Vanity Kills

Hello Model Mayhem,

My name is Vanity Kills and I'm a published(see credits) alternative model from Washington DC

TF work is limited to:

-Tear sheets
-Trade for wardrobe
-Collaborative work for my on-going project with Lip Service. See casting call for details.
-Collaborating with exquisitely talented individuals whose work will truly benefit my portfolio.

My rates are EXTREMELY reasonable. Feel free to inquire within

I am interested in doing primarily fashion work, as well as clothed fetish work[latex and rubber couture]. I am EXTREMELY open to horror and gore themes**** I am NOT currently interested in doing any nudity/implied nudity/lingerie/etc****

Will travel outside of the Washington DC/Northern Virginia/Maryland and Northern NJ area with paid travel expenses only. Exceptions for guaranteed tear sheets. Don't ask me to travel 200 miles on my dime. I will not waste your time, do not waste mine.


I currently have shoulder length bright red/black hair with side bangs.
I have wigs and hair pieces that can drastically alter my appearance.

My eyebrows are shaved.

I currently have one facial piercing[14 g septum] which can be removed upon request.

Tattoos: One Ant Zen logo tattoo [ant/brackets] on my left upper arm[3" lengthwise].Lex from the comic Gloom Cookie on my left bicep [about 6 inches long].Lex and Max from Gloom Cookie on my right bicep [about 10-12 inches long]. I do not object to my tattoos being digitally removed or covered with makeup. The model is merely a canvas for the artist after all.

My wardrobe is extremely diverse. I have corsets, platforms of extreme height, fetish wear, military uniform-esque  garb, post Apocalyptic ensembles, cybergoth/android princess apparel , pinup/cheesecake/gothabilly/Stepford Wife outfits and all manner of gothic/Victorian attire at my disposal. Thus I can easily switch back and forth between complimentary or contrasting looks amid the duration of a single shoot.

I adapt easily to a variety of alternative styles such as, but not limited to: Gothic/Cyber/Fetish/Industrial/Retro/Cheesecake/Post Apocalyptic. I am always open to new suggestions and ideas.

I am more than capable of performing MUA duties, but I am not fussy when others do my makeup. This is YOUR shoot and my job is to POSE, not criticize, dissect the technique of or otherwise harass your makeup artist. Likewise I prefer to work with people who check their egos at the door.

I am also a busy freelance writer.

I have written fashion/lifestyle articles for Auxiliary Magazine, I have a running love advice column for Lip Service(Yes, the cool clothing label) called “Lethal Love”, I write electronic music reviews for Connexion Bizarre and makeup tutorials for UK based print magazine “Alt Fashion”. I have also reported on 2004’s Gothic Icon pageant which I have created and promoted in Issue #18 of Gothic Beauty Magazine.

Due to my work schedule I prefer to shoot on weekends.
