Did you miss me? Well I missed all of you! Remember the good old times when we used to celebrate New Year’s Eve on Isle Esme?
Get the champy out, it's HTD party time!
Well I wish all of you a happy new year with lots of great surprises and good times! And that you’ll all get over your classic New Year’s hangovers soon… Oh and also in case you’re planning your wedding this year, you can go and get your Bella wedding dress now. No joke. Don’t believe me? Here check it out, Alfred Angelo is indeed selling the Bella wedding gown. Then all that’s left to do is ask the Cullens if you can rent Isle Esme for your honeymoon and your good to go.
PS: Please don’t ask me how I ended up on their homepage. Kthxbye.
Wanna look like Bella on your big day? Now you can!
Just kidding I’m not done yet. You didn’t think I could let the fact that someone is actually selling Bella’s wedding dress pass without a few comments, right? So yeah in case you can’t tell sarcasm (you know like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory): I do NOT think anyone should buy this as their wedding dress. Ever. Cause I think weddings should be unique and special. And not Twilight copy cat weddings. Twilight inspired maybe but not Twilight copies. Plus please imagine your future husband being made fun of for the next 50 years by his buddies for actually letting his wife plan a Twiwedding. Lmao. I would never do that to my fiance. Oh wait I don’t have one right now… Well I wouldn’t do it to him if I had one.
Wanna show off your half-naked butt to your whole wedding party including your grandma? Now you can!
Might be the number 1 rule to get one anyway: Don’t ever mention wanting to plan a Twiwedding haha. Well I’m not too fond of Bella’s wedding dress anyways. I mean I think it fit in well with the movie (more on that in the soon to come review) but I wouldn’t choose it as a wedding gown for myself. Period. Unless Randy from Say Yes to the Dress would pick it for me. Cause you know Randy always knows best. Who else is basically in love with Randy and wants him to help pick her wedding dress? Anyone? If not get off here cause then we can’t be friends
Oh also has anyone seen Red Riding Hood? How did you like the newest project directed by Cathy Hardwicke, the woman who brought us Twilight aka the most sexy version of movie Edward in my opinion? SPOILER ALERT: 10 bucks say she wanted Billy Burke to play the wolf cause she thought it would mean he would have to run around shirtless for 90% of the movie. Cause you know she has a thing for him. and any other Twimen for that matter. Oh Cathy the Cougar, sometimes I really miss you…

Off to browse Alfred Angelo some more. Did you know they have a Disney collection? Now THAT is classy and super awesome. Cause who doesn’t love a stylish Disney princess?

Hi! My (fake) name is Saveyoursoul and I’m a secret Twilight-blogger. Yeah sorry, just thought I’d take a sec to introduce myself again AA style. You know, since I haven’t been around in a while haha. I know I kept everyone waiting long enough for a new post so without further ado, let’s discuss the Breaking Dawn trailer! Well actually it will be more me rambling around about it but you are welcome to share all your observations in the comments! Or per e-mail. You know, the usual.
Remember how they ALWAYS made such a big deal out of premiering the newest trailer at the next best MTV award show? And remember how those Twilight trailer ALWAYS leaked BEFORE the show? Yeah? Well same thing this time. How I know? Uhm well, maybe because I watched the Breaking Dawn trailer approximately 3 hours before the show even STARTED. Ha! Win! Now watch it again with me. You know, to refresh our memory… and cause it has some good scenes in it.
Does anyone else think the Volturi scene in the beginning is SO random? Especially cause they don’t appear anywhere in the trailer later on? (Except the half second in the end that doesn’t count cause no one says anything and they don’t connect it to anything else in the trailer. This is my blog so I get to make the rules, remember? Ha!) I mean they DO show up somewhere in Breaking Dawn but since they don’t hint at the never-to-actually-take-place fight they might as well have cut them completely out and taken those 10 secs for a few more hot shots of naked Edward in the sea or something… Just saying.
Really like the Charlie and Renee reactions. Charlie’s face says it all. And Renee is so like hell yes I knew it, time to buy new fancy shoes for the party! Awesome.
Of course they couldn’t go longer than 30 secs in a trailer without showing shirtless Jacob. Cause that one ALWAYS works. In contrary to shirtless Edward. And no that is not being mean. I mean have you read the New Moon reactions post? Jacob takes his shirt off, the audience SCREAMS. Edward takes his shirt off and sparkles… everyone LAUGHS. True story. Really like the Jacob scene in the trailer though with Billy and the invitation in the end. In fact it’s the only one with a little action in the WHOLE trailer. (No, I will NOT count the demon baby kicking scene in the end. Cause it grosses me out. I will refuse to acknowledge that whole part. Until maybe one day I find the strength to torture myself into actually writing a full post about that whole vampire monster pregnancy. Maybe. When I am really drunk. We’ll see.)
Now the wedding. Yeah I know you’ve all been waiting for this one. Gotta say I really love Bella’s wedding style, the make-up, the hair, the veil. Very nice! Even though I am not sure if we don’t get to see the dress cause it’s a) a big surprise for the actual premiere or b) cause there was another Anne of the Green Gables flashback fiasco… Also if the wedding is actually taking place in the Cullens’ garden and not in a forest clearing then they sure as hell grew a lot of trees super fast. Cause this looks like a JUNGLE more then like the nice garden wedding I imagined but it’s cool nevertheless. Whatever keeps Edward from outsparkling the bride hahaha.
Okay now the honeymoon / breaking headboard part. I have no idea how millions of girls (including me at some point) got deluded into thinking this would be hot. Cause it’s not. And the trailer proves it. I saw it and was like WTF!? I mean come on, seriously! A guy actually breaking your headboard into a million pieces while having sex with you is NOT awesome. It’s violent and scary and you will have to buy a new matress cause there will be wood pieces stuck into your old one plus you have to get a new headboard and everything. Okay maybe this is too practical. But seriously, if there would be someone in my bed pulling a stunt like this I’d expect him to pull out a gun next and try to rob and then shoot me. Just saying. I know guys that got tricks way more awesome then breaking headboards. Just saying. Also call me if you want me to hook you up with one of them. Seriously, do it! Also I am a little scared that waterfall sex-scene might come over a little awkward rather than sexy but we’ll see…
Also Edward throwing Jacob into that picture? AWE-SOME! Perfect ending!
So overall I think we can say that this was the least exciting trailer ever if you haven’t read the book cause it doesn’t have the slightest hint of an actual plot. Not that there is too much of that in Breaking Dawn anyways. Which is why I’m a bit worried about the whole splitting it into two movies thing. But more on that another time. I know it’s the trailer a lot of you looked forward to most though cause of all the wedding, honeymoon, sex part so feel free to watch it over and over again while you’re actually supposed to work. It’s fine, I won’t blame you. I am writing a Twilight themed blog post while I’m supposed to get important college stuff done so yeah…
a
Off to check how many days till November 18th so that we can start this countdown!
Oh hay there everyone! Do you love how I completely ignored all the Breaking Dawn filming drama? Yep, I do too so let’s just continue doing that for a little longer while I address another fun fact: Guess what happened! I stopped blogging for two whole months and the result of that is that… WE GOT TWICE AS MANY VISITORS THAN WE DID BEFORE. And that goes for every single day in the last six weeks or so. Uhm, I’m not quite sure if that’s a good or a bad sign. Being more successful with not blogging I mean, not the HUGE number of daily visitors in general. So first of all hi and welcome to all the newbies! I hope you like it here! I love to get comments by someone new. Or e-mails. Or to just see someone clicked on a really old post from back in the day. You know, back in the day before Taylor became legal and therefore irrelevant. Or back in the day before Christian Serratos aka Angela Weber started taking pics like THAT:
Uhm yeah, whatever. I’ll try to not make all those million jokes that come to my mind right now… you know about being young and needing the money. Or obviously being jealous of Ashley Greene and her Skinsuits. Or trying to seduce Edward cause if Bella can than so can Angela. So while I’m not making all those jokes, wanna hear another story instead? Like how one of the dudettes embarrassed me to death in front of a customs guy? Yes? Alright then check back again later this week! I bet you’re gonna laugh your ass off. I would have if I hadn’t been so embarrassed…

Seriously, have you missed me as much as I have missed blogging? What super awesome stuff did I miss that I should blog about? Or are you new here and just wanna say hello? Whatever it is, leave a comment or e-mail me!
Real post coming up again tomorrow. Today excuse us while Zelda and I party on Isle Esme together with the Twilight gang. Cause which place would be better than the very island that is famous for sex, headboard breaking, Edward running around naked, sex, teenage pregnancies, a wonderful beach and oh, have I mentioned sex? Yep, perfect party place. Just like I said. Want proof?
Wanna join us? Well then just give us a call and we’ll send over Edward with his speedboat to come and pick you up! (Haha, more Edward speedboat hotness later this week. You will DIE!) Or just contact us via our super dazzling new phones since Zelda and I both recently joined the wonderful world of the smartphones! YAY! (Yes I know we’re a little behind on stuff but just be ridiculously happy nevertheless. Cause we most definitely are! Ha!)

Off to start a pillow fight with Edward ifyouknowwhatimean
Gosh, just writing down that headline makes me realize how much I failed at blogging lately… Actually I plan on making a top as well as a flop ten list for Eclipse just like we did with New Moon cause I thought that was a pretty cool idea. There are a few general thoughts though that probably won’t make it into any of those lists but still have to be mentioned so I decided they get their own post. Here we go!
I didn’t really like Eclipse. There, I said it. Now you can go and hate on me. I don’t care. It’s my opinion and I’m not gonna take it back. I mentioned it about a million times back in the day that I was neither as excited nor as hyped up for Eclipse as I was for New Moon. That’s not what I’m talking about here though.
Eclipse - Welcome to the land of bad wigs and general awkwardness
About a week ago I watched Eclipse again cause I thought maybe I just had missed all the awesomeness the first time. I hadn’t. I mean, I DID realize some really good stuff (like all the little Alice and Jasper moments) but all in all that movie is just full of awkwardness and out of character moments. More about those in the flop ten list! In general I would say I just didn’t get the Eclipse feeling. (Yep Kiyoka, I agree with you on that one!) Of course this is a movie and it’s only natural it can’t be EXACTLY like the book but I felt like all my favorite scenes had been left out or changed and all the annoying and bad ones had been left in the script. I mean HELLO? NO ALICE KIDNAPS BELLA SCENE? No completely what the heck Edward bribed her with a yellow Porsche moment? FAIL!!! And that’s just one of many more examples. I can live with lots of changes. Edward’s Volvo is charcoal instead of silver? Fine. Angela dates Eric instead of Ben? Alright. Everyone of the vampires has a totally different haircut and color in each of the movies? Oh well. None of that ruined it for me. As I said I just didn’t get the Eclipse feeling like I should have. Remember reading it for the first time? What was it like for you? When I think back the following thing come to my mind: romantic overload, sexy make-out scenes (hello there leg hitch!), oh no he dihin’t, oh so sweet, fight scenes, oh no she dihin’t, most romantic thing EVER, I want Edward as my bf, I love the Cullens, backstories FTW, Victoria ROCKS as an enemy. Yeah, I know that were just random words but that’s how my feelings develop usually. In a random chain of single words that are a complete mess. Haha, sorry. But if you know me that shouldn’t really surprise you. If I made a thought chain for Eclipse the movie it would probably look something like this: Oh no they dihin’t leave that out, OMG the wigs, SO unrealistic Bella, as if you would ever do that, OMG the wigs, since when do I want to do NEITHER Edward NOR Jacob, awkwardness to the max, gosh I think I might fall asleep soon, cheesiness overload, OMG the wigs, who the heck said KStew could act, awkwardness to the max, so not excited. Kinda sad, right? Please don’t hate on me though. Or at least not until you’ve read the top and flop ten lists next week. Cause yes, there WERE things that I liked after all!

Eclipse the book, our love stays untarnished forever!

PS: Chelle, I know you’ve been DYING to read my review ever since July. I’m honestly sorry I kept you waiting that long girl. So I’ll post the top and flop ten list next week. Plus they might include some of the “special secret information” you passed on to me concerning the Bella eyebrows!

What were your Eclipse thoughts? Has your first impression changed after watching it again a while later? We wanna know about it! Leave a comment or e-mail us!
Remember my fantabulous birthday special here on the blog aka the best post ever? Hint: If the answer is no, run off immediately as fast and as far as you can cause I might seriously kick your ass! Just kidding… or maybe not. Obviously everyone here on the blog was so dazzled by Zelda’s piece of awesomeness that no one notice who did NOT get a bday post. Cause yes, fun fact (just in case you haven’t checked out our “About” page yet) I share a birthday with Bella Swan.
Hello there fellow bday boy and childhood hero!
And Super Mario. Yep, the videogame hero. Only he is a bit older than I am but still we share a bday. How cool is that, right? Especially since Zelda and I were Super Mario fangirls pretty much since elementary school. Cause yes, we were videogame nerds. I mean, not real nerds cause we still had friends and rode our bicycles and went to the playground and stuff instead of being the cliche pale, friendless weirdos that hang out in front of a computer all day but we also loved a good Gameboy game.
Funny thing is that it wasn’t some cool rich kid but in fact Mama Soul herself who introduced me to Super Mario World back in the day. Yep, Mama Soul is cool! But you already know that and we’re getting a little off topic here. So while I watched a Super Mario birthday special instead of all those fanmade “Happy bday Bella” YouTube videos it suddenly hit me. OMG, Bella is such a videogame princess!
Oops, I got kidnapped again for the 245th time...
Before anyone starts objecting now let’s analyse this. The only purpose of people like Princess Peach or Princess Zelda is to get in trouble so that the actual hero can come along and rescue them. Doesn’t sound like Bella yet? Let’s see… She almost gets hit by Tyler’s van, Edward comes and saves her. She’s hunted by James, Edward comes and saves her. Jasper attacks her, Edward comes and saves her. She hits her head on a stone in the attempt to ride a motorcycle, Jacob takes his shirt off and comes to save her. She fails at cliff diving, Jacob takes his shirt off and comes to save her. She meets the Volturi who basically want to eat and kill her, Edward and Alice come and save her. And that are only the first two books.
Do you like my hair? Oh and can you rescue me please?
See a pattern there? Agree with me now? Bella is pretty much like Kate in “LOST”. Everyone thinks she’s hot and brave but in the end she always fucks up and gets everyone in trouble needing to be rescued. Bella IS a videogame princess after all! You know what happens to those princesses? You get annoyed by them! You start wondering where’s the sense in saving them if all they do is get in trouble again five seconds later. That’s the point where I always turned off the gameboy and thought “Oh what the heck, go to hell. You got into that stupid shit, no see how you get out again.” Just a little advice Bella. Cause you know, one day Edward might get annoyed and bored by playing the hero and turn off his gameboy as well…
(Yep, that was totally a That’s What She Said sentence.)
a
Off to NOT get in trouble in order to NOT need to be saved

Anyone of you having sweet memories of playing Super Mario games? How awesome is it that I share a bday with him? Oh and with Bella as well. I’m a bday winner obviously Where you ever annoyed by Bella when you read the Twilight series? And am I right or what about that videogame princess theory? Also how do you think Bella would look like wearing Princess Peach’s dress? Leave a comment or e-mail me! Also did you notice I totally gave away where Zelda has her fake-name from?

The reason for the all-around party mood is that today is not just some day, it’s SOUL’S BIRTHDAY!!And because a simple “happy birthday” is not enough (and because she mentioned more than once that she’ll cry us a river if she has to do her bday post all on her own as well, what IS kind of understandable) – dear Soul, enjoy your very own bday post!!

The story of the princess and her dudettes
Once upon a time, there was a princess in a castle. The princess had everything one could wish for, a loving family including her kind of crazy little sister who always makes her smile, good friends on who she can always rely, a cute little doggy and her very own red carriage. The only thing that was missing was a prince.
Pale, noble Mr. Charming - YES!!
One day during twilight, a beautiful pale man rode up the princess’ driveway, on his noble silver steed with an exotic looking banner across its chest consisting of a circle and an arrow. His way of talking, his charme and good looks made the princess lose her mind. She fell in love with him, and couldn’t stand a night without reading at least some of the beautiful words he had written down for her in the little black book of his.
But after a while, an acquaintance of the pale man on the silver steed appeared in the princess’ life – a dark-skinned, muscular young man on a wild horse, bringing the feeling of freedom and adventure up to the princess’ sheltered bedroom.
Dark-skinned, muscular young guy - YES!!
For a long time, she couldn’t decide for one of those man. Should she choose the pale, noble and charming man that had a way with words that made her lose her mind, or the dark-skinned, wild young man with the unbelievable abs who promised her adventures and freedom? It was a time of inner disruption for the young princess.
But as the time went on, something became clear to the princess. It was more of a slow process of understanding than a sudden discovery, but one day she had enough of both, enough of the pale noble man that wrote her words of his love in a book, because she found that he wrote these words to all the girls he knew, and enough of the dark-skinned wild man, because she realized that the feeling of adventure and freedom she had with him would never become real, because he only kept talking about those things, but never in all this time took the princess out to actually be free.
Good looks?? Definitely!!
During that time, the princess fell for several other men, for some because of their good looks, for some because of their charming character, for some because of the shimmering and sparkling goods they could provide, and for some who had all of this. But there always came a time when the princess would find out that it was the same with all those men, one way or the other. There was less to them than meets the eye.
Shimmering, sparkling goods?? Totally!!
One day, when the princess had almost given up on finding her prince, there came a man in her life, that seemed to be brave, and charming, and entertaining, and on top of all good-looking and true. Once more, maybe against better knowing, the princess fell in love. She had a good time with that man, even though maybe the time was short. Because after this short while, as it is with real men, real problems begin to appear in the princess’ life. The brave man she had met had secrets and features that she hadn’t seen at first and that made her life uneasy. But her attraction to this man was still there, and the princess came to know what it felt like to be unhappy in love.
a
It is not told how the story of the princess in her castle and the brave, good-looking man ends. Did they end up together, despite of the problems they had? Or did they break up and the princess found another man, in a shining armour who showed her the world on his beautiful steed? No one knows, but it is said that the princess was never really unhappy, not even when she was sad about some prince-to-be. Because the story tells us that she had a lavish feast on her next birthday, and there were letters found from her good friends the dudettes, lying in the black book the pale man once gave to her, reminding her of what’s to come and what’s to stay:
a
Soul, before you my life was like a moonless sky. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ….And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. If you were gone, everything would go black. Nothing would change, but my eyes would be blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there would be no more reason for anything.

Soul,
Happy Birthday!!!!! I hope you have an amazing time celebrating your birthday, whatever crazy things you will be up to . I am so lucky that I found your blog and met you! (not in person of course lol). I don’t know how I would have expressed my many many thoughts about Twilight without you. I have not met anyone in my life that has the same obsession that I do with Twilight! Our long discussions and intense anticipation of the movies has been a godsend! You make me feel a little less crazy And throughout all the Twi-talk, you have been a great friend too. Love you girl!
Your American friend,
Michelle

Remember Nott Seear? Probably not. I didn’t either. She was the one who played Heidi in New Moon. You know, the one who brings in all those delicious humans just as Bella, Edward and Alice are about to leave the Volturi. Just in case you don’t remember that either. I won’t blame you if you don’t cause Heidi is approximately as important as Bree. Oh no, wait. Bad example, that little girl got a whole book of her own… Oh whatever. What I’m trying to say is I didn’t care about Heidi or Noot at all. Until she started hanging out with Justin Timberlake. In Paris. At the Eiffeltower. By night. And now I’m jealous.
Honestly Givenchy? The Eiffeltower illuminated by night? One of my favorite spots on this earth? Plus Justin Timberlake? One of my favorite guys on earth? (Yes, I even think he is hotter than Rob!) I would take him as my fake boyfriend any day! Next time just give me a call, k? Cause I can run in high-heels as well. Plus I look unbelievably beautiful right next to the Eiffeltower. Or Justin. Or both. Just saying.
a
Off to give Justin a call and ask him to meet me in Paris
First of all: I can’t believe NO ONE sent in a pic of Bella’s bedsheets to prove they’re the same in which Barney and Britney get it on. Your bad though cause this also means NO ONE of you won our awesome fake prize, a night with Edward between the purple sheets. So i google image searched that shit myself and here comes the proof that I was right:
aaa
aaa
aaa
aaa

aaaa In other news: No Bella and Edward, I did NOT forget about your wedding anniversary on the 13th. Friday the 13th, how fitting. I simply decided to fully ignore it and pretend that never happened. Why? Isn’t that obvious? Your wedding resulted in you going on your Isle Esme honeymoon trip resulted in you finally loosing your virginities and getting it on resulted in Bella being pregnant resulted in that whole Renesmee demon-baby bullshit. See, it all makes sense now! If we just don’t acknowledge your wedding anniversary we can pretend nothing of that happened. Tadah, much better version of Twilight! So no, I will never ever in a million years celebrate the day that brought on all that cray cray stuff about a demon-baby that tears his mother’s spine apart, forces her to drink blood, the vampire c-section plus a hormonal teenage werewolf falling in love with aforementioned baby. Cause those are the things that make me embarrassed to admit I like Twilight. And NOT the fact that it’s a cheesy love story. Alright, glad we straightened that one out.

Feels good to be back to blogging! I missed all of you!
