LEATHER DOMINATRIX CAP & EYEPATCH: ALTERNATIVE MODELLING, GOTHIC FETISH PHOTOGRAPHY. LIP SERVICE JACKET, HANDMADE CORSET.
Girls are made of sugar and spice, and everything nice… or are they? Welcome to part two of my Goth alternative photoshoot with Apollo Staar!
Makeup: I used dark purple Cyber MAC lipstick around the edges of my lips, and blended the middle part with red. I found silver sparkly “stick-on eyebrows” in a Hollywood wig/costume store, and glued them under my eyes. Finally, I drew on a beauty mark.
I’m wearing some of my favorite clothes in these photos. You’ve seen my spiky ankle boots many times; they’re by Tripp NYC, from Trash and Vaudeville on St. Marks place. (See my New York Goth shopping and clubbing suggestions here.)
I adore my fake furry, real spiky Lip Service jacket. (I wore it to the Museum of Death.)
The look is very Visual Kei, ne? Apollo is a fan of Japanese J-rock and VK photography, and knows how to shoot in that style.
He lent me the dominatrix hat, eyepatch and long black gloves. I think I need these items in my closet…
If you’re in LA, what are you waiting for? Book Apollo Staar for your next photo session. You won’t be disappointed.
Are you a fan of alternative/fetish photoshoots? Who are your favorite photographers and models in this genre?
PS: I’m currently in Osaka and it’s pure awesomeness. Visual Kei bar adventures with Fuki (ex-BLOOD), and I took photos of all the Gothic Lolita Punk shops in Shinsaibashi… will post ASAP. For more daily updates, please check out my Twitter.
