Skeleton Key Photography

I worked with Chloe of Skeleton Key Photography for the Holiday/Winter Line and we got together for a special shoot at ReBar in New Jersey. Was stoked to have model/mua Amanda Grande strike a pose and she's like a combo of Angelina and Kat Dennings. We also had friends come out to provide background support and it turned into one big party. All clothing Sibyl Vain.

Numinous Magazine Party

I was asked to be one of the designers to show at the Numinous Magazine Release Party at the 3rd & Girard Bar in Philadelphia earlier this year. Talk about a great way to start the new year. You can find more information on all the models and artists on Facebook.

Nattestid and Gil Rivera

I really am so random with shoots and also very picky. Me and model Nattestid had been talking about shooting together since we worked together at the Queen of the Jungle event. Last minute she set up things with Gil Rivera Fotography and we had an amazing makeup artist, Mia TheMlook

So how could anything go wrong? Well...they didn't. Except for being in a cold studio because I complain about everything, some incredible shots came from this.

You can check out more images on my website or Facebook. Like the fanpage and you'll see lots more images even before I post them here!

Tattoo Glamour

Here's a couple images from a shoot I provided some wardrobe on. Orchestrated by make-up extraordinaire, Brittany Diaz and photographer Madness Photography, the shoot was going to be on the glam side of things.

The make up was to die for and Chazy of Madness Photography captured the models beautifully. The girls were Jinxi Jey, Karma Kitty Mariko and Tina HeartThrob and oh yes...there was a male model on hand - J Michael Kent - but you have to go to Madness's site to see how he fell into the story.

Pretty and badass? Quite so.

Chloe VonCreepy Is the Sweetest!

I had given a bunch of pretties to the lovely Chloe VonCreepy the other week for a photoshoot she had coming up. Not only was she able to shoot a couple looks, she also made this AWESOME and super sweet video blog talking about my line.

Not Your Mother's Little Black Dress

Added new items to the Etsy shop the other week!

Sibyl Vain Etsy

p.s...the second to last dress has been sold!

Not Ink Master

Anyone else a little 'meh' on Van Halen's return?

I know they've grown, matured and will never be exactly what they were back in the day, but I expected something more.

Good song no doubt, but as a first single to mark their return? Eh....

And yes, I wasn't expecting Diamond Dave to be running around the stage in spandex, but I had hoped for a more upbeat, faster tempo. And stupid me didn't keep tabs on their tour and I highly doubt I'll be seeing them live anytime soon. BUMMED OUT!

EVENTS!

I'm happy to announce my first vending event!

Upstate New York Metal & Hardcore Festival

I'll have t-shirts (which haven't been shown to the world yet), new samples I've been working on and sale items! I wish I could be bringing more, but due to the recent problems I've had with my spine...as a designer whose clothing is currently all handmade, I was unable to sew for the past month.

But that doesn't mean we're not going to have a good time at this event.
July 8 - 10th
Saratoga Springs at Lee's Park
Pricing was $30 last time I checked and is for the whole weekend and includes free camping for the weekend.




And then if you haven't heard...

It's going to be bananas - I'll be posting updates as I hear anything and I'll be posting preview of the items I'm bringing along to the festival mentioned above. Get ready.

So...Where was Johnny Depp?

Over the weekend, I was on hand for photoshoot featuring designs from my latest collection!

We shot around the town of Sleepy Hollow and it was so cool checking out (via the car window) the little town, orange & black street signs and the biggest cemetery I've ever seen.

Below are just three shots I took on my phone from the day. You can kind of see the outfits, but definitely can get a feel for where we were all at. We started out at this abandoned school. I wouldn't say it was really old, but totally got this vibe of 'Silent Hill' and thought that twisted janitor from the bathroom was going to come crawling out from the shadows and kill us.

We survived though!
Photographer was Brent Lee of Phun Photo, model was the lovely Alex and pulling out make up and hair magic was Adriana.

First look and location was in the greenhouse part of this school. Glass was EVERYWHERE! As well as those little red spiders/ants were everywhere.




Then we moved into the school...the first look was up in the attic of the place in this area that I don't even know what it was, but there were wheels, open roof and the model stood on a grate looking down to a really long drop. There was these like 'pens' all about...I said that's where they kept the students who needed to be reprimanded.




They also shot in the stairwell, but I was too busy laying down because my back started killing me! But we then got Applebees and recharged on the drive to the final location.

We got to this old building on the water and had a weird 'non-gay guido meeting' across the way from us. They were also trying to sneak a peek at our gorgeous model who was getting the ultimate drag-vamp make up job.

We shot three looks and this is the first. Won't tell you how they all got down to the little stream there, but doesn't she look like a glam metal version of Ariel after she became human?

Can't wait to get thses photos back!

I love it! It's that 'cooler than you' chick who's off to a concert.

Rockin' the silver & turqouise Roxy dress.

In This Moment @ Santos Party House

Do I even have to explain how I adore In This Moment?

OK, so I'm behind on listening to their new album, but great sound, meaningful lyrics and a front woman who is girly as anything, but still can kick your ass.

We rushed over to Santos Party House down town somewhere, haha, and according the online set times, were only going to catch like ten minutes of ITM.

Nope! Something went wrong with scheduling and stages, so...my friend (who I dragged to this and probably hated me after) and I walked in an opener, but ITM was next. Interesting old school metal - don't know the opener's name.

It was just this perfect scene: you walk in from the cold hallway and are hit with the smell of weed and alcohol lingering above the packed floor of fans head to toe in black attire. The lights create a haze above the drunk floor and ITM sets up shop with a microphone stand covered in skulls that stands on a raised platform for singer Maria Brink to stand upon.

The sound overall was a bit scratchy to hear, but it was full speed ahead once started with new material at the ready. They pulled out "Forever" and "Beautiful Tragedy" and I was happy. Am really stoked to get the new album - sounds a lot harder than their previous - sucked I couldn't get to the merch stands to pick it up.

I promised my friend to leave early, but next thing, there were two songs left and I said, let's hear what the last will be. Well, it was 'THE' song I wanted to hear and we stayed. "Daddy's Falling Angel"

I Went Where?

Oh yea...I hung out with the cool kids last night at the Suicide Silence / Mychildren Mybride / The Tony Danza Tap Dancing Extravaganza / Molotov Solution show at Starland Ballroom.

There were seven bands on the bill and I knew that 5:30 doors was not going to be early enough - even arriving at 8pm, I walked in with 4 1/2 bands to go and I forgot my earplugs.

It turned out to be a good night though - cool people to hang out with and make fun of the crowd, not a sold out show, but the floor was full and a good amount of people at the back bar.

Molotov Solution was good, though I don't really remember much else about them. I've been dying to see Tony Danza... just b/c the name is rad as hell, but it's definitely 'guy's only' music. Mychildren Mybride REALLY got my attention and hello, their one guitarist was cute and the bassist was Asian (I like them kind of boys).

Seriously though, great performance and the music was a bit more girl-friendly, so I got into it, with those small melodic moments and it wasn't just 'rawr rawr rawr!'

Suicide Silence cracked me up. I love this shit!

After MCMB's set, it was like a mass exodus out the venue, which I thought was strange, but I guess the kiddies needed fresh air, merch or smoke a cig b/c they're 'so cool.' The majority of the kids came back for Suicide, but I was surprised that quite a handful left. Hm.

The singer of Suicide is crazy - it's like his mouth doesn't even move and he's with the pterodactyl screams and then switches to the growling and yea. But I noticed, he had the audience sing a lot - I guess someone can't do both live, haha. I honestly really don't know what was up with that b/c I really don't know their music.

It was an hour set and I was kinda done after half an hour, but I stuck it out and decided upon finding my own super tall, really skinny, covered in tatoos, some-kind-of-core band's screamer to kidnap. Or become friends with, whatever comes first.

First CREEPSHOW Shoot of 2010!

I said I would be posting some photos from the recent shoot we did. That girl is a monster in a quick turn-over of photos!
