First of all thank you to all that so very sweetly sent me gifts and letters for Holiday Happy Times. I'm really thankful for the kindness.

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 year and plan to celebrate it right, left and center!
Love and lollipops,
~Aprella

Hello folks.. My Amazing and Talented friends of The Goldmine Shithouse will be doing up a little screen party this weekend in the Bay Area. It is this Saturday 21st at the McCaig Welles-Rosenthal project space in Redwood City outside San Fran.. They will have a bunch of designs to print on your stuff..please bring your own and for 5 bucks each, those wacky ducks will make it nice!It is a bit outside the city so if you have some adventure in your blood and want to hang with the 3 of my best friends, the 3 artists that make up the Goldmine Shithouse (at your own risk..), then please do go support them if you can.. I've got tons of shirts screened by them and they are all bad ass.
hey, besides the coolness of original screened up goodies... its a party..wee booze and tacos provided! It's Shithouse's fist time out there and a prelude to their residency at the new gallery which will be in San Fran this September.

Saturday the 21st at
900 Broadway Redwood City 7pm till close..my guess 11 or so.

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.
