MARILYN MANSON BLUE MAKEUP AND MOI-MEME-MOITIE DRESS: LONDON UNDERGROUND BOOTS, JAPANESE GOTHIC PHOTOSHOOT.

My photoshoot is inspired by Marilyn Manson’s blue makeup and his (upcoming?) fantasy-horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. The concept: “Victorian England. A haunted writer in an isolated castle is tormented by sleepless nights and visions of a girl named Alice. He finds himself becoming a symptom of his own invention. ‘Now all my nightmares know my name.’ He is Lewis Carroll. Terrified of what waits for him each night.”

Dress: Moi-meme-Moitie, from Closet Child Harajuku.
Leather ankle buckle boots: Oats n’ Barley by London Underground. Sturdy, sexy, and perfect for a Manson concert.

Electric blue eyeshadows: Aromaleigh and Medusa. The trick for achieving a perfect perimeter? Wipe away the excess with the magic makeup remover from Japan!
Lipstick: a mix of two shades: blood red on the inside and purple outside.
Spade and clover stickers: from Tokyu Hands, for a Goth Alice touch.

Marilyn Manson fans, Cute Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow, son of Ronan and La Carmina, Gothic Japanese girl with blue heavy makeup, cool Japanese hairstyles, Hong Kong fashion, adoring kitty cat funny face

No La Carmina outfit post is complete without a cameo by her ever-adoring earless cat, Basil Farrow.

We love your Marilyn Manson contest entries so far; please keep them coming to win a limited edition vinyl signed by the band! Just tell us how you’d describe Manson in three words. “Dark attention whore” – “Unabashed writhing evil” – “Don’t eat me” – you get the idea.

You can enter the contest in one of two ways.
1) TWITTER. Copy and Tweet the following message, but replace “Your Three Words” with your own 3-word description of Manson.

#mmansonin3words YOUR THREE WORDS. RT w/yr 3word description of Marilyn Manson to win vinyl signed by band! www.lacarmina.com/blog

2) COMMENT. a) Leave a comment on this blog post with your three-word description. b) Spread the word about this giveaway (by emailing your friends, blogging, or posting on a forum/social network) and tell me how you got the news out.

The Marilyn Manson contest runs until next Tuesday at midnight. A random number generator will narrow down the entries to 15 (Manson’s special number), and then Basil, Ronan and I will pick our favorite.
For ideas, watch Manson’s new music video, and add the band on MySpace and Facebook. The High End of Low is now in stores; click here to purchase through iTunes.

What are you waiting for? Tweet and comment away!

    That dress is beautiful
    Mana has amaising talent
    Im not too crazy about Manson tho
    He is making a movie?
    It sounds pretty interesting.

    I looked at the Wiki page and it says its being released on his website.
    So its not going to be a big thing?

    I'm not sure about the status of the film… he recently did a HILARIOUS BBC interview where he basically turned every question into lascivious wordplay… which means he didn't answer the question about the film!

    I love the outfit, it saddened when I saw that London Underground doesn't carry my size when you last posted about then.

    Hello Carmina,

    I don't actually have anything to say regarding this post, but I wanted to thank you. I won the lucky cat bento box–it's very cute! I found out when I was in Tokyo (I've been back almost two weeks now). My host-mom in Utsunomiya made me some really great bentos, so I'm glad to have my own now!

    Thanks again!

    My 3 words: “gloriously debauched gimp” I hope I'm not too late^^

    I love the *dark Alice* look, yours is even better than G&LB's attempt

    Oh and I have an off topic question if that's ok, do you have the address of any craft shops in Tokyo (maybe Shibuya/Skinjuku area) that you have featured in your customising articles? I'm off to Tokyo in a month and I've never found any there before

    Also, do you know where one would find a good gig (where my underage brother can also attend)?

    Sorry to pester you!!
    Thanks >.<

      No problem! In Shibuya or Ikebukuro, visit Tokyu Hands and Loft. The former has every sort of hardware and knick knack you can think of.

      In Shinjuku, go to Okadaya. It’s craft and fabric heaven. Feathers, glitter, beads, etc.

      There’s also a bead shop in Laforet Harajuku, but it’s a little pricier. You can see photos in my Tokyo Shopping Guide (right sidebar of blog).

      I’m not great at keeping up with concerts (if that’s what you mean by a good gig), but you can Google for VK bands etc and there’s sure to be something going on …. have fun!
