Event pics: Japan LA 3 Year anniversary

I had the lovely job of escorting Ms. Hello Kitty around at the party- and we had a blast! Some silly photos"

Photographer Dan Santoni also stopped by for some shenanigans! (www.dansantoni.com)


Also Junko! She's the designer for Purrr!, the brand my dress I wore for my pinup shoot!

Photoshoot: Pin-up Sailor

Recently, I went over to Santa Monica to do a fun pin-up inspired shoot with my friend Oscar of Divide By 0 Photography

True Mee Lee, aka yume_ninja, was such a integral part of putting together the outfit and hair... she even did my makeup for the shoot, as well as edited the first 4 photos you see below! She's truly a great friend, and great inspiration!

Love the results, so here's a peek at my favorite photos from the set!

Outfit of the Day: Altered Yukata

All dolled up for the Japan LA 3 Year Anniversary party I was helping at, I hiked up my summer yukata and got down to business!






Using the hairstyles of geisha from Sakuran as my hair inspiration, I was trying for a cute toned down version of it… I think I was somewhat successful..?

Events: Desolation Holiday Photo Gallery

You are cordially invited to “Desolation Holiday,” a photography gallery event hosted by Dan Santoni and Apollo Star. I’ve been helping them plan the event for the past few months and also working behind the scenes on Dan's photoshoots... I’m really excited for this event and.. YOU SHOULD BE TOO!

More info here:

“Desolation Holiday” celebrates the contradiction of glamour, beauty, and high fashion with the everyday baseness of the human condition.
Come celebrate a night of exquisite photography, and mingle with not only the photographers and subjects themselves, but also enjoy the spectacle of live sculptures exhibiting garments used in the photographs. The night will include photographs based around the theme, by a hand-selected group of accomplished photographers.
