BeDeSeMe Magazine

Hi!

I have been recently featured in BeDeSeMe webzine, and I would like to share it with you.

http://bedeseme.com/pre.htm

this link drives you to the last month of the webzine, so if clicked later, it might be another issue. Mine is issue 8.

This week has been hard, a close person died recently, he was a family member and his lost means for me loosing a role model. And if that wasn't enough, a guy on the train tried to spit on me because I told him to use headphones (he was an analfabete-coarse looking guy putting his music loud). Sometimes I'm afraid foreigners think we are like that.

I'm kinda slowed down in some stuff, because of the family thing I lost a photo shoot and then rejected another two because I wasn't on the mood.

Anyway, along this post I am gonna put some pictures from a shoot done during February (not sure tho) but the pictures couldn't be sent to me earlier. The photographer is Tabaré, and the make up artist Silvia Gil. I personally liked the results.

I want to remind everybody that I am a model focused on alternative stuff, but metal is still one of my maximum goals. And if any band wants a model for a CD cover, for merchandise, for a video, or anything, I'd be glad to work for them. And I would also work on book covers.

Here I leave my mail for booking me or anything, but please, serious RifkaNoctisTemporvm@gmail.com

Do you like Theatre Des Vampires? it's not a band in my favourites, but I like a few things from them and I love the singer looks. This shoot kinda remind me of her, so I leave you the video for the song La Danse Macabre du Vampire. I just love to hear girls growling.

What I think about being true / Jane in Peril contest

Hi!

Lately I haven't been very active (not here, where is common, but in lots of places I am in), and I feel the need to work on more extreme stuff.

But anyway, I keep projects coming and that's something, and I am about to have my first "modeling birthday". And I honestly think that coming from the point "0" I have achieved a lot.

I am waiting for the pics from a shoot I made more than a month ago, but the photographer is too busy, so I'll show you in a couple of weeks =)

I have been thinking lately about the "true" metal stuff. What is really

to be "true"? If you only listen to metal and wear spikes they call you poser; if you like other stuff and dress whatever you like, they call you fake, and lots of examples could be.

I don't approve fanatism, not at all, not in religion, not in polytics, and not in music or lifestyle.

Some years ago you could like metal and act however you wanted, but right now it's kinda alarming how they can watch you and either say you are a kind person, so you can't listen to extreme stuff becaus that's for agressive people, or state that you are evil, "just like all those fucking satanic bastards".

I am aware that this could offend someone, but I felt the need to say it. I personally think that metal could be and could not be a lifestyle. It's a music anyone could like, and some of the styles called "metal" (which are actually VERY different from one to another) have certain message on their music, and a lifestyle behind it. The look, the thoughts...

For example, I like some kinds of ambient music, and sometimes I would like to listen to it, while I am lying on a bunch of pillows, with the windows opened and incense burning. And that doesn't mean I want to go hippie, live in the forest or go vegetarian.

People don't compare a writer's personality with what she story characters do, they don't insult a pop singer for singing about love and being a playboy in his real life.

I persnoally like extreme metal (black and death), wearing spikes and black clothing, taking bloody pictures on the photo shoots, going into the mosh pit and feeling the power of the people at a brutal concert.

I also like puting on extra long fetish heels, huging my little sister, wearing make up to feel prettier...

I hate cheesy stuff, typical teenagers movies, the discussions like "I love you-I love you

mooooreeee-no, I love you more!!! (etc.)".

I hate cheap violence (I could be agressive in certain situations, but just "being bad because it's cool" it something absolutely gross). I hate snuff, is someone wants to cut his/her own arm, ok, but never do it to someone who does not want to.

This is a resume of myself, I don't want to act as I am who I am not. I like metal, extreme metal specially, and I feel comfortable with the aggresive look, but I am a person, I am a girl and as most of them I like looking good and stuff like that.

I am not a girl who gets close with musicians to feel she's part of the band; when I was little I started studying music, my first instrument was the contrabass. I left music because I wa

s a stupid kid who wanted to do everything and after complaining for a couple of months, I started crying the same day I left, because I wanted to go back. Then I was 8. When I was 14, I started playing bass and taking from time to time my mother's guitar. When 18 I went to a few guitar lessons and singing.

I don't want to state myself as a music expert, in fact, I don't practice so I could sound pretty much like crap if you heard me playing. I just wanted to say that I really would like to be part of a metal band, I can kinda growl (still need lots of practice). I am not a groupie, I just like modeling and metal stuff, so I became a metal/alternative model; and I would really like to work on covers, merchandise stuff, etc. Not to lick anyone's butt, but to feel like I am doing something I enjoy.

Well, here I leave a couple of pictures, the first is from a fetish shoot with Daniel Poza, the second one is with Sivali D'Lirium, for the Jane in Peril contest in deviantart, started by Shadowyzman,

creator of the character.

News

This last two weeks I have been to some shoots, and I am satisfied with them, I'll be soon sharing some of the images with you all.

One of the shoots I had, was inspired in the comic girl Lady Mechanika, I didn't know her before, but I liked her style a lot!
The photographer was Raquel Jaramago, and she brought me the outfit. It was also there a friend of her who put my make up on and she did my hair, but I don't remember her name.

I joined the Ultravixens competition to be on the cover of the magazine, by the way, here I leave for you the link to my profile there: http://www.ultravixens.net/rifka

I am actually reading a book called "the power of sects" and it's a subject I am interested in, the way a group can influence on the individual, manipulate and destroy someone from the inside, doing horrible things and make that person still thing that's the best. Creepy, really creepy. Groups, support and receiving influences is awesome if you keep yourself thinking and being critical, not having ideals, or having them closed is suicide.
Influences enrich, brain washing kills, sorry if I get too philosophycal, but these kind of things have always been of my interest. How someone could do literally anything when pressend and brain washed, and brain washing is very very easy.

Well, let's talk about something more interesting, or at least, not worryfying: Melechesh. I don't know if you know that band, but I am amazed and I wish they come to Spain soon. They play some mix of black, death and sumerian folk. Incredible.




Now, here I leave you the Lady Mechanika inspired pic.




And I realized I finally didn't share here any from my gore shoot by Living Dead Division months ago, so I am posting it here also. The redhead is Kris Sirk.

Fifth Wound artworks

I think I will be every post saying how sorry I am about posting so far from time to time.

The Fifth Wound project images are finally done, I show them here but I can't give permission to anyone to use them because they are for the band.

I am working on upcoming tests right now for my studies, but also with different shoots, so great ^^

Samael concert and... I need votes =p

Yesterday was a concert in Madrid, they performed five bands: Nothnegal, Metsatöll, Rotting Christ, Samael and Finntroll; in this order.
I like Finntroll, but I went because of Samael and Rotting Christ.

They were amazing, all of them. In Metsatöll was a guy who played lots of instruments, incredible!! He was changing from song to song the instrument, can't say how many, but lots for sure!!
Then, Rotting was great, Sakis seemed to be nice and at the end someone gave him a shirt, he looked at it and took the shirt xD

Samael... don't have words, I liked the band, but just as another one, but when they were on stage they had something, don't know, the band was attractive, it made me focus on the band and nothing else.

When they finnished, I went to the restroom and I saw some big stairs going up, and I went up. There I saw the backstage, no door, but I didn't see anyone known there and I went back down to tell it to my friend.

Like ten minutes later I went back up to the stairs and after me Xy came, I told him I wanted a pick, so he gave me a shy smile and a black new pick with their new logo. So nice. A bit later, Vorph appeared and I saw him watching Finntroll on the stage through a glass.

I finally had a time to meet him, he was vey polite, I told him his brother was cool, that he gave me a pick... and then he gave me another one hahaha, but green, with the old logo and worn.

I think Samael has got a new fan, before the concert they were a band I liked, but after I thought they were amazing. I even lost Finntroll to see Vorph.




By the way... hahaha, would appreciate if you voted for me here http://gothgirlweek.blogspot.com/ on the left column, I am the one before the last one "Rifká".

Thanks for everything!! ^^

Back here

Hi, I would like to apologize for all these time without any posts; I have been kinda busy, but now I am having a little more time to spend on the web.

Tomorrow I am going to see live Finntroll, Samael, Rotting Christ, Metsatöll and Nothnegal; and it sounds pretty good.

So long time without any posts I feel like I can't write because everything is on the past hahaha, at least I am refreshing this a little, I'll try to keep writing more often.

Thanks!

Back... Goth Week and Goth Girl of the Week! xD

Hi!
