Bday Post #3
Spent most of the day Friday the 21st working on things for the event up there. Going nuts!
Took a sanity break and headed down to Seaside Heights. My friends hadn't been in over a year and had wanted to see what had and hasn't been rebuilt, plus check out their old shore home, which was alive and well thankfully. There were still a lot of homes and buildings that were marked as uninhabitable an the boardwalk had to be lit by massive flood lights as without the rides up, even the moon wasn't enough to help illuminate the boardwalk.
I tried winning one of those minions from Despicable Me, but failed. Did however eat a ton of food - pizza, cheesy curly fries, a lemonade and ice cream. Yum!
I wanted to be a dork and see the Shore Store and once you got there, it was the end of the boardwalk and a blockade prevented you from going further. Weird to see. There were people strolling along the beach and I finally got to see Karma and Bamboo...Karma was literally dead, but Bamboo is HUGE and quite alive. I now want to go!

Cake Boss and Who?
Earlier this month, I got to be the designer for a fashion show put on by Mika of Sugar & Spikes Casting and Kitty Crystal the Tattoed Artist.
Look! That's them!
It was a crazy day because we got hit with a bad snow storm and made driving not fun, but cake waits for no man! Funny thing, the original filming date was supposed to be on a day when we also got a big storm.
It was rush rush time fitting models and being selfish so I could get my hair and makeup done, haha. It was intense watching Kitty do the special effects makeup on the models. They got 'Walking Dead-afied.' And what was also just amazing was that Ashley from Cake Boss/Next Great Baker was a model for me. Whoa.
Once production gave us a 20 minute heads up, I started freaking out. We walked over to an unconventional runway and waited for the cue. The audience was not disappointed by the models and did I mention the most amazing cake that was brought? Can't tell you about it except that Mika and Kitty had a big part in it!
Not too sure when the episode will air - I think after the summer. Sucks waiting, but gives more time to plan a huge viewing party!

Models of the day - Blessed, Nyx, Chelli, Erin Poland, Tiff Roma, Emilia, Karina, Millz Marley, Areana, Gigi Rose, Ashley Holt
Make up - Devin Dollface Alexis
Hair - Kristina Taskova and Gloria Espinoza

Cynical Fashion Magazine Issue #1

I've worked quite a bit with mua Brittany Diaz and her main photographer, Madness Photography. They have been turning out images like crazy and doing big things, so it's only natural a magazine would follow.
Cynical Fashion Magazine will be released April 1st and I was so flattered to be asked to provide wardrobe for their first cover and for an editorial. Even more stoked that the featured model would be Allison Goldfire. Whoa.
Make sure you check it out and for more updates, add the Sibyl Vain Facebook

Riot Vixen Magazine...Again!
Jinxi Jey (right side) wearing a Sibyl Vain bow bikini in the current issue of Riot Vixen Magazine! Photo was done by Madness Photography and hair/mua by Brittany Diaz (see previous post for even more images of that shoot).
And guess who's on the issue's cover? Miss Mischief! So fabulous, not to mention that she is also wearing a Sibyl Vain studded bust leotard in the last issue of Riot Vixen Magazine. Whoa.

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.

My FIRST Cover!
I was SO excited when I got to see this! I had been asked a bit ago to loan out a stellar dress for model Leah Jung. It was a couple months of waiting - I didn't even get to see any images beforehand!
The Sweethearts Edition of Bella Morte Magazine went on sale this week and I was dancing around at work when I finally got to see the final image. There is also a beautiful feature on Leah Jung in the issue and she models the hell out of the dress! So stoked!
Here's another image from the issue - make sure you check it out and grab your copy today!

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!

I Play with Make Up!
Do I look like a drag queen now? I aspire to.

Getting ready for Halloween weekend next week - I didn't this year for my birthday have a marathon celebration, so I think I'm turning Halloween into a marathon celebration. I got Saturday down, but what to do Thursday & Friday?
I going to be Kat Von D one of the days! I did my eyes different, so don't think I'm crazy or anything.
I was SO in awe over the artist on LA Ink tonight - the mural he did, OMG! It was just amazing and how perfectly he captured facial expressions was so impressive.
I forget what's on the menu for next week with that show, but I really want Ruthless at the other shop fired. She probably was casted to cause drama and act like a bitch to Amy. Casted just like Aubrey and did anyone else see Angel from Tough Love 2 on the show last week? She's cool though, not Aubrey.
Getting back in the swing of writing - two interviews this week! One was today and the other is Friday. Can't wait for all the shows in November!
Plus I'm getting back in the swing of something else...SELLING THINGS! We're taking photos of items to list this weekend, so get ready!
