HZ-15 Urban Apparel is a Poptropican clothing brand infusing the art of hip-hop with the motley fashion appetite of the younger Poptropican generation. Although my modeling niche is "vibrant haute couture", I was very excited to receive a call from the company's marketing director to take at least twenty pictures of me in a purple sweater, tennis shoes with blue accents, and big girl pants.
I flew from Los Angeles to San Miranda, Mainland Poptropica early in the morning. Once the plane finally landed in Poptropica, I took a taxi over the Maricruz Sulma Bridge to the Port Domingo Steel District where the photoshoot would occur. David Erck and Paola Cucomo, models I have worked with in a 7-Up photoshoot, welcomed me with open arms. We had time to waste before our noon appointment so we walked around the district "window shopping" welded material and discussed our lives like two elder-aged moms reminiscing grapevine stories. At 12:00 sharp, we speed walked back to the photoshoot location, fitted into samples of HZ-15's newest articles, and jumped onto the bed of a truck to take our photos. Unbeknownst, we had to look emotionless though we appeared more disappointed and glum (which isn't the actual case) after reviewing the final product. Haha! Afterward, a Subway sandwich lunch was on Paola's behalf.
In case any of you are wondering, HZ-15's 2015 line of new clothing will be distributed to select department stores in Poptropica in the beginning of October.
