The Fanpoppy Awards are about recognizing outstanding achievements on Fanpop. With all the glitz and glamour and excitement of the Fanpoppies, it is easy to forget about the person who has made this award ceremony possible. Without this glittering star, there would be no Fanpoppies. Her dedication, beauty and grace are the reason we are all here. And no, I’m not referring to myself. While Amazondebs was link the awards committee and Fanpoppy nominees, I sat down with the essence of greatness herself...the Fanpoppy.

Chel: What is it like being a statue?
Fanpoppy: People think it’s an easy job. However, there are days when it is utterly exhausting to be a gold statue. I have to hold this giant green star over my head and be absolutely still, all day long. But, it’s who I am and it’s what I was born to be.

Chel: What are you most looking forward to about the Fanpoppies?
Fanpoppy: It’s the one day of the year when I really get to shine. I get all polished up and I’m the one thing in the room everyone looks at. It’s pretty exciting.


Chel: Are there any Fanpoppers out there you are hoping will win you?
Fanpoppy: I’ll admit, I’ve had my eye on Johnminh. All the girls are always fighting over him and that elf hat just drives me crazy. While I will be happy with whoever wins me, let’s just say, I wouldn’t mind sitting on his mantelpiece.


Chel: Aren’t you worried what people will say about you going home with some strange man?
Fanpoppy: I try not to let mindless gossip bother me. The papers are always writing bad things about me, just because I’m an independent woman who is covered in gold paint. As long as my friends and family know the truth, that is all that matters.

Chel: Speaking of strange men, what’s your love life like these days?
Fanpoppy: My love life is non-existent. I just don’t have time for romance right now. My life is too hectic. However, I’m always open to the idea of settling down. I just have to find the right guy. Or the right statue.


Chel: How about Oscar? He’s single and you seem to both have a lot in common.
Fanpoppy: Trust me, Oscar is such a diva. All he cares about is himself. We tried dating for awhile, but his ego got in the way.

Chel: Well, is there anything else you want your adoring public to know?
Fanpoppy: I’d really like them to keep in mind that I am a person. You can put me on a pedestal, but I do have feelings and I want to be treated with respect. Don’t use me to hit people with, don’t use me to make other people jealous, and certainly don’t think of me as some sort of trophy.

Chel: But you are a trophy.
Fanpoppy: No, I’m a Fanpoppy statue. There’s a difference.

After the interview was over and Fanpoppy had left, I felt like I had just been in the presence of greatness. Fanpoppy has yet to return my calls, though, so I'm not sure I made a very good impression.
