Mel's custom commissions include- well...some rather interesting orders such as the sample you see here:

Akasha, Queen of the Damned
(from the film with the same title and novel by Anne Rice).


We live in Utah, so perhaps that's the reason Mel labeled her 2009 version "Queen of the Danged Kitchen."

Assemblage, sculpture, welded metal, wire, jewels, beads
and fabric: $400

Hair, makeup, custom fangs and modeling:
Myndy Jean

Ah, true love.

Our outdoor shoot in the parking lot at Pierpont Avenue caused quite a commotion. Click here for fun snapshots of Rocketdolls photgrapher Robert Hirschi and crew taking these pics. It nearly caused some car crashes on 300 West!
