I’m honored to be on the cover of Cut Out + Keep’s Snippets Magazine. They did a thoughtful interview with me about coolhunting, extreme body modifications, and my dream travel TV show. In the “superhero” interview, I also reveal how I find time to blog between all the madness.
In addition, Wantering blog named me their latest Trendsetter. “Find out more about her alternative style, Japanese fashion and her cat, Basil Farrow” in the article.
Fuksja, a Polish vintage fashion magazine, interviewed me and gave me the full back cover. Coming up: features in Elle, and South China Morning Post.
Such fun to model with John Skeleton (he’ll soon contribute a London Goth guide to this blog). We’re wearing local Gothic Lolita brand Spider.
Kanae’s photo manipulations put me in a sci-fi world (more on her Tumblr).
Striking a pose on “Women Street”. Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities in the world. Find out why in my blog series and on Discover HK’s Facebook.
I leave you with two photos, taken with a film camera by Jacqueline Kwok (noircorner) and assisted by Ken Yuen.
Nothing beats old-school film, don’t you think?
This series originally appeared in the January 2013 issue of Dark Beauty, with La Carmina on the cover. You can still pick up a copy and see more photos.
Do you like it when I dress like “Goth Princess Peach”? Got ideas for my next photoshoot? Let me know in the comments!

Luxy Loli: kawaii cute Japanese iPhone cases. Jeremy Scott smart car at Tokyo Fashion Week.
I know you’ve missed my cat-face… so here’s Basil Farrow, with our new mobile phone case from Luxy Loli!
UK-based Luxy Loli made this adorable custom design that represents my spooky-cute world.
Pirates, ghosts, pumpkins in the mix. Can you find Basil’s face?
The iPhone case snaps on easily, and isn’t too heavy. Whenever I take it out, people ask me “Where did you get that?”
The answer is: Luxy Loli! In addition to hand-decorated phone cases, she sells cute Japanese-style accessories on her Etsy shop. She also accepts all custom requests and inquiries by email: luxy.loli@yahoo.com (tell her I sent you!)
Luxy Loli also made my previous rainbow decora cell case. Which one do you like better?
