Mid-Day Snack

edwardcullen.jpegAbout Bloody Time: The NY Times finally caught on to the whole vampire obsession. Phew, now we can believe it’s real. However I do thank them for giving me an excuse to run a picture of Edward Cullen, er, Robert Pattinson. {NY Times}

Say It Ain’t So: Isn’t it bad enough that Christian Audigier has basically taken over entire blocks of Los Angeles? Now he’s threatening to show in Paris. {FWD via Vogue UK}

DC Style: Of the non-Obama variety, that is. Check out what the kids are wearing on Dupont Circle. {Washington Post}

Heaven On Earth: Coco Rocha discovers the utter beauty that is the “beauty closet”, especially the one at Vogue. {VogueDaily}

WTF: Excuse me, someone was going to let Kate Gosselin have a clothing line? Sweet lord. {US Weekly}

Stink Pocket: The Meatpacking now smells like DvF which some people are not happy about. Though we much prefer perfume to raw meat. Don’t you? {Page Six}

ugggghhhh I hate Twilight!! As an avid reader, I find it insulting that such a terribly written book is famous, when there are so many amazing struggling artists out there.

Also, to be catty for a second, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson always look like they need to wash their hair.

While I agree that the writing in twilight is not the greatest, the reason that it is so popular is because of the incredible world it presents. I personally beleive that imagination is more important that traditional rules of writing.

yeah while i am not a fan of twilight i can still respect it, i read my fair share of books like that when i was 12. it is not supposed to be a work of literary genius; its target market is obsessed preteen girls who want entertainment/an escape. it is just a fad that caught on like wildfire.

Hooray for Dupont! One of the loveliest parts of DC, though I'd never really noticed it for its fashion...Cute how nervous the blonde mohawk boy is waiting for his date, hope it went well

Twilight is amazing. I don't care if a 3 year old wrote it. The story is good and Robert Pattinson is a sex god. I'm not ashamed to be a Twilight fan.

Ugh, Twilight. The writing was very poor and I found Edward's stalkerish tendencies disturbing rather than cute. Then, of course, he descended into full-blown controlling chauvinism in later books. Charming. Really.

Christian Audigier: tackiest designer to come out of France since Lagerfeld knows when.

Twilight certainly isn't the greatest writing, but it isn't awful. Not nearly as bad as Dan Brown, for instance. Also, it doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is, as #5 points out. And, Stephenie Meyer (I think that's her name right?) has continued what people were worried would fade out with the end of the Harry Potter series: younger kids reading for fun. That's amazing. My little sister is an avid Twilight fan, and after the movie came out she was like: "Ugh, the book was so much better" and I think that's cool that she (my sister) could catch onto the power of a book over, or even just opposed to, a movie.
