Aprella.com where fashion and art collide

I still have entirely too much stuff in my closet. And therefore I am extending my eBay auctions for another two weeks !! Check the link below for a viewing of what's up for grabs!

Also, I've just updated the aprella.com Gallery with new images from the "Aprella Mansfield" photo shoot! More from this "Blonde Bombshell Session 1" will be up very soon!

It's a busy fun time at home in NYC. Fashion Week is just around the bend of next week and I've got fittings, shows, and photo shoots to do almost every day up till the 22nd.... and why the deadline of the 22nd? Well, I've got a flight to Europe to catch that day : ). Join me over in Europe won't you?!!

Emilie Autumn and the Bloody Crumpets will be touring all over Europe from late September to early November. Check my "EVENTS" for the full schedule and See YOU There!

I am very excited to announce that I will be walking the runway for New York City Artist and Designer Kathleen Marie this Saturday, August 23rd. The fashion show will be held as part of the Dances of Vice II events and located at the beautiful Montauk Club.

For this show Kathleen Marie Couture will be showcasing select gowns from her 2009 “Sacré-Cœur” (Sacred Heart) couture collection.

Dances of Vice Festival II, to take place from August 22-24, 2008 in New York City, and will be held in the extraordinary context of a "time-travel" costume ball with an 18th and 19th Century flair (all period costumes nevertheless welcome), inspired by the adventures of Baron Münchausen.

My closet is busting at the seams! So, My loss is your gain. I will be putting up new items on E-bay direct from my beloved exploding closet all this week... and next week... and maybe even the week after that! You can check out my Ebay Store by clicking the link below.

Thank you to everyone that sent such sweet messages and comments on my new blonde hair. I really appreeciate it. I am loving the change and it's lovely to know that you all seem to dig it too! Hurray for 1940's Glamour !

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..

Oh, and as of just 2 weeks ago… I am in fact a BLONDE. Veronica Lake look-alike photos coming soon. But, here’s a few candid shots from Las Vegas.

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!
