The crew from Mun2’s show, “The Look,” invaded Cerritos College on Oct. 12.
Filming a segment called, “Man on the Street,” asking students their thoughts on fashion and filming them in the process.
It was hosted by Southern California’s own, Melissa “Crash” Barerra, who is also famous for her work in the show “The Chicas Project” and various other shows on the Mun2 network.
Questions ranged from how often do you wear your jeans between washes, to what type of clothing should a guy never wear, to even more risqué questions like what part of your body would you never pierce.
“A majority of Cerritos College students don’t think it’s okay to pierce their butt cheeks together,” said Barerra. “So if anyone is considering coming to Cerritos College, make sure your cheeks don’t have holes in them,” she jokingly added.
Many students got to participate in the interviews in hopes of appearing on the show and taking a quick break from their stressful classes.
“I think it is a good thing to see the diversity of people and the different types of fashion,” said Julie Mendez, forensics major.
Cerritos College was selected out of hundreds of other colleges due to its high enrollment of Hispanics.
“Cerritos College is the third largest Hispanic service institution in the nation that fits into our target demographic, Hispanic and between he ages of 13 and 35,” said production manager Jeriemiah Zezuela.
The show’s producers contacted Cerritos College public affairs officer Aya Abelan in order to obtain permission to be on campus and were happy with the results and interactions of the students.
“We were really happy how helpful and how willing to participate everyone was, usually we have to figure out the lay of the land and find to good spots when on a campus. This time the students and staff made it easy,” Barerra said.
Some students who were camera shy didn’t have to participate in the show.
“It’s really up to the student if they want to participate, we just try to give students the opportunities to experience new things,” Abelan said.
With this success, the crew plans of coming back to campus soon, “We would absolutely come back to Cerritos College, to do future segments,” producer Shari Scorca said.
The new episode that features, Cerritos College students is set to be airing sometime in January of 2010 on Mun2.
