Although altogether difference in terms of atmosphere and tone, there&#8217;s a part of me that thinks that that video was somewhere in the back of my mind when we put things together for this shoot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/bia6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"bia6\" src=\"https:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/bia6-721x1024.jpg\" width=\"464\" height=\"659\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I held on to these images for a while. It was my first shoot with a new Nikon and without even a day to toy around with it ahead of time, I failed to realize my camera settings were out of wack, and so I was a little bummed out about the image quality. That aside, I do think some of the images came out pretty nice nonetheless, and my model, Bianca Di Paolo, did a lovely job prancing about with a bundle of balloons amidst the rubble on a windy day. And ain&#8217;t that the cutest damn pixie cut you&#8217;ve ever seen?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Bia4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bia4\" src=\"https:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Bia4-1024x685.jpg\" width=\"465\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This outfit is a combination of thrifted and offbrand pieces, with the exception of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ironfistclothing.com\/\">Iron Fist<\/a> blazer. And even though these pics still play upon the whole black and red goth thing I love to work with so much, note that it&#8217;s more playful than that usual moody\/broody thing I do. There seems to have been a disturbance in the force, my friend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Bia2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bia2\" src=\"https:\/\/petephillipsonline.com\/fashionvandals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Bia2-685x1024.jpg\" width=\"464\" height=\"693\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t exactly know how or when it happened, but in the last few months my love of all things dark and spooky seems to have taken a backseat to cuteness and kawaii culture. I think I took these pictures just about when the shift started to occur, so you can only see traces, but I&#8217;ll show you later this week just how unexpectedly deep I&#8217;ve delved into the world of kawaii. I&#8217;ve been wearing bows and pink and doing lots of cutesy poses and using too many emoticons (^_^)&#8230;I don&#8217;t know what the hell&#8217;s going on here.
