PALOVINA  HEY THERE, THEY CALL ME CARSEN, CARS AND I'M CURRENTLY 20 YEARS OLD. I'M PART OF THE CREW AND I'M A MERCH GIRL FOR [WAKE FOR YOUNG SOULS]. ------------------------------------------------- HEY. HOW OLD ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO ON THIS TOUR? “Hey! I’m 20 years old and I do merch and online modeling of all things WFYS. The name’s Carsen, put ‘er there.” HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS AS A LIVING? WHY? WERE YOU ALWAYS GOOD AT IT? “What, merch? No, not exactly. But modeling yeah! I got started on modeling as a kid, like doing catalogues and stuff my mom put me into. My mom just gushed over the idea after my first shoot and after that it was just modeling modeling modeling. And I mean, I guess I was good at it if I could get gigs. I did that all through high school and landed a job modeling merch for a few bands when I was 18, one of which was WFYS. And they actually came by the shoot to check out the stuff and that’s how I met them. I guess you could say we hit it off pretty well because after that I was asked to go on tour with them and sell their stuff. Honestly, though, I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else. I love what I do, I love meeting the fans and seeing how happy they are to get a t-shirt or CD or hat or something from a band they love so much..it’s sort of touching you know? Plus Im just a people person so I love talking to them all.” –smiles- GREAT! SO YOU’VE BEEN DESCRIBED TO US BY A FEW FRIENDS ON TOUR AS ‘ONE OF THE GUYS’. CAN YOU ELABORATE ON WHY THAT MAY BE? “Oh, that’s really cool!” –laughs- “Um, I don’t know it might have something to do with the skateboarding? I do tend to be one of the guys at times, which is part of what I think makes me and Johnny click so well” –smiles- “He’s got a sensitive side and Ive got my manly side and it just sort of works for us” –laughs- “Anyhow, yeah I’m a skate boarder and I do my fair share of rocking out as hard as possible. I have this thing whee when I get all scraped and bruised up from something I show it off like I’m a 12 year old boy instead of freaking out.” –shrugs- “I don’t know I’m just not the girliest of girls but I’m not a total butch either.” WELL THAT’S GOT TO ATTRACT THE GUYS. HOW MANY MEN DO YOU HAVE UNDER YOUR BELT? “Uh, I guess? I don’t really know what this has to do with the tour but..I’ve only dated a few guys in my time. Two other than Johnny actually and I mean, I can honestly blame it on commitment issues. With the whole childhood modeling thing there was obviously the perk of payment and I encountered a lot of fake people who used me for status or money and I just turned me off to dating for a while. Of course, then I met Johnny and that changed a world of things for me.” YES, WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT YOU AND JOHNNY CROSS ARE GOING TO TIE THE KNOT. GIVE US SOME INSIGHT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP? “Oh, yeah.” –smiles happily- “Well, obviously our relationship isn’t a secret but it’s not really something we publicize a lot. So the basics of it are that Johnny and I have been dating for just over a year and we’ve known each other about two years. Um, I don’t know what to say really. We mesh really well together and always find ways to make each other laugh and smile. Honestly, he’s one of the most genuine people I know and I can always depend on him when I need to. That in itself means so much to me. I’ve known for a while that I am the luckiest girl in the world to be with him and I couldn’t be happier knowing that I’m going to spend the rest of my life with him. Also, it helps that’s he’s adorably romantic. He has a thing for romantic comedies so you could say he makes our relationship like a fairytale” –laughs- “Ah, how cheesy. I love it. I love every minute of it all.” COOL COOL, AND YOU’RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT MOVING TOO FAST? YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY YOUNG.” “Well, yeah we are young but we both have our maturity working for us. I mean, I know I act like I’m 12 a lot of the time but when it comes down to things, I can be an adult and he’s just the same. I am perfectly confident in our relationship so am I worried about getting married before I can legally drink? Not at all” AWESOME! SO HERE’S A CONTROVERSIAL ONE. WHAT’S YOUR POSITION ON GAY RIGHTS? “Well, I grew up with a gay uncle and he was just the most wonderful person to me. But I always felt terrible because he and his partner, were never able to get married. Not for the longest time and it’s just something I’ve always wanted to understand. Being discriminated against because of your sexuality makes no sense to me at all. I mean, its like saying you don’t have a certain right because your hair is blond. It’s not exactly something you plan on. You don’t just wake up and decide to be gay. So personally, I’m fully supportive in legalizing gay marriage. I believe that two men or two women have every right to be happy together in a relationship sharing the same last name and family life together because there’s not a single thing wrong with it.” –laughs- “I just feel like people are afraid of that because they’re ignorant and don’t understand it. So anyone who’s not educated about homosexuality and gay rights, go out there and understand. Don’t live in the dark because it’s different. Different is good.” WOW YOU SEEM PRETTY PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT. WHAT BAND ON TOUR WOULD YOU SAY HAS THE MOST PASSIONATE MEMBERS? “I am.” –laughs- “But that’s a hard one. I mean, of course I want to say WFYS. They’re great guys and they all come from small time backgrounds and just rose from the ashes to become some really great musicians. But I mean, there’s Long December and the guys in Lay Me Down are pretty passionate. I think in their own way, everyone here is passionate about what they do whether it be from performing to doing something like selling merch like I do. Everyone here is here for a reason and it’s just a really large family and you couldn’t just pick the most passionate because they all are equeally in their own different ways.” VERY SWEET. WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. CONGRATS ON THE ENGAGEMENT. WE’LL CATCH YOU NEXT TIME. |
