Poptropica Secrets Fan Costume Contest: Summer Fun!

EDIT: Brave Star reminded me that the Avatar Studio is available for everybody.  Yay!  Thanks to Brave Star for correcting me and for the original idea of a fan costume contest!

I’m looking for cool costumes and outfits!  For our next costume contest, instead of me (Zippy T.) putting a weird outfit together, I want to see what you guys can come up with.  I’ll collect images and then put them in a poll for everyone to vote on.  Here’s the catch: I want to use the Avatar Studio that’s only available to Members.  I know, I know, I’m sorry!  For you non-members, if you know of a way to SAFELY post a link to an image, then let me know in the comments and I’ll look into it.  Until then, if you know someone who is a member and want to submit a costume idea, then see if you can get them to put the outfit together for you in the Avatar Studio.

Each of these contests will be themed.  Since summer is over (sadly) I thought we’d have one last hurrah.  The theme for this first Poptropica Secrets Fan Costume Contest is: Summer Fun!  (And whatever that means to you!)

Here are the Rules:

  1. Put together an outfit that you think best represents Summer Fun.  Remember, it doesn’t have to be “real”, pirates and robots can have summer fun, too!
  2. Open Avatar Studio and copy the link from the bottom
  3. Paste the link into a comment below
  4. Write one line telling us what the deal is with your outfit.  A mini-story about how this costume represents “summer fun”.  Is your Poptropican a vampire who spends her summer in Transylvania?  A superhero surfer who likes to catch the big waves off the rocks of the super-criminal prison?  You get the idea.

So, let’s try this out!  I’ll take the first 5 or maybe 10 entries and put them up in a poll sometime next week.  Can not wait to see what you guys come up with!

Costume Contest #1

    Wow, I gotta get working on mine…

  2. Okay, I just searched all over Poptropica and this is the best I could do.

    http://www.poptropica.com/avatarstudio/avatar.html?a=baXNtVjdkWld4NWMybGhZV3hzWlc0eE1BPT0%3D

    So, this expresses my fangirly side, a bit. I wear a sweater alike my Poptropican’s, put my hair back with a hairband (usually blue) and I always chew some 5 Gum. The spearmint flavour.

    Oh! Yeah, that’s what I would look like if I had…sorta…you-know-who glasses.

    But, they look sorta like his glasses…

    You know…

    HEY! I tried.

    I’m going to Tennis.

    I hate Tennis but…

    No! Nevermind!

    NO! I have Tennis tonight, Karate on Wednesdays…

    I still don’t know how I don’t have glasses.

    I have 20/20 vision but, I stare at the computer all day, watch Skrillex videos at 2 AM in the morning and still…

    God, the bright lights hypnotize your brain.

    It sorta happened to me last night. I was watching a video and the lights were too much at the drop. When I closed my eyes, I could still see the lights flashing.

    So…

    No more Skrillex videos in the early morning.

  5. Lol, tennis is ok, but karate is beast. Anyways I finally got the 5th Anniversary Costume, it’s a lot cooler than last year

  6. 3rd!

    Actually, Zippy, the avatar studio’s available to all. Did you mean the closet?

  24. I’m just gonna post something random.

    I groaned as I walked in the door. “Katrina, don’t groan, I get your iPod for a month.” My Mother said, walking by. “What the fu-” I started. “Katrina, don’t cuss, that’s two months.” Mother said. I rolled my eyes. “3 Months, don’t make it for 4.” She said. She grabbed her wallet and said, “I’ll be at Wal-Mart, I’ll be gone for 3 hours, enjoy yourself.” And walked out, only to come back in. “Car’s not there, I’m staying here.” Obviously. “So, Kat, you came from school, right?” she asked. “No, I came from Heaven!” I said, sarcastically. “SARCASM! 5 MONTHS!” she said. I walked upstairs, into my room and slammed the door behind me. I sat down on my bed, grabbed the remote for my stereo and turned it on. “Remember all the-” “UGH!” I groaned. I turned to the next radio station. “And it feels like I am just too close to love you…” “So, Call Me Maybe!” “Some nights, I stay up-” “We are never ever ever getting back together!” “It’s always a good time!” “Oh, oh, ohhhhhhhh…” “We rowdy. Shout to all my lost boys.” My eyes widened. Sirah? Was this… “Bangarang!”

    The first time I heard Bangarang on the radio…yesterday.

    If someone watches this, I will love you. Forever.

    Please tell me WTF starts happening around 3:30.

    I see dogs and stuff.

    Am I hallucinating?

  26. here’s my entry
    http://www.poptropica.com/avatarstudio/avatar.html?a=bUUhYdlU1Wkc5amQyaHZOZz09
    i am so exited that poptropica secrets is having a costume contest!
    so nothing says summer fun like wearing supper cool t shirts and bright colored pants that means we don’t have to wear UNIFORM! taking all the awesome pictures with your camera at all the places you go. listening to music just chillaxing. watching 3d movies in the cinema. and a new summer hat that your friend got you as a souvenir going on a trip to do Alaska whale watching. last but not least a HUGE smile because there’s NO HOMEWORK.
    (•‿•)

  27. Good job Zippy Turtle you fixed it

  28. Not bad, but it’ll be topped soon

  29. Never mind, don’t click on it.

  30. You are not hallucinating Kat, I see dogs too.

  31. Hi everyone. FINALLY back from school.

  32. @Drake: When you click on it, it just says “user not found” I don’t know why. I think it’s probably just a glitch. If you don’t believe me, click on the link.

  33. I’m watching America’s Got Talent. Tom Cotter was amazing!

  34. Guys, you can just put on the Poptropolis games outfit.

  35. 🙁 *sniff*

  36. Or maybe mine is a kid in a tee with glasses and blah! Whatever!
    I dont even care who is the winner!

  37. Wondering who is…

    “Triton”

    Keyshia did the web address…

  39. Uh, hi everyone, I recently got back from school, I don’t think I have any homework. So… technically i’m not really in this costume contest anymore because of my avatar issues. I don’t really care if I don’t win. But I really like the costumes you guys came up with!

  40. Nevermind on the xat thing. It gave my computer a virus but, I cleaned it right on time.

    RIGHT ON TIME. RIGHT ON TIME. 😀

  41. http://youtu.be/UWb5Qc-fBvk

    Sorry to drive you off but…

    5:23 A wild Skrillex has appeared! (storybook above)

    That scared me…

  42. ZT are u new to poptropica or FM’s bro or something because u keep saying things wrong like “sorry! the avatar studio is only for members!” and like “i wonder when the skull mask comes out….” and the avatar studio is 4 everyone and da skull mask was for LS and otherwise how long have u been and pop and how did u come on here and WHERE IS FM

  43. Sorry to be spamming up the place but…this made my day.

    Ah…I shall post the link and I just copied and pasted this one part…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGpzGu9Yp6Y&feature=share&list=UU_TVqp_SyG6j5hG-xVRy95A

    AH! Lost the one part…

    But, whatever. If you want, check out the comment left by Skrillex.

  44. OHMIGOD!!!! Today is Niall Horan’s birthday!!! YYYYYYYYAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Shoot. I gotta go to bed now. *yawns*

  45. I’m sorry for my fangirlness, but I haven’t listened to One Direction the ENTIRE day… I had to go to my little sister’s Back-To-School Spaghetti Night, do homework. I didn’t even bother to go to Youtube, just played some Roblox, played Poptropica. SO BUSY!!!

  46. Yay! Zippy thanked me in the post! 🙂

    I almost want to enter, but I’m better with costumes. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

    Hey, Zippy, could you give us your username? Unless I missed it..

    PS: Might not be on as much. There are now three people here (the comments) Who hate my guts. 🙁 Sorry if I can’t put as many ideas.

  47. Hey Zippy! Today (i think) is Poptropica’s 5th birthday!!!!!!

  48. Hi guys, here’s a riddle for you (Caution: REALLY hard) you”l have to look all over Poptropica to find the answer. The question is: What is the message of the tree? Put your answer in the comments!

  49. Minecraft, Call Of Duty and Mortal Kombat. That’s all I could think of. When I died in one of them, I paused and went to the other game. I went like that until I fell asleep. Fun 😀

  50. @Brave Star: Who are the people that hate you, exactly?

  51. Look though Mythology Island for Me!

  52. *facepalm*

    Who are you “Triton”?

  53. I haven’t come on here in a long time..xD

  54. Is poptropica gonna make a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory island?

  55. Brave Sky- Well, for starters, there’s HyperS… the other two are best not mentioned.

    Drake- Yep! See their blog!

    Triton- That’s an.. interesting idea to pretend to be someone from an island/mythology. Did you know that one of the Creators is the same person? He never posts on the blog, though.

  56. The other 2 are on the forum, right?

  57. I am going to post the story generated by my sister and her friend.

  58. My fangirly level…

    FANGIRLINESS TOTES OOC!

  59. Brave Sky- Ah, no. They’re here.

    Kat- Like, what happened with them? Or a story they wrote?

  60. Oh God, Brave Star’s here….

  61. Yeah, I don’t have to say who one of them is now, do I?

  62. I assume you guys hate each other…

    Well, she left her Skype on and she was talking about…

    :O She was talking about…

    Sk…

    Skr…

    SKREAM! SHE LIKES SKREAM!

    Bet you guys thought I was gonna say Skrillex.

  63. I-I’m sorry, what’s Skream?

  64. :O YOU. DON’T. KNOW. SKREAM?!?!

    I knew him before I knew Skrillex, Jesus, he’s awesome!!!

    He like, INVENTED Dubstep!

    :O

    And Sonny added onto it.

    Fangirling…

  65. Sorry, I don’t get out in the music world much. I don’t have an iPod, iPhone, or anything like that.

  66. I am in the EDM fandom.

    Eh. No one else is but, IDGAF.

    I see you have never fanboyed…

    How. Depressing.

  67. Yeah, I guess it is.

  68. Yeah CS I do hate him. And you don’t say this to a girl:
    “I almost though up when you asked me to Prom!”

  69. Call me Kat.

    And I don’t want ANYTHING to do with this so, I will sing my name is Skrillex.

    Okay…

    My…

  70. Oh yeah I forgot to call you Kat.
    But i’m hardly ever on the comments I’m, always on the forum! And seriously, I do hate him.

  71. SL- Well, you shouldn’t be a jerk just cuz someone left. I only told you that becuase you were doing your stupid “smartmouth” thing again, and calling me a “big baby” when I left the forum.

    Seriously?

    Anyway, change of subject:

    What does everyone think about the CATCF island?

  72. *ninjaed.

  73. My name is Skrillex…

    Oh, nevermind.

    AWW…

  74. Let’s go as offtopic as we can.

    From the fight thing. The post is fine, I guess.

  75. SL- Well, you shouldn’t be a jerk just cuz someone left. I only told you that becuase you were doing your stupid “smartmouth” thing again, and calling me a “big baby” when I left the forum.

    Oh please, I’M THE JERK?
    Wow, I didn’t call you a baby, I only called you a smart mouth. It’s true, you’re always correcting people on the forum, and you kept on telling me to not double post, I DO WHATEVER I WANT T DO. On, and, by the way, I CAN READ YOU….smartmouth.

  76. I was looking up “I Am Skrillex” and I got Shane Dawson.

    I WANTED TO LISTEN TO “I AM SKRILLEX” NOT WATCH A SHANE DAWSON VIDEO!

    Jesus, YouTube…

  77. I don’t really listen to rap. But when I do, it’s usually just Nicki Minaj, I like her song Starships.
    STARSHIPS WERE MEANT TO FLYYYYYYYYYY, HANDS UP AND TOUCH THE SKYYYYYYY, CAN’T STOP CUZ WE’RE SO HIGGGGGHHHHHH, LET’S DO THIS ONE LAST TIME.

  82. Drake September 14, 2012 at 8:39 pm
    S.L. and Brave Star can u just stop fighting it’s so annoying
    HOW is it annoying?

  83. Well, for starters, I have nothing else to write about, but I admit, I would hate it if someone called ME a “smartmouth” I mean, really? It’s annoying because it’s just ANOTHER senseless fight either you or someone else starts. I’m not refering to any of you guys on here. I’m just trying to get my point across.

  84. You don’t know what he said to me so just stay out of this…..
