So, what’s the deal with Zaggy Moondust you ask? He wasn’t in Lunar Colony, like some Poptropicans were expecting, so who the heck is he supposed to be? Well, we here at Poptropica Secrets don’t want to leave anyone in the dark. Zaggy Moondust is a funny reference to a character called Ziggy Stardust who was the alter-ego of 1970′s glam-rock star David Bowie. 1970′s? Glam rock? What’s that got to do with a space station on the moon? David Bowie, whose costume is uncannily captured in the Zaggy Moondust membership gear, made an album called “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” which had space-themed songs like “Starman”, “Lady Stardust”, “Star”, and the titular song “Ziggy Stardust”.
David Bowie also had a song called “Space Oddity” that includes a rocket countdown and blastoff. He really liked writing space-themed songs!

About Katy Perry
A former Christian artist, Katy Perry rebranded herself as a larger-than-life pop star and rose to prominence during the summer of 2008. Before she topped the charts with songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and “California Gurls,” though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, CA. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career.
At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette’s chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group’s two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as “the Next Big Thing!”
With the Matrix’s unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and began working on a solo album for Columbia. The project was eventually canceled, although two of its songs were later given to Kelly Clarkson, who scored a Top 40 hit with “I Do Not Hook Up” several years later. Perry (who, by this point, had shed her original surname due to its similarity to actress Kate Hudson) then signed with Capitol, who encouraged their new client to write her own music and helped establish her image as a boisterous, tongue-in-cheek pop star. Perry’s debut single, “UR So Gay,” generated a small buzz with its mischievous lyrics and clever music video, but it was “I Kissed a Girl” that proved to be her breakthrough hit, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008′s One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside her boyfriend at the time, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, “Hot N Cold” became her second multi-platinum hit, “Thinking of You” (one of the album’s three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40, and “Waking Up in Vegas” cracked the Top Ten.
Such success meant that Katy Perry had officially become one of the industry’s biggest pop stars, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion choices as the music itself. She continued touring through the summer of 2009 (albeit without McCoy, whose boyfriend status had been revoked earlier that year) and found time to tape an installment of MTV Unplugged, which was released in November. Meanwhile, she worked on a new album and started up a whirlwind romance with comedian Russell Brand, eventually becoming his fiancé. Recording sessions for her album wrapped up in early 2010, and Perry scored her second number one single with “California Gurls,” which was released that May. The accompanying album, Teenage Dream, followed in August.
Are you Katy Perry-ed yet?
I’m doing my fangirling now so I don’t have to later.
The big huge Katy Perry thing above isn’t up to date, later she divorced Russel Brand, but anyhow you probably knew that…. if you didn’t, there you go!
Aaaand I’m talking to myself. Anyone here?
I’m here.
Hee hee.
You Katy Perry-ed me.
Prepare to be Skrilled…

Lol I’m such a fail…Brave Star, sorry for the confusion.
CS, you like Hello Kitty…?
I LOVE Katy Perry! I love ALL her songs, bu my current favs are ‘Wide Awake’ and ‘Hot And Cold.’
Oh and Happy Bubbles, the forum is under a lot of fighting right now….bad time to join BTW….*headdesk*
OMG, No, I Heart Hello Kitty is a song by BOTDF.
I’ve been addicted to them lately.
And Skrillex.
Mostly Skrillex.
Never gonna stop being addicted.
I like Nicki Minaj better than Katy Perry.
I’m getting ready for a long night tonight.
But, I may need to go sleep, kinda back out the fight.
I did my fangirling shift early so I can watch the Top 30 Cat Breeds on the Animal Planet website. I’m on the third cat, Domestic Shorthair.
Oh, that’s cool.
I’m doing my fangirling shift late and extended.
Oh My God, Joel. Oh My God.
I’m BBBAAACCCKKK!!!! Not that anyone cares…
Hello, Mang, how are ya?
Ahhh, Nicki Minaj has a lot of curses in her songs…but Starships isn’t bad..
Short Leopard, aren’t ya kinda young to be listening to that stuff..?
Oh Brave Sky, who I always tend to confuse with my good friend Brave Star,
Where are you back FROM…??
I’m now on Colorpoint Shorthairs. They go on a little about how loud the cat is, teehee so true.
I’m going on to the next one… CORNISH REX!!! Huh. Strange name.
Can we do something all of us together?
And am I the only one who likes Skrillex here?
Okay, that cat is over… Now Egyptian Mau.
Oh yes, Kat, I didn’t see your comment. What would we do? And I like Skrillex.
Now on to Exotic. That’s all, just Exotic. Exotic Cats….
@RedWing: I’m back from the long hours of shopping with my mom…
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
But, I am the only fangirl and thus, I am proud of that!

I like cats.
And Katy Perry.
More fangirling: Katy Perry’s cat is named Kitty Purry.
In the making of the Wide Awake music video, they hired a French person to direct it. He had a lot of experience behind him. They made the music video 3D because the movie is in 3D, and the song Wide Awake is about being on tour and what it was like on tour. The tour I’m talking about is a huge tour Katy Perry went on that was over 340 days long. I’m not exactly sure how long it was, but it was freaking LONG. In the middle of the tour, she had tough times with her divorcee Russel Brand.
She and Russel have matching tattoos. They are written in Hindu (if I remember correctly) and both say Go With The Flow.
Did you know Sonny was in a band called From First To Last?
Ah…those days.
Emily and Note To Self are my favorite songs on “Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Body Count” and everything they’ve done.
Emily makes me sorta cry. It’s so beautiful. I miss the times when they were together.
A body angst? What’s that?
The Himalayan is the same as the Persian except for coloring: the Himalayan is a pointed cat, which means it is light colored with dark extremities. Hmm. They are fluffy.
They came to be because two Harvard scientists crossed a Persian witha Siamese-and they got the first Himalayan!
I should Taylor Swift every body! Okay. She grew up on a Christmas tree farm. She always saved the best tree for her family. She loved to sing. For Christmas, she got a guitar one year. She didn’t know how to play. One day, a computer repair man came to her house. He noticed her guitar, and asked her if she knew how to play. When she said no, he offered to teach her a few chords. After that, she couldn’t put it down! One day, she sand the star spangled banner @ a basket ball game
I am staring to wanting to leave the forum now……
I’m just starting to warm up.
Ari, I won’t hate on One Direction right now.
Just…fangirl. Please.
Time for Maincoone….
They are every healthy and can live long
You need to brush them twice a week due to long fur
They are loyal family members
I’m not good at fangirling….
I skipped the Japanese Bobtail cat, so I will say: In old Japan/Edo, they were all ordered to go outside and fend off rodents from silk worms. Hello Kitty is a Japanese Bobtail too, and the cats you often see waving in stores are also Japanese Bobtails.
Wait I meant that other comment like I skipped it as in didn’t say anything about it. I watched the video.
I’m fangirling about cats.
I’m going to watch the rest if the cat stuff, then fangirl about Katy Perry, then do something else. That is my schedule. It starts…NOW!
Okay..?
