part of the music store, by far, is the Death Metal aisle. Oh, the band names.
Our Hollywood Invasion was an explosive mix of work and play… many LA photos and stories still to come!
And we’ll have more info about taking NOH8 to Japan (have you seen our photos?). Thanks for your incredible enthusiasm; we want you to be involved. Stay tuned, and let’s work together!
Are you doing anything for Valentine’s Day? Come see what I’m up to on my Twitter …
And… it would be awesome if you could send Sebastiano a birthday message! Please leave a comment in this post, or Tweet @sebaofficial.
