Seductive androgynous

I acknowledge the fact that these way too infrequent and low-quality posts of mine might be taking this blog to a direction it’s not meant to go, but I will try to keep sharing my vampirism with you anyway. I might be too honest here, and thus my failing shows through in my photos and writing.

As some of my readers already know, my inspirations usually strike at the worst possible time, like just after the sunset, in the middle of the night or when it’s too dark to take photos for some other reason. Vampire alter ego might have got the same sleeping pattern as the real things in classical vampire stories or something. Anyway, I ignored the bad photo shooting circumstances yesterday evening and decided to act on a stroke of inspiration I got from this photo:

(Photo credit to sargonnas, whose profile I saw this photo in for the first time.)  Kamijo is one of the Japanese rocker vampires I love the most. In case someone is unfamiliar with him, he’s the singer of a fabulous visual kei band called Versailles. Personally I love their music, their looks and their attitude (although I tend to lol at them for quite a bit), so I strongly recommend listening to them.

Anyway, I had the worst possible setting for my midnight inspiration; there wasn’t enough light, not to talk about my lack of clothes that would even try to match those of Kamijo’s. It was time to be creative, open-minded and prepared to do quite a bit of photoshopping. My end results were as follows:

(Lol at the beret, didn’t have anything even closely resembling a pirate hat…)

  See where the title of this post is coming from, yet? Yes, trying to imitate Kamijo results in provocative poses.

I’m not totally sure about where this one’s going, except for worse quality. Webcam, need I say more?

And here is a slightly more feminine photo from earlier that day night. I actually spent this evening trying to edit it as best as I could, and the process resulted in a blog post written way too late at night, with Yours truly being way too tired. So I’ll just apologize for this post full of nonsense and head to bed.

Until next bite again, my blood drops! ♥

Reanimating the inner vampire

It seems that this blog didn't take flight the way I had hoped. I apologize for that to all of you, my dear readers, and promise that I’ll be sharing my vampiristic thoughts with you more actively from now on. Other things than vampires have been occupying my mind in this all too hypocritical place they call real world. Well, I’m back now, trying my best to reawaken my vampire-self from her hibernation.

My wish is to make this blog a conversational one, so please feel free to share your opinions on anything related to vampires or to this blog. Respectful behaviour is advised, I do not wish to see a Twilight vs. anti-Twilight war in my comment box.

My love for aristocratic vampires has taken a leap towards all things noble – which shouldn’t be too surprising, since I have loved all princess-related things ever since I was a little girl. As I still don’t have any significant topics to write about, I will show you a few photos from yesterday. I was going for something like a princess in the garden, but ended up with a bit more gothic twist.

Our pool manages to ruin the feeling in that last photo…

I also took a few new balcony photos, wearing basically the same clothes as in my vampire photo shoot last summer. I wanted to go for a more vampire-like feeling here, but as I found a nice piece of lace I decided to veil my eyes and so the photos took a twist towards mystique. I think I ended up looking like a seer of some kind.

Well, I guess that was it for my appearance update. Now it’s your turn. What do you think about the appearances of vampires? Do you prefer your vampires as gothic or aristocratic or just like any average human? I prefer gothic and/or aristocratic myself, as you know, but I think their looks depend on their personas – same as humans, in that sense. However –and I don’t want to sound like a jerk here - in my opinion the vampires in the TV series True Blood look way too human. Especially the ones with beer bellies seem downright wrong to me. Is it just me or do too many human characteristics make vampires lose some of their unearthly charm?

Alright, that was really it. Until the next nightly encounter, my lovely vampire clan. Keep the comments coming and tell me if you are interested in editing my photo. I feel like they could use a hand of a talented photoshopper. Here is what Iiraliina came up with while editing a photo from my previous vampire photo shoot:

Thank you dear~ ♥
