LATEX CYBERGOTH DRESS! VANCOUVER MAKEUP ARTISTS, PROFESSIONAL HAIR STYLISTS, GOTH FETISH CLOTHING STORES.
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)!
Makeup and Bodypaint by Jennifer Little of Glitter Machine
Photography by Lee Kembel of Glitter Machine
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!

CASTING FOR FOOD NETWORK TV SHOW! SECONDHAND VINTAGE CLOTHING SHOPS IN TOKYO JAPAN, KINJI HARAJUKU SHOPPING.
Casting call! I’m looking for extras in Tokyo, Japan — come join me on my Food Network TV shoots!
If you’re in Tokyo between now and Sept 26, please email gothiccarmina@gmail.com with your full availability and contact info (including phone). We need English-speakers of all types (not just Goths/alternative kids). You’ll likely be interviewed on-camera as a theme restaurant customer.
It’d be great if you could help by telling your Tokyo friends. They’ll get to hang out with me and spooky pals, be part of a fun TV shoot and experience the world of theme restaurants. More info about the Food Network show in this post.
When I’m not working on-set, you’ll typically find me shopping with friends in Harajuku. Here are eight tips to help you have the perfect excursion.
1. Wear shoes made for walking. There’s a lot of side-streets to wander and staircases to climb, and you don’t want to cut your Harajuku trip short because of tired toes.
I’m wearing various lace layers and an h.NAOTO purse from Closet Child (a must-visit store).
2. Be weather-wary. Tokyo can be temperamental – sudden downpours, stupefying humidity, blizzard cold. Yukiro wisely brought along a fashionable fan on a hot summer day.
2. Bring a camera; Harajuku is overflowing with poppy fashion and inspiration. And be ready to be snapped. Kera Magazine and street snap blogs often roam theses streets.
3. Short on money? Visit Kinji, the gargantuan secondhand clothing store. From Harajuku station, go down Takeshita Doori and turn right on Meiji Doori. Look for the orange Kinji sign on the right side, and walk down the stairs.
4. If David Bowie would wear it… you should too. The store’s full of alternative, Gothic and club clothing. Sparkle purple pants and cheetah prints abound.
I got this panda bear skirt for a few hundred yen. Seba wanted this fighting doll.
A Batman mask and a neon relic from the 1980s.
5. When shopping in a group, take turns choosing shops. Yukiro ran into Takenoko, the drag queen store. Cotton Bale stayed outside, with thumbs down.
Feather boas and sequins cover every inch.
Hats off to anyone who can pull off this look.
6. Don’t snub off-brand Gothic Lolita Punk clothes. Even if the quality is not the best, AC/DC has fun designs.
1000 yen items = a great deal.
7. Pick up omiyages (souvenirs) for friends. Fun socks and toys cost only a few hundred yen.
I hope you enjoyed my shopping suggestions. I leave you with this dramatic sign inside Harajuku Station.
Do you prefer to shop alone, or friends? What are your tips for perfect shopping day?
There’s more Gothic Lolita Alternative fashion and store photos in my big Tokyo shopping guide.
