Happy Birthday to me!
Last week I brought my entire A*Voyce collection to the coolest new apparel store in Ventura called CERIA, the ONLY store that is currently carrying my clothing!
In a way, It was all because of CERIA that I created the line in the first place! My friend Wil Corpus is the co-owner of CERIA, and when he was in the process of opening the store we discussed the possibility of maybe selling some of my designs there…. A few months later, HERE WE ARE!
A*Voyce was born and now the line is available for sale EXCLUSIVELY at CERIA!
It was a really huge for me to finally bring the clothes to the store… after all the hard work it was SO exciting to see my clothes hanging on the rack, in a for-real super- hip clothing store, with for-real price tags and everything!
I really have to thank Wil for all the support, and I REALLY hope the clothes do well at his place!
Thanks,Wil!

Check out the EVIL ANGEL trailer:
*This trailer contains nudity*
….. which brings me to a point I think I should discuss here on my website, just so that it’s out there. I wanted to let everyone know that although my character “Carla” is shown nude many times in this film, I DID NOT do the nudity. It was a body double. It was a personal choice that I made at the time because I wasn’t comfortable with it enough to do it myself. It was NOT because I disagree with it, or have any sort of problem with it in the creative sense… it was just a personal choice that I made. I wanted to do this movie so badly, and I was so excited with the opportunity to play the role of “Carla”, and I was SO grateful to Richard Dutcher (the writer/director of the film) that he agreed to put himself through all the extra time and work to accommodate my request. I think he did an incredible job making the movie look seamless!! I’m very proud of this film…. and I hope you guys check it out!!
Yesterday was a very powerful day that I was honored to be a part of….
A couple of weeks ago I got a call from my friend Wendy asking if I would help her out by singing at a memorial service she was helping to organize for some friends of hers. She went on to tell me the heartbreaking story of her good friends Lenore and Zen and their beautiful and brave 3 1/2 year-old son, Hunter, who had lost his long and painful battle with leukemia about a month ago. The memorial service was to be a celebration of his life, a gathering of friends and family who want to show their love and support and remember Hunter…
Of course, I said yes without hesitating.
I think it’s almost impossible not to feel moved and saddened by a story like this, but at first I didn’t know much about them other than what Wendy had told me. I had never met Lenore or Zen, and did not have the pleasure of knowing Hunter. So I went to the blog they had created during Hunter’s battle, HeaingHunter.com, to learn more about them.
The website was created as a place for support during his fight, for words of encouragement where people could help to rally with prayers and hope, and donate money to help the fight continue…. but of course, by the time I got to the blog, the fight was over. Suddenly I was immersed in the unbelievable sadness of what this family had experienced…
There were pictures of little Hunter from all stages of his life, and disease…. the times where he fought for his life, as well as the times of remission. The words of heartbroken parents trying to express the magnitude of Hunter’s fate… this little boy had endured 4 rounds of chemo-therepy and every amount of extreme measures they could possibly take to save him. But as hard as “Iron Hunter” fought, I was now reading about “The Death of a Superhero” and how these loving, incredible parents now had to deal with it all being over. I honestly can’t verbalize it in a way that’s appropriate… I was crushed, and I didn’t even know them. I didn’t have to go through the 2 years of ups and downs, hope and pain… I spent only a few minutes inside a window of their lives, and it was almost too much for me to bear…
I had asked my songwriting partner, and good friend Lucy Graves to accompany me for the performance, and she too felt suddenly immersed in the sadness of what they went through… as I said, it’s nearly impossible not to be moved by their story and the incredible strength of this family.
They had requested “Woman’s Work” and “In the Arms of an Angel” to be sung at the memorial, in-between eulogies from friends and family… It was a beautiful event, but also overwhelming at times. Pictures of Hunter were placed all around the home, and home videos played on tvs. There were a lot of people crying ad grieving for the loss, but also some smiling at stories and good memories.
The memorial was powerful, and I felt truly honored to have been a part of it. I really hope that Lucy and I were able to add something special to an already special occasion, and that the celebration was everything they hoped it would be.
“Hunter spread his love and joy far and wide and it was well received by many. And for that, we are forever grateful he was here for all of us to cherish.”
One of the most inspiring parts of the story… Lenore and Zen are pregnant and will be blessed with another child this summer. No one is more deserving.
Tomorrow night the apparel store CERIA will be having it’s grand opening event!! The night will be SICK; in store appearances by B.O.B, OHNO, REY FRESCO, MIKE POSNER, and DJ’s ALL NIGHT!! My friend Wil is one of the owners and I know first hand that this place is going to be DOPE! CERIA is a concept shop that specializes in streetwear, high end sneakers, and rare finds “for men & women who primarily seek out the illest hard to find product that pertains to their particular lifestyle.” Check out the description below for more info on the store, and go to their website!!!
Tomorrow will be a special night for me too, because in a few months (maybe less) a special line of my clothing designs will be sold exclusively at CERIA!! This will be the first time my designs will be sold in a retail setting, and I’m really excited! I’m working hard on developing the pieces that will be sold there and will let you know more about that very soon! In the meantime check out the info on the store, and come down to the opening night event!!
“Carnicerias are known throughout the west coast, particularly in the Latino community as a market to get anything you need in a setting that is fun, makes you feel at home or simply dubbed “your neighborhood specialty store.” Carnicerias serve as being your inside source for goods you can’t find in typical grocery stores making the roots of the culture more accessible. We intend on operating by these same standards bringing you limited edition, one-of-a-kind footwear and men’s & women’s clothing. We intend on bringing you brands not typically found in any apparel shop obliging to the same reasons why carnicerias were formed. At Ceria, you’ll be able to learn about the roots of a brand you purchase and be surrounded by the music and art that fuels it’s creativity. Your favorite brands are not just sold, but showcased in our unique setting, store layout and display cases.
Ceria feels like that familiar place most people recognize to be their local carniceria only to find a much more unique experience. We’ve ensured that our space brings you that Carniceria feel. We know Ceria will just be a shop to our regular customers, but we will provide unfamiliar customers with an experience of that all but familiar feel of “your neighborhood specialty store….the carniceria.”
Ceria is located in historic downtown Ventura, CA just blocks away from The Ventura Beaches. We are right across the street from Urban Outfitters and American Apparel. Stay up to date with our blog for event happenings and exclusive offers.”
