UNDERDOG & THE LEGACY PRINCESS!
The 21st Season of ALIEN STAGE boasts a unique lineup, from the rare breed of half-kryptonian and half-human pet, to a the Product of a previous winner, this season is sure to be a nail-biter. But two contenders have grabbed the hearts and minds of all; Lori and Nia.
The energetic and excited Lori has been sought out by various indie brands, notably, SQ. Known for its colorful and explosive aesthetic, SQ leans into alternative takes on clothing which excites both those loyal to the brand and those who have never heard of them before. "We are glad to have partnered with Susa[Lori's Guardian] and Lori. Observing Lori has given us valuable insight into the depth of emotion in human pets, though she is a bit naughty and makes a bit of a fuss every time she's on-set! [laughs]", commented the art director of SQ, Cika.
Elegant and poised, Nia carries the legacy of Isabel, winner of ALNST season 19, with ease. She was an ace student in ANAKT GARDEN and has a unique talent for composition. Her melodious voice is reminiscent of the past while maintaining a unique tonality unlike any heard before. Fans of Isabel have been awaiting this moment since Promotional Footage dropped in the previous Cycle, showing a very familiar looking Product roaming the gardens. She has been granted ambassadorship with O-Hey for their accessory line. Those who have passed [_ _ _ _ ] Street would be familiar with her charming photoshoot projected on [_ _ _ _ ] Tower.
NM Magazine had the chance to interview the competitors prior to the start of the season!
Behind The Scenes Interview
Location: Alien Stage Preliminary Rounds Practice Hall
What made you take part in ALIEN STAGE?
NIA: Growing up, I had the chance to see a lot of my Provider's practices and performances. She was so ethereal, hearing her sing felt like I was lost in a dream. I thought I could never be like that, but my guardians gave me the courage to try. I am so grateful for this chance, and I hope I can make at least one person feel the way I did watching my Provider.
LORI: What do you think? My guardian put my name down and sent me off to meet ANAKT[Garden] so here I am.
NIA: She's always like this….
Would you say you two are close?
NIA: Yes!
LORI: Not really
NIA: Lori…
LORI: You're the one who keeps running away!
NIA: That's because you said such ridiculous—
I guess that answers the question!
NIA: [laughs]
How do you feel about competing with each other?
LORI: I'm going to rock her world [Human Phrase to convey they will do their best]
NIA: A little nervous, but very motivated. We are both composers, and Lori is very good with her guitar so she has an advantage there. I think this would put everything we've learned to the test.
Can you tell us a little about your costumes?
NIA: Woah! We can do that? Won't that be spoilers?
Please give us a hint with no spoilers!
NIA: Hmm…Season 10 Finale, white, floor-length, sparkly!
LORI: It's going to rock your world
NIA: You can't say that for literally every question
LORI: Black
NIA: You're hopeless…
Do you think you have what it takes to win ALIEN STAGE?
NIA: I would really like to! I practiced every single day. If I am to meet Great Anakt, I want to do it with no regrets and with the knowledge that I did my very best.
LORI: Of course I do. This season's full of easy pickings.
Do you have a rival?
LORI: I do, but I doubt he's making it far enough for us to face-off
NIA: I don't. All of them are my friends, so it kind of just feels like weekly evaluations even if the stakes are way higher.
LORI: Oh come on, we all know who it is.
NIA: I…well…by the loosest definition.
LORI: Want me to say it?
Nia: I think...Jay is a challenging competitor
LORI: [laughs] There you go!
Final words to the audience?
NIA: Please look forward to our performance! I hope I can give you sweet dreams and ease your burdens with my music!
