Out Outdoes Itself

 Dark, sleek, black leather clad with slicked back hair, this guy is a 21st century rock star.  Out Magazine’s story “Dark Days,” featured in the September issue, takes us on a sullen world tour of American, French, Italian, and English fashion.  John Varvatos and DSquared2’s leather pants…(no verb required). I see the nod to the…

Pastel Goth For Summer

Given Spring Summer fashion trends have us shifting to dark colors, dark florals, black leather, platforms, and pastel jeans, and Resort shows featured pastel as well, I thought, why not jumble it all together and revert to pastel goth? With the models of resort keeping the colored hair thing going, and my being bored of…

DIY Bold Hair Colors: Blue Hair (Or any color)

    I bleached her hair using 30vol developer and L’Oréal Super Oreal Blanc Powder Bleach, then dyed using Color Jamz in Not So Shy Violet (I find it deposits color more boldly than Manic Panic).

Street Style

Californian fashion muses express their style uniquely at the bar scene: on the left we see the sleeveless blazer look, on-trend for fall, to the right we see the continued evolution of menswear most evident in Asia. As with the unique Blazers we’re seeing come from unknown Asian designers, this shirt is original with its…

Devilishly Handsome

“It’s not right to be hellish” I picked a mishmash of items at the costume store: clip in horns, a bat fillagreé mask, cat tail, forever 21 moto PU leather leggings, a hot topic button up, aldo Schettini shoes with gold chain detail, and a Cellblock 13 harness. h

Makeup Master: Halloween

I figured Halloween would be the time to do the most dramatic eye make up, so my victim was my aunt. I did a smoky eye ombré from black to white, with a shimmery silver mid tone. I over dramatically contoured, giving her eyebrows and cheeks a very sharp angular look. I used a liquid…
