They told me I could be anything so I decided to do everything 💁🏻♀️ I’m so grateful I get to help make @albertatattooshows happen and that @stevepeacetattoos has also put up with my shit for 7 years. He puts his faith in me to do so many jobs, sometimes too many, but I wouldn’t be who I am without the gentle nudge to do things I didn’t think I could.

On December 13 2022, after a magical day in Brighton @daahliablack took me to the spot we first sat on the beach during my first day in the UK. He held me close and told me only a vampire could love me forever, then asked if I’d like to spend forever with him. I said yes ❤️💍🩸Louie I cannot wait for this lifetime of adventures together. Forever and always, your vampire bride 🖤

What really happens during show set up… 💀😂 WE ARE KIDDING (no floor snacks were eaten during the making of this video)
Running on no sleep, questionable decisions, and apparently… floor snacks. (Brought all the way from England because @hulahoops_uk are elite 🙌🏻)
If this is how we’re starting, just wait till doors open 😅🔥

8am flight? That’s not travel… that’s being removed from my coffin against my will. 🦇
Pale, dramatic, and rolling through the airport like I’ve got centuries of unresolved issues…. This @killstar coffin suitcase just makes sense.
No sunlight.
No eye contact.
No explanation.
Just me, my coffin, and absolutely no business being awake at this hour. 🖤

If there’s one consistent thing about my style… it’s that I love a chunky shoe. 🖤
Give me platforms, give me boots, give me something that makes me feel like I could stomp dramatically down a hallway… and I’m sold.
These new pieces from @koifootwear understood the assignment. From everyday chunky sneakers to statement platforms, they’re the perfect mix of comfortable and unapologetically bold — basically my entire personality in shoe form.
Which pair is your favourite? 👀

You won’t want to miss the incredible entertainment we’ve got lined up 🔥
12pm – fire & burlesque bringing the heat
2:15pm – bad tattoo contest (you have to see this 😅)
3:50pm – hot wing eating contest 🌶️
5pm – tattoo competitions showcasing the best in the game
Make sure you head over to the stage and soak it all in… this is where the energy is ⚡️
If there’s one consistent thing about my style… it’s that I love a chunky shoe. 🖤
So when these arrived from @koifootwear , you already know I was excited.
Platforms, bold silhouettes, and that perfect alt edge… they just pull every outfit together.
Whether I’m dressing up something simple or leaning fully into the gothic vibes, a chunky shoe always does the heavy lifting (literally).
Safe to say these are about to be on repeat. 🖤
