Too Fast Drink Me Camille Tank

Summer means hot and hot means a camisole tank is a pretty handy garment to have in your wardrobe. But that doesn’t mean it has to be a boring or plain one. The Camille Tanks by Too Fast offer bright lace trim and dark and playful graphics to combat boringness (in this case neon purple and a potion illustration by Glitter Sniffer) and tunic length and a stretchy cotton spandex blend to optimize usefulness. Pair with leggings, cropped leggings, skinny jeans, capris, shorts, swimsuits, or just hot shorts underneath if you dare; versatile and season appropriate means the Drink Me Camille Tank by Too Fast is a must-have.

It is with a heavy heart that I write that Arielle Clements passed away June 18th, 2013 at the young age of 24. She was known as Relie Vicious, the model with piercing eyes who was extremely easy to photograph.

Photographed by Laura Dark for the Malice Aforethought beauty editorial in Auxiliary Magazine’s October/November 2010 Issue, Ohio Bat Girl, Dan Brunk of Fotographie X, Billie Stafford of Bloody Messy Girls, David Heasley of Cover Photography, and myself Emily Strange of Strange Photography: she was an inspiration to us all, a muse, and much more.

detail from Auxiliary Magazine’s October/November 2010 Malice Aforethought beauty editorial

Arielle was a ball of fire: fun, fierce, caring, beautiful, smart, wild, outgoing, she did what she wanted. In her short lived years she made sure to make an impact on the lives of everyone around her. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Her stories will be told, people will laugh for her, and that ball of fire she was will never burn out.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

To the ladies I say to you, have you ever wanted to be a “gothic princess”? To the boys, have you ever wanted to be the most dashing gentleman of the evening? To hell with modernity, live your fantasies on one special night or day for the photos you take will immortalize your special moment forever.

June, that wonderful time of year when young men and women move forth into the adult world. The senior prom is a seemingly timeless ritual symbolizing this coming of age. For most the time calls for elaborate gowns, for the ladies only the best will suffice. It’s your standard tuxedo for the young man as he pins flowers on his be-speckled date. For the wedding, it seems to be more of the same time after time. Overall it is more often than not the infamous ‘bridezilla’ who lends the most character to her wedding.

There still exists a dilemma for the young romantic or daydreamer in all of us. If your run of the mill designer dress (or menswear) is not enough, what can one do to make the formal occasion a memorable experience? Fortunately the marvelous romantic custom designs at Enigma Fashions cater to those seeking something more. Offering one of a kind formal wear of a more Victorian and Edwardian flavor to evening wear reminiscent of noir films of the 1930s and 40s.
