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.

Sharon Brusck Unveils "Quintessential"

New singles titled "Finding The Best", "No Love", and the currently trending "Quintessential", were picked up by Sharon Brusck, the runner-up of the first season of PoptropicaStars Fashion Fever this afternoon. After weeks of hyping Poptropicans for the release of her junior album, the fashion-forward artist has granted everyone's wish! PoptropicaStars, being a huge fan of Sharon's work on the drawing board and composition sheet, reunited with her via Skype, talking about the latest album.

Music critics have raved Sharon's album to an incredible acclaim. MIX Magazine gave Sharon's newest album a 4.5/5 score, making it the highest rated review of 2014. Reader's Digest - Poptropica praised Sharon's unique style of blending pop from the early 2000's and R&B beats into a masterful tune. The Daily Paper of Super Power Island also plans on advertising Sharon's album in tomorrow's newspaper due to the CEO, Vaughan Prints, loving the entire ensemble so much.

As of February 16, 2014; 8:00 P.M. on the iPopiTunes Charts, Sharon's album has reached #7 on Pop, #12 on Hip-Hop/R&B, and #24 on the overall list.

Christmas With PoptropicaStars's Family

Yesterday, Wendy Harrington from the NBC Poptropica weekday talk show, The Lifestyle, interviewed PoptropicaStars about what Christmas and the holidays are really like with her family and relatives along with fashionable new year resolutions. Here is the transcribed interview:

WENDY: So PoptropicaStars, your family, describe them.

POPTROPICASTARS: My family is the type of family that gets along with people no matter what differences you may have. They are always open-minded and will not hold a grudge. I am very fortunate of calling them, "Mom" and "Dad".

WENDY: Knowing you have a small family consisting of only your mother and father, how are Christmas preparations like at your parents' house?

POPTROPICASTARS: Actually, we have several relatives who come over to Thousand Oaks to celebrate Christmas with us. As for preparations... every Christmas Day, everyone pitches in to make each December 25th a memorable one. This year, I am helping my mom set up the banquet table by placing a gift on each chair. The catch is, when the relatives arrive, they do not know which gift they are receiving... but the gifts are all cool trinkets to have as keepsakes.

WENDY: Do you have any fun Christmas traditions?
POPTROPICASTARS: Oh my goodness, yes! *laughs* After dinner, I don't know why, but we always end up having a random dance party in the living room!... My uncle who flies in from California City on Mainland Poptropica has some of the craziest dance moves... ever! He does this jig where he bends his knee almost more than one-hundred-five degrees and... oh my gosh... I need to show everyone here a home video of it. It's that hilarious! *laughs*

WENDY: What do you usually feast on during Christmas?

POPTROPICASTARS: In the morning, I eat a light breakfast like... a granola bar and a glass of milk. It saves time and room for the grand supper... At dinner, my mom and I make the classic Christmas dishes - ham, grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, spinach quiche, corn on the cob - to everyone's preferences. Of course, I'm a vegetarian and not allowed to eat red meat so ham is sadly off my personal menu... And you can't forget about dessert. My dad makes the best pumpkin and pecan pie in the world!

WENDY: Do you have any memories growing up as a child during the holidays?
POPTROPICASTARS: I was like a kid in a toy store. I enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree whenever December made its mark on the calendar. When I was eight years old, my dad and I always made cheesy Christmas cards to send to our relatives. We wrote stuff like, "Have a Grinch-less Christmas with a side of Who hash." That was the holidays when I was growing up.

WENDY: Have you planned new year resolutions yet?

POPTROPICASTARS: Yes, but I haven't made them official. However, when the clock strikes midnight into 2014, my resolutions will begin very strictly.

WENDY: Can you tell us what you are thinking about designing for 2014?

POPTROPICASTARS: Next year, I want my future designs to be casual chic with high profile... clothing that ordinary working people like me would buy to wear in the business atmosphere.

Halloween Bash 2013

PoptropicaStars attended the annual Los Angeles Halloween Bash at Spectra Warehouse tonight with Nathan Devilman. The two lovebirds were seen sporting ancient Greek costumes to the party. However, they were not the only Poptropicans wearing European "disguises". Kelly Cossley, the renowned aerobics instructor from H&W Poptropica Network's "Stretch with Kelly", met up with PoptropicaStars after they had their guest pictures taken. Apparently, she was wearing a traditional Norwegian folk outfit like back in the days when Kelly grew up in rural Scandinavia. As the night dimmed, the Halloween celebration brightened up with the disco floor below. Varieties of costumes from generic superheros to creative novel characters filled the party warehouse.

PoptropicaStars and Nathan were especially included in the guest list to host tonight's costume contest. They announced the "best dressed" winners from these categories:

"Voted for best scary costume... Benjamin Summers... For best movie character transformation... David Kliff... For best contemporary artist impersonation... Lucy Megdalia... For best cultural imitation... Carlos Winegger... And the overall most creative costume of the night is... Francis Jorgean with an Iron Man and Dark Knight protagonist fusion."

Not only were there Poptropican celebrities and crazy costumes, Halloween games included the traditional apple bobbing barrel, trick-or-treat giveaways, pumpkin decorating, live music ranging from rock to pop to Halloween classics, and nobody would forget the delectable finger foods and beverages served by five of the best caterers in Los Angeles County. It was certainly a night to remember for all the Poptropicans who went.

Movie Date With Nathan D. And PoptropicaStars

PoptropicaStars and Nathan Devilman flew from Los Angeles, California to San Miranda, Mainland Poptropica yesterday morning to prepare for a gigantic day of "Business Savvy" conferences in the city. It is confirmed by PoptropicaStars herself the release date will be on the first weekend in October, likely on the fifth, so we will be sure to keep a close watch on this special opening. After all the busy fashion meetings, Nathan decided to take PoptropicaStars for a disguised afternoon to a nearby AMC Poptropica Theater.

A picture of the street (San Ibetro Street) PoptropicaStars was disguised on along with Nathan Devilman while going to the movie theater.

At the movie theater on San Ibetro Street, the two lovebirds sat in the far back row and excitedly viewed the delectable "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" and the unexpectedly funny "Don Jon" (R-rated). The two then walked in disguise to a Starbucks where they snacked and laughed over a cup of iced mocha and a roasted vegetable panini. At 4:50 P.M., PoptropicaStars and Nathan flew back to Los Angeles where they are getting ready to fly to New York to showcase the new designs.
