My friend Lavinia Laced and I co-produced a Love Witch-themed shoot with Marilee Caruso, and the results are in Pinup Nouveau magazine’s Halloween issue, Volume 1! We even got a cover!
Both of us are big fans of Anna Biller’s 2016 horror-comedy film, The Love Witch, so naturally we wanted to portray our own versions of the titular “love witch” from the movie – Elaine. We collected our spell-casting props and planned wardrobe while Marilee put together a great set reminiscent of Elaine’s apartment in the film.
Marilee’s amazing late-1960’s-inspired makeup and hair work incorporated both of Elaine’s eyeshadow looks – vintage turquoise blue for Lavinia and purple for me! In all, I think the three of us captured the bright, saturated technicolor look of the movie, which is visually reminiscent of the colorful Hammer Horror films of the 1950s and 1960s.
As always, you can order this issue and all of my other publications via my Linktree.
