Blog's Future & Surfside Interview

Our wondrous blog correspondent, Janine De Michelis, has recorded every step of Nathan, Penelope, the incredible fashionistas of Fashion Fever, and I's path in the fashion industry for five fantastic years. De Michelis's incredible efforts to post every event of our Poptropican lives into a blog montage has touched many fashion fanatics', including mine's, heart. It is a very disappointing loss to hear about De Michelis's resignation, but she stated with an open heart, "the opportunity of a lifetime to become an editor in the Los Angeles Sun came up and I just had to go for my childhood dream". As she ventures onto another interface, we will truly miss her as a blogger, a mom, and mostly as a genuine person I have known since 2007. For now, I will bring you the latest news, facts, and truths.

The spring season has closed shop for the year, thus summer has begun and humidifying the temperate Los Angeles County weather; what better way to celebrate the birth of a new season by traveling to the beach. Before we started the mini road trip, Nathan Devilman and I changed into bathing suits. I wore a peach & pink two-piece I designed myself, and Nathan donned a pair of swimming trunks he bought at Suburbian. We packed the sandwiches, the camera, a sense of direction, and before time knew it, we were off to Malibu!

Once we arrived at the beach, the adventure was in our hands. First, we took some photos near iconic scenes including the stretch of valley facing north, the sky blue lifeguard tower, and the foamy sea washing up against our toes. The panoramic view of the area looked absolutely stunning!

We went on a quick stroll along the shoreline before eating our tomato, lettuce, & feta sandwich on our picnic blanket. When the bright afternoon sun made our feet feel like rods on top of hot metal, we dove into the Pacific Ocean to cool off. After our swim, a gracious Fashion Fever fan named Barbara wanted to interview us. We glad gave out our honest answers. Sadly, she didn't want to be in our picture, but she is an amazing person.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT:

Barbara: So PoptropicaStars, when is the new summer collection coming out in stores?

I: My summer collection for this year will be delivered to Kohl's and Madeline's Closet stores throughout Poptropica next week, to be estimated.

Barbara: That sounds great, also, what would you recommend for me to wear to my daughter's wedding ceremony?
I: Considering it's the start of summer, I'd suggest a modest, vibrant top paired with a knee-length skirt. If the ceremony is outdoors, put on some sunscreen and wear something light to not cause too much sweating. If it's indoors, then there's a buffet of choices offered to you.

Barbara: Why, thank you. One last thing, did you design you and Nathan's swimwear because it looks gorgeous.

I: I actually designed this two-piece at home using neoprene to add comfort on [the inside] and the outer designs are made of strong fibers called lycra. I believe Nathan bought his trunks at Suburbian, I think?
Nathan: Yeah, from Suburbian.

Barbara: Alrighty, thanks PoptropicaStars and Nathan. Have a great day!
I & Nathan: See you, have a fantastic day!

16th Annual Health & Wellness Week In Poptropica

Yoga... check! Fruit and vegetable juice... check! Training for a marathon... most definitely! Six days prior to Easter Sunday, the city of Ellisburg in Mainland Poptropica hosts the annual Health & Wellness Week to promote healthy living within the community. A city known for stepping up against obesity, the Ellisburg mayor, Connie J. Tayelor, even temporarily banned the distributing of soft drinks, greasy fast foods, and candy in select stores within the city limits just for this special occasion. Each year citizens come from all over Poptropica to participate in the organized events throughout "The Green City". In fact, PoptropicaStars is one of many to join the excitement!

On Monday morning, PoptropicaStars flew in from Los Angeles to Ellisburg to participate in the yearly extravaganza. Her day began with a one-hour jog around the indoor track at the Jimmie Rodriguez Conventional Stadium which is open to the public during that week. Later that day, she traveled to Sensei, a premier health spa offering Far Eastern methods of relaxation including Japanese aromatherapy and yoga that originated from India.

On Tuesday, PoptropicaStars prepared for the Reassurance Run 5K Marathon by dressing in a not-so-fashionable outfit and a lipstick-less face. When InStyle Poptropica Magazine questioned her about the choice of apparel, she replied:

"While running a marathon, it is more important to be comfortable sweating... if you feel you can perform better in sweats over shorts, or a long-sleeve tee over a tank top, go with it. Heck, wear leggings and wedges if you feel more comfortable running in them, ha-ha!"

Six hours and thirty-nine minutes after the first tape was charged through, PoptropicaStars finished the lengthy run in 52nd place out of over 400 contenders. She received an honorable blue ribbon and free bottled water in participation of the marathon.

On Wednesday and Thursday, PoptropicaStars spent the remainder of her stay checking out the latest apparel at the Grandeur Galleria in Downtown and sketching last minute concepts for her upcoming summer collection. On Friday, she was spotted at the international terminal in Mira Clicka International Airport, ready to fly back home to Los Angeles with a giant smile on her face in a red & yellow spring dress and Nike shoes that she wore during the marathon.

PoptropicaStars finished her Reassurance Run 5K Marathon around Ellisburg, Mainland Poptropica in 6 hours and 39 minutes.

Not Easy Being Kermit-Green & Where Projects Stand

After several months of spotlight relief for PoptropicaStars, she is jumping back onto the media bandwagon and continuing work on numerous projects currently pulling her schedule. These areas of conquering include airing the remainder of the second season of Fashion Fever (currently on hiatus after low ratings on Lifetime Network Poptropica), a corporate-sophisticated line of clothing coming to Poptropican department stores in summer 2014, and renewing paperwork for several fashion and modeling companies such as NY Modeling Agency, Chalet & Co. Apparel Modeling Agency, and Fashion of Poptropica Partnership. PoptropicaStars states herself, "I will and may very well take necessary measures to be up to date with everyone".

Just yesterday, PoptropicaStars made a grand entrance at Sinclare's Cocktails & Wines Bistro for their St. Patrick's Day gala in San Miranda, Mainland Poptropica. The handcrafted outfit she wore, "Not Easy Being Kermit-Green", received mixed to positive reactions from attendees at the party. Author of best-selling novel, "Raising Cattle", Shirley Costa, praised PoptropicaStars's stitchwork and adored her felt turtle shell hair accessory. On the other hand, Andrew Summerstelle, editor of Pollywood Weekly Magazine, discussed the awkwardness caused from the gown when casually conversing with her.
