acid_poptart's on the cover of her local paper as the "Queen of Halloween"!:

You might recognize her outfit from this post. It's the custom VooDoo Baby dress I created for her ~ a combination of Beetlejuice and Morticia Addams...



Can you believe with the way the green glows, this *wasn't* taken with a black light?





Congratulations PopTart! :)

That looks great! I love green, but would have never thought of mixing the stripes and it.

Congrats to both of you =)

Thanks :) It was quite the pile of fabrics I was selecting that day... a bit of a departure from all the luxurious blacks and deep purples :) I think I even took PopTart back a bit by just how intense the green was ~ she can pull it off no problem though!

Yep-I saw that when I picked up a copy yesterday. :)

That's great! She certainly made for a *very* noticeable cover... PopTart said she picked up an extra copy for me, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person ~ I'm glad you got a copy too :)

What lighting was used if it wasn't blacklight then?

SWEET! Congrats!

You'd have to ask PopTart ~ she may know :) It's interesting that the green glows, but the white didn't... you'd think it would be the other way around.

She didn't know in advance they were shooting her for the cover, so it was a pretty big surprise! :)

That makes it even more enjoyable!

We shot with Alien Bees 1600 lights, one with barn doors and blue gel which was cast on the white backdrop behind me, and then the softbox was in front and to the side of me. Pretty standard model lighting, so it's absolutely freaky that the green glowed like this! I do think the blue helped it stand out in this way. Because we shot some without the blue, and although the green is immensely bright, it didn't quite glow like this.
