Macabre Models

My lack of creativity and huge lazyness while thinking titles shows up. Guess what's first to say...

No, the first thing to say is I went the first in the ultravixens competition and suddenly the second was again the first... it's one of the most important competitions I have been till now and the deadline of the voting is still far so I wish I could get, and then keep myself first until then, please, it's really important to me... http://www.ultravixens.net/competition/

And now, what about Macabre Models: I want to tell you all I am one of the winners from the Macabre Models contest, and I will be one of the 6 faces representing them =) The others who already won are Demoniccunt (also owner) and Tara Stuart, who have their logos, mine will be up on Friday.

These days I am feeling weird, I don't know why, probably a lot of things mixed together, as most feelings are... It's hard to get far in a clean way, interests are behind everything, in most places are the rotting pieces spreadding the rot; that's one of the things concerning me, I am a humanist, but being a humanist doesn't mean defending people over everything, I think people is interesting to study, awesome as specie, and powerful; but that doesn't make me feel we are worthy. Take a look around and see for yourself. If you believe in a god, he's/she's/it's either not powerful or not good.

I already posted it on my first entry, but I'll refresh it a little since I think most people hasn't read my first entry. These are some of the places I am in:

Don't try lo look for my FB profile because it's full and I can't add anyone T.T

The first picture is from the nun shoot in Foxá, by Carlos Sesmero (make up by Natashwartz), I told you we lost the line that day and the pic wasn't at all what we planeed. I wish I had remember before to remove the hairband from mi wrist, because I like the pic in general...

The second one is the other one from the "Jane in Peril" shoot, by Sivali (also make up).

And the third one: yeah, nun shoot, by Arturo Carrasco. Hope you liked them.

I feel like this post has had a really bad redaction and little information, and I feel bad about people reading my blog and seeing less than what they expected, so I'll leave here a video, it's a bit NS, but the song is amazing:

And I want to remember everybody that if they have a metal band, and they want a model for promoting merchanise, shoots for album covers or anything, just send me an email to RifkaNoctisTemporvm@gmail.com, I wish I'll make my webpage soon, and in that email I only accept stuff related to my modeling.

And to bands from Madrid, If you play extreme metal, and need a bass player, here I am (still not good enough at guitar and growling).

Mosh Party, ultravixens, and nuns.

These weekend has been full of news and interesting stuff ;) I didn't even have time to study so tomorrow I'll be completely busy.

This Friday was the Mosh Party, we listened to Under Vultures (grind, black, punk); Carnivore Diprosopus (colombian slam brutality); Cuernos de Chivo (death hardcore metal) and Wormed (sci-fi death metal).

I have been one of the eight ultravixens selected this month, and I would love to be the winner so I need your vote here http://www.ultravixens.net/competition/ and I would also like you to spread this because I need a lot of help!

And today Sunday I had a nun shoot ;) This was like a summary, now I'll tell you everything in detail.

The Mosh Party was nice, but if I am honest, I expected a bigger mosh. Sadly there isn't a big metal community here, comparing to other countries in Europe, and in small concerts people hardly get enough motivation to mosh. But the bands were insane =)

I went while Under Vultures were performing, the singer at a point said "believe it or not, but we just played three songs non-stop". He was right, I just heard about 10 minutes of crazy guitars and growling under a frenetic drum hitting and, of course, bass.

In Carnivore Diprosopus was a guy with a mask running around the stage, and I would say a quote or something from him, but mixing semi growled voice and colombian accent made an absolutely impossible to understand result.

While Carnivore Diprosopus were singing, I saw around Phlegeton, and I went to talk to him. I did never meet him before but we talked online some times the last months: he is the singer (growler) in Wormed and Human Mincer, artist in Phlegeton Art Studio (extreme CD cover designer), photographer, drummer... It was nice to finally know him personally, he's really kind and he gave a CD to my bf and another for me.

Then, Cuernos de Chivo, they played a really good cover of Hammer Smashed Face (Cannibal Corpse), and the singer seems to be nice, he was a kind of homie of a friend who came with us to the concert. His quotes are funny, such as "we are going to play a new song, and if you like it cool, if you don't, then throw us a bottle or something", "our next song is called corpse bride (maybe corpse girlfriend, cause in Spanish it's the same) and it's about that, a corpse bride!". But the best bit was right after playing a song called "Rallas" (means one of each lines of cocaine druggies inhale); and while he was singing, the room started smelling like marijuana, at the end, he says "it smells like drugs here, and that's what it was about: drugs!".

To close the concert, Wormed played, with Phlegeton leading. He is also the drummer, but not live because he would probably end the concert in ambulance if he tried to do so. Playing and singing death metal at the same time in a concert is not exactly easy.

I don't think he said anything, if he did, it was growling, so don't expect me to understand it.

Then was really the mosh thing. I got a spike-lip pearcing nailed on my hand, but the guy was nice and after the mosh came to say sorry about it, and it was cool, because I was wandering what the hell happened to my hand xD

Now it would go the Ultravixen competition thing, but with what I said at the beginning, I thinkit's enough.

Today I had a nun shoot at Foxá M-30 hotel in Madrid, in the chapelle. There they collect antiques, and it was a nice atrezzo for the shoot.

I met there an alt. and cyber model called Ruby Machine, she was cool and I'd like to work with her again in the future.

I'll not tell details from the shoot because I'll show you the pictures when ready ;) I'll only say that we finally lost the direction and half the pics were not at all how he planned, but improvised stuff is fucking great.

The pics: Lady Mechanika by Raquel Jaramago, Wind by Sivaly and Fifth Wound shirt shoot by Sivali.

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!! ^^
