Due to circumstances out of my control I am not part of the S. American Tour.
I am sorry if I've let anyone down that had expected to see me with the girls.
Please do know that I love you and.. don't listen to the rumors of me being injured..
I'm healthy and fine and working on MOVIES :) xox

My good friend Lori Earley
and I headed out to Atlantic City this weekend to visit
the writers of Dracula's Daughters Vs. The Space Brains
Zeke Zabrowski and Teller.
We also caught the Penn & Teller show at Harrah's Atlantic City.

Bill Moseley talks about DDVSB and
calls me "Awesome" haha. Well, I'm pretty sure I have Ghostworks to
thank for this one. I'm a Big fan of Bill Moseley and this video certainly
makes my day a happy one. Thanks to Mr. Bill Moseley and the
Ghostworks team.

My first Halloween in NYC (and the USA for that
matter) in over 4 years! Fun Fun!

Went out with some of my favorite friends
last night to see my much adored friends Gary Numan
and his beautiful wife Gemma. Gary Numan and his
band rocked Nokia in Times Square. Was great to
see, hear and catch up with them.

He was so nice, didn't even try to bite me.
I've been a fan of the theatrics in music since my 7 year
old eyes first got filled by the impressive fun of Alice Cooper.
I like seeing a SHOW with my live music ticket. If you are
like me and a fan of the old Hammer style films as well as
the 70's buckets of blood ones.. You'll appreciate their
shows and get the little clever references here and there
that come up and make you laugh and appreciate that you
stayed up too late at night as a kid watching classic horror movies.

Summer spot for a party. I was there along with
some of my favorite people ever for the Sex & The City 2
Party and to see the new Patricia Field swimwear line
launched.

The volcanic ash has grounded all
the planes. However, Virgin Atlantic was sweet and gave me this to fly home on.

Those of you in Melbourne I’ve been
having fun on your beach w/ Veronica
and Maggot all day... Now it’s time
to exchange the sand for glitter

Best Morning Ever! After years of
sticking my head to the glass at
aquariums wishing to be able to
jump in. I finally found a place that
said, OK.. you can swim with the
sharks! Australia, I couldn’t love you
more.

Also, We get back to our regularly
scheduled stage rages tonight.
At The Metro in Sydney.
Doors: 8PM

If you are ever with free time in Sydney take
a visit to the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
It’s so relaxing. I took a nap under a
waterfall.

The girls and I stayed for lunch at the Friendship
Garden where this handsome guy decided
that we needed his company.

After lunch Contessa and I took a stroll through what I
can only describe as the most surreal botanical
gardens I’ve ever been in. Tropical birds flew
right up to us to play and massive amounts
of GIANT bats swarmed around in the air above us.

Today our lovely tour manager Melissa
set us up with a visit to Featherdale.
My favorite part of the day was
getting to cuddle with a beautiful baby
roo roo.

Arrived in beautiful, warm, wish I lived here
Australia! We’ve got a few off days in
Sydney where I fully plan to live out my
dream of swimming with giant sharks and
cuddling with adorable kangaroos. Our
1st show in Sydney will be at:
The Metro on Thurs. March 18

13 hrs completed on the journey from London to Sydney and
we’ve stopped for a layover in beautiful Singapore.
Whre in my opinion they might just have
the best airport bar ever.

Thank you London! You made our last show
on the Euro/UK part of our tour a Sold Out
blast of unreal fun at Islington Academy
last night. What an amazing crowd!

Off on a early flight to Australia! Can you
say 26hr plane ride? Good thing We're excited!

Then we treated ourselves to a view
from the local Sheffield Eye where we found
Lush.. and purchased everything in it.
mmmmm Lush.... bath time after the show

Wow, what a fun few months it's been
Massive thank yous are indeed in order!
Thank you to all the USA EA fans that came out to visit us

On the night of the last EA show I flew directly to Los Angeles
to start work on a new film "Dracula's Daughters VS Space
Brains" Written by Ezekiel Zabrowski and Teller. Directed by Ezekiel
and Frank Ippolito.
I play Dracula's Daughter "Marketa". My sister "Marya"
is played by the beautiful Erica Taylor and my co-star "Dan"
is played by the amazingly talented Neil Patrick Harris.
I am ecstatic to be part of this.

Thank you to the amazing cast and crew! Oh, and
while at the Chiodo Brothers Studio Frank was kind enough
to let me hold the amazing Popcorn Gun! As a horror nerd that
adores "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" I was full of happy!
I got to be surrounded by amazing talent, I got to fly, I got to
hit a stunt man, and I got to hold THE popcorn gun! haha
Yeah.. life's kinda rad in Aprella land.

Also, the movie I told you about before that
I did with the amazing Oren Shai this summer

Two new interviews are out today. Gothic Beauty Magazine Issue 27 is living on stands now for purchase with a 3 page photo set and interview with me by Jonathan Williams. You can pick it up at most music and book stores or visit GB website http://www.gothicbeauty.com/subscribe3.html and buy it online now.

Also, my interview with IndanOs in Tel-Aviv, Israel is up for reading. Read Hebrew? Well then you can read my interview about my opinions on fashion, art, war and view the photos here:

For those of you speaking and reading English I’ve posted what I believe to be the cheat sheet to it below. Anyone that speaks/reads both can let me know what’s right/wrong.

Q: When did you start modeling? who was inspired you to do that? what is your memories from your first photo shoots?

A - I started out in the fashion world when I was about 12 years old in Birmingham, Alabama. I’ve always been inspired by the art of emotions and the needs to vent them. I was lucky in life that I found my courage in modeling. I recall my first photo shoot being a very big production with three make-up artists, two hair stylists, several racks of clothing, a jewelry stylist and the designer and photographer. I recall that all had their eyes on me and I wondered what on earth I’d gotten myself into. I was running in my head that they all paid for this and expected me to deliver something I didn’t know much about. But, soon as I got in front of the camera I realized I knew way more than I thought. Modeling is about expressing emotions and I’ve got no shortage of doing that. The job clicked in me and I found a brilliant tool for venting.

Q: As a model, being able to look and wear the latest and the most unique fashion, but also a very big direction of style,
what is the most attractive style for you? any favourite designer?

A- Absolutely! One of the best perks of being a model is the unique fashion that I get to come in contact with. Most attractive style for me is one that is classy, sexy, and unique. Favorite designers would be Jennifer Nicholson, Alexander McQueen, Veritee Hill, Kathleen Marie Couture, and Vivienne Westwood’s shoes make me drool.

Q: Your photos are very extreme and daring, involving nudity and very seducing poses, and a performer being into many roles, how do you get in to the role?
where is the glamour coming from?

A- haha.. thanks! Well, the nudity is usually covered in body paint and if you feel seduced well, I’ll just take that as a compliment. There’s no real method for getting into the role for me really. The “glamour” you see is me allowing myself to feel the feelings of the energy in me. I take my own memories and vent them out as emotions for the camera or stage. I just rage in and out of the many things that make up who I am. Above all I strive to deliver my emotions as a form of art.

Q: Outsiders looking at the whole gothic/fetish looks and fashion as weirdo’s having a personal problems, and very complex, how do you see those people?

A- I honestly don’t make time for people that have nothing but negative thoughts to share. I’m enjoying my life and I am happy.

Q: What's fashion for you? what is the fetish fashion and scene for you?

A- Fashion for me is a way of life. I wouldn’t know what to do without my closet full of dresses and floor full of shoes. I’m not a diva but, I sure enjoy dressing like one. As for the fetish fashion and scene for me I really don’t know. I just wonder around in the world where I find an interest. I don’t take much time to notice if it’s one scene or another. I just enjoy what I enjoy and do what I do.

Q: Can you tell me a bit about aprella outside the set? sitting at home? what do you like at your own private place?
how does your house looks like? is it extreme or like an escape place?

A- I spend time with my partner David Stoupakis and our amazing family of friends. I try to just relax but, I confess, I’m a major adrenaline junkie so I’m probably on the nearest roller coaster or motorcycle. Mostly, I just try to keep happy and try to make a dent in the world in a positive way. My home at the moment has a ton of boxes piled high as I’m about to move in a week. On a more normal day, I have tons of paintings on the walls and a beautiful Siamese cat that patrols the grounds.

Q: What about relationship, how does the model job effects it? what's your current status?

A- I only keep positive people around me so I only have supportive relationships in my world. Every great job I get comes with a giant hug and words of being proud of me from my partner David Stoupakis. I am gone from my home base NYC about 50% or more of the year and I am living my dream life. The ones closest to me know that and are very happy for me. My current status is Alive and Well.

Q: You're also been involved in the music business, not only as a model covering CD covers but also had some gigs with
Emily autumn, can you please tell me something about that, are you planning in making something of your own?

A – I’ve always been a girl with my heart stuck in music. It’s just part of me and I’ll never be without it in my life. At one time I had a metal band and since 2007 I’ve been part of the Emilie Autumn and The Bloody Crumpets tours as a back up singer and dancer. I love Emilie and the girls to no end. We share a very strong unbreakable bond and I’m very grateful to have such amazing girls to share stage rage time and insane tour bus pillow fights with.

Q: I heard that you've done some acting for Amnesty, what are your thoughts about the human rights today? have you heard about
Israel and the whole ongoing war between the jews and palastinians?

A- I did do a very powerful commercial about human rights for Amnesty International. My wishful ideas on human rights are centered about finding a common ground, cooperation and understanding that we are all pretty much the same in this world when it comes to the basics. We need to understand and come to a positive place of comfort with one another. Wars have never solved anything but to prove that one side can kill more than the other. And what’s that worth? Nothing. NOTHING! Wasted life depresses the fuck out of me. The whole world needs cooperation and training programmes in the administration of justice. Yes, I am aware of the wars. I just wish the wars were aware of how utterly useless they are.

A- Just be yourself and remember that it’s you living in that shell. Decorate it any way you want and remember to take care of it as well as the ones you love.

Big wishes of happiness to all of you for the holiday times! I’ve recently returned from being out in LA for photo shoots, gallery openings, having my face plaster molded so that there can be more than one of me Muhahaha!...and maybe a party or two with my lala land family of friends. While most of my days were spent running around from photo shoot to photo shoot of which I can't expose on the internet just yet you can take a look at the work I did with Aaron Hawks in the Aprella.com Gallery now. Also, I’ve left a few photos below to tease at what I might have been up to. Have a safe Happy New Year! I’m taking a stage break this New Year's Eve and plan to celebrate it right, left and center!
Love and lollipops,

The Vegas trip was AMAZING! Thank you to M Modern Gallery, 944 Magazine and Hard Rock Hotel for the invite. David and I had a great time at this years “Crimes on Canvas” show! My girl and amazing artist Lori Earley was also showing work at “Crimes on Canvas”. So of course she, John, David and I hit the 110 degree Vegas heat for fun together. But, who cares about the heat.. it’s VEGAS! and in the off time we had a blast riding roller coasters at New York New York and Circus Circus Adventuredome.

Jay and MiShell Nailor of M Modern Gallery are truly wonderful and made our time in Las Vegas memorable with a night of dinner at Kerry Simon’s new place Simon Restaurant at Palms Place where not only was the atmosphere and food amazing but for dessert we ordered what I could hardly believe seeing on the menu.. A Platter of Junk Food! Yep, Pink Cotton Candy, Caramel Popcorn, Hostess cupcakes, ice cream scoops, a chocolate milkshake and I’m sure I’m forgetting more..

May 10, 2008

Well, guess who hit the road without their brand new Aprella.com on their laptop to do updates?? So, allow me to say, "sorry" and boy do I have stores for you now that I’m back home.

My month long tour with Emilie Autumn and the Bloody Crumpets was met with one great night after the other and so many inside jokes created that we could start our own language of coded words. Our silly skulls hit the stages in Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and the UK to round out the 2nd leg of the Plague tour. Thank you to everyone that came out to get infected. Some of you even stayed hours after just to make sure you got a C.O.A that you officially got it. Wow. I really do appreciate all the love.

Now, it’s photos to edit, e-mails to answer, and maybe a few hours of much needed sleep

Be back soon.

......................................................................

Welcome to the new Aprella.com!

First things first; Thank you to Morgana of www.iberianblackarts.com for designing the new site. And thank you to David Stoupakis of www.davidstoupakis.com for helping me so much with getting this all together and for being my constant comfort in my life.

I’ve spent the better part of the last year creating some amazing work with insanely talented artists, walking some long ass catwalks in front of giant crowds, and I’ve also been touring the world as a back up singer and performance artist with Emilie Autumn and the Bloody Crumpets. I’ve had some of the best days of my life singing on no sleep with these lovely ladies and come April 2008 I’m out for it again! So watch out for The Plague Pt. 2 tour Europe! Check my Events for the dates.

The year 2007 was one of the busiest years of my life so far. I found myself working in another country at least one week of every month of 2007. While that schedule is more of the same for this year at least now I have a better idea on where my down time is and I can update more knowing that. So no more slacking off with updates!

Alright, so go have a look around. Check out the store for official Aprella.com merchandise. And see you all soon!
