GOTH ALICE IN WONDERLAND COSTUMES AT BAR SINISTER HOLLYWOOD CLUB. KYNT & VYXSIN, CHESHIRE CAT MAKEUP, MAD HATTERS & WHITE RABBITS.


Though I wasn’t blown away by Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland film (see my review here) — I wasn’t dissuaded from dressing up for the Goth Alice party at Hollywood’s Bar Sinister!

Makeup: Inspired by the Queen of Hearts, I turned my lips into a heart-shape. (I covered the edges with foundation, and drew a heart on my lips with red lipstick.) I glued red eyelashes under my eyelids.
Hair: Tied to the side and decorated with glittery flower clips from a fabric store.
Grey shawl: from my beloved 99 cent store. I usually wear it in my hair.
Dress: People’s Market
Silver ankle boots: Nabbed them for $2.99 in a Fairfax vintage store!

Our friends Kynt and Vyxsin (top photos) hosted the party; they’re two of the nicest Goths you’ll ever meet! Vyxsin and Yukiro both dressed as Cheshire Cats, complete with fuzzy tails. (Yukiro did a different interpretation of the costume in my Theme Restaurants book — have you gotten a copy?)

What fun it was to party with the White Queen, Red Queen, Mad Hatter and other Lewis Carroll eccentrics.

I love it when nightcrawlers put effort into their costumes. Goths, steampunkers, fetishists, drag queens — a better-dressed turnout than usual.

Bar Sinister is one of our favorite venues in LA. The two-floor club resembles Dracula’s manor with gargoyles, red sofas, gilded mirrors and a fog-emitting fountain lit by candles. Not to mention the punishment corners, and the absinthe bar…

As you can see, we had quite a silly night! (Photos by Greg of Tune in Tokyo.)

Have you seen the Goth duo on The Amazing Race? You can add them on Twitter to keep up with their latest modelling gigs and appearances. (And add me too!)

    I saw ALICE 3-D and I wasn’t blown away either. I did like the visuals and the costumes, though.

    I really liked the AIW Tim Burton style… it gave a morbid vibe that I usually like. But anyway, awesome costumes! ;D

    Love the outfits! Yours and Yukiro’s mekeup was a bit more creative than the makeup in the Tim Burton film, in my opinion. God, I can’t wait for the myv concert in NYC! And about |J-rock news… I’m pretty sure you’ve covered everything…oh, and Tokyo Reberl is hosting a harajuku photo contest, if that counts… http://blog.tokyorebel.com/2010/03/announcing-our-fashion-photo-contest.html

    You look flawless as usual. I fail at keeping up with the LA goth scene. But will I get to see you at the san jose lolita event. *0* I remember you featured the Angelic Pretty a couple years ago.

    Not that I know of… my travel schedule is too crazy for me to plan ahead, sadly…

    However, quite a few other people said they're going in the comments of this post – https://lacarmina.com/2010/03/goth-alic

    You'll have to let me know how it is!!
