Count D has a dramatic stone-and-moss garden and keeps a silver skull in his bedroom. All of the above took part in this twilight photoshoot.
I wore a black mask as a headband, netting me several compliments from strangers. Masquerade and ritual masks are my current favorite hair accessory. They create an uncanny yet festive effect, and look like a little hat or hair decoration from afar. Perhaps I'll make a Venetian feathered mask with a cat face or long nose to wear on my head...
Mask: from Camden Market, London
Silver cross necklace: a "Kiyo" handbag tag that I wear as a pendant
Corset top: Spider, a Hong Kong Lolita designer
Black lace skirt: Vintage Betsey Johnson
A crinoline petticoat (not pictured, obviously) puffs a straight lace skirt into the classic Lolita bell shape.
Darkness falls... the iron gates unlock... vampires come out to feed.
An enticing closeup: silver skull, black nail polish, lace skirt hem over milky thighs. I made the jagged bracelet by wrapping black lace around my wrist.
