Hello V.I.Ts.,

Have all of you seen the new Sweety High Web Series. It is so amazing, we watched the first one and can't wait for the next one, we are hooked. We had a chance to interview OMG the Co-Founder Veronica Zelle and some of the stars. Here is what they told us.

Veronica Zelle – Co-founder of Sweety High, Sweety Web-series Creator/Writer/Director/Producer

Please tell us in three sentences or less what Sweety High is all about? dekoposh

Sweety High is a social world for girls, by girls! Sweety High combines original content with social media and gaming in a private, age-appropriate space. Veronica

How did you come up with the idea for Sweety High…what was your inspiration? dekoposh

I started out with the idea the web-series Sweety, which follows four BFF's as they navigate their high school experience. The idea for the site built from there. I talked directly to tween girls and really listened to what interests them. I set out to create something that would be fun, safe and uniquely theirs. I wanted to make an impact in these girls' lives so they would have a place to go online that's between Club Penguin and Facebook. Veronica

Where would you like to see Sweety High in five years? dekoposh

On the computer screen of every young girl who wants to be safe and learn about how to handle online media. Veronica

How can we the public get involved with Sweety High? dekoposh

Tell ALL the tween girls you know to sign up for Sweety High right now. Seriously, tell your sisters, friends, neighbors, cousins, everyone. Veronica

Please tell us what your dream is for 2010? dekoposh

My dream for 2010 is to help others, especially the girls on Sweety High, achieve their goals. Also, it's important to me that my family and friends are happy and healthy. Veronica

Kara Crane – Sissy

What does Sweety High represent to you? dekoposh

To me, Sweety High represents unity. Not only does the site hold a safe and fun place for girls to come together, but the web series gives us a taste of 4 best friends who have united and are there for each other in every way possible. I think thats a great example for young girls, and what Sweety High is all about. Kara

What do you want the viewers to get out of the Web Series? dekoposh

I want the viewers to find one of the four girls to relate to when watching the series. They are all so different from one another, that everyone can find the sissy or tracy in them. Its fun to have a favorite character that you feel is just like you, or one of your best friends. Kara

What are your goals for the next five years? dekoposh

In the next 5 years I hope to be working on a series. I have always found that to be the essential goal; to have a relatively consistent job, and to be around people you have grown to love everyday. Its like a family, and I think that would be a wonderful atmosphere to be apart of :] I'd also like to finish all my credits for school in hopes of attending UCLA. Kara

What else have we seen you on? dekoposh

I was in a Disney Channel movie called "Minutemen" and also guested starred on Disney's The Suite Life on Deck and Nickelodeon's Ned's Declassified. Kara

Please tell us what your dream is for 2010? dekoposh

My dream for 2010 is to live my life to the fullest. I know that sounds so cliche, but I want to meet new people and do new things. I lost some great people that meant the world to me last year, and it made me realize how short life truly is. I don't want to second guess my thoughts anymore or hide my feelings. I don't want to go to sleep at night thinking I should have said this or I should have done that. Every time I am presented with something different or new, I'm just going to trust in fate and jump in. I'll keep you updated on how that goes :] Kara

Brittany Finamore – Paige

What does Sweety High represent to you? dekoposh

To me, Sweety High represents true friendship. These girls have such a strong bond and the ability to work through anything as a team. As a cast we began to feel that way towards each other after only a few days of filming and we hope that translates on film. Brittany

What do you want the viewers to get out of the Web Series? dekoposh

Well I mostly hope the viewers will be entertained when they watch the series! Also, I hope younger girls will be able to relate to us and understand that even when things don't work out the way you had planned, your friends will always have your back. Brittany

What are your goals for the next five year? dekoposh
In the next five years I'd like to find myself on set filming a series. I'd also like to film movies while on hiatus. I definitely see a puppy in the near future as well=) Brittany

What else have we seen you on? dekoposh

You may have seen me as the recurring character Allison on Malcolm in the Middle. Also, on Cory in the House and most recently Ghost Whisperer. Look for me in the upcoming films The No-Sit List, Nowhere to Hide, and Forget Me Not. Brittany

Please tell us what your dream is for 2010? dekoposh

My dream for 2010 is to see the people of Haiti begin to heal and rebuild. Nothing is impossible and with enough participation we all can make it happen. Brittany

Sweety High represents a really cool site that has everything any young girl would want from a website, all while being safe and staying away from the scary stuff alot of websites do not protect you from! Meagan

What do you want the viewers to get out of the Web Series? dekoposh
I want viewers to get that as a young girl, it doesnt matter what race you are, what ethnicity, whatever your interests, you can make good decisions and find a great group of positive friends that support you no matter what. I love that our series incorporates fashion and fun but also shows that we are interested in being good people who care about others. Meagan

I feel so blessed to have been in Los Angeles for less than 2 years and be working as an actress, which is something Ive wanted to do all my life.

Big goal! Meagan
