Twilight

Twilight

This weekend the weather was bad and there was nothing on television. Therefore, I decided to rent the only thing that I hadn’t already seen on PPV. I was astounded at how wonderful the movie was, and immediately wanted to see what my fellow Triond writers thought of Twilight. Of course, I found tons of pro Twilight articles. However, I found one article, “Why To Hate Twilight” that was written to bash the Twilight series. The author, Sarah Rebecca, composed 95 reasons to hate Twilight, most of which I adamantly disagree with. Some of the reasons were just too nonsensical to even address. Reasons like- because it is “stupid”, “dumb , and Harry Potter could beat the main Twilight character with his magic powers, etc… wasn’t worth my time and effort. So, I just picked a few out of the article to rebut here

The rebuttal uses many of her own claims against her. For example, in one breath she claims the series is cliche’. Yet, she also claims that the Twilight series does not follow any of the “rules” that other vampire authors have set. This simply is not sensible. Those who do not Twilight often defame the fans as obsessed. And, again, in the very breath will claim that Harry Potter could kick Edward into oblivion. Be sure to read all of the rebuttal here  

I think it to be absurd to rip apart fans and the author of Twilight simply because one does not like the content. I do not care for Harry Potter, but that does not mean that I need to claim that the author can not write well and the fans are all going to hell. It just means that I do not like the story and do not want to be a fan.

It really all boils down to personal taste. Some will see the dazzling plot and originality of Twilight. Others will not. I personally found it to be a breath of fresh air from the usual vampire movies. There are only so many times that one can watch the same old stereotypical vampire woo women, sleep in his coffin, and gorily go on eating frenzies. For the close minded vampire fan Twilight will be an atrocity to all things vampire. But, for those that appreciate adding new dimensions to old ideas, Twilight will be seen as a sensational piece of work.

Copy the Jewelry Style of your Favorite Twilight Character

Copy the Jewelry Style of your Favorite Twilight Character

After the first Twilight movie phenomenon and with another one on the way, we just can’t get enough of what our favorite characters are wearing both on and off screen. From their signature rings and bracelets to pieces inspired by the scene-stealing actors, Twilight style is taking the world by storm.

One of the most memorable pieces in the film is the turquoise watch bracelet worn by our favorite character, Bella. This piece is both delicately romantic and uniquely intriguing. To get the look, try a sterling silver cuff bracelet with large turquoise stone as the focal point. For a light look, wear with floral blouses to give off a bohemian chic vibe. Another Bella favorite is the ring with dome shaped stone, which is a gift from her mother in the movie. This fun accessory takes on a youthful twist, as the ‘evil eye’ ring.

Rosalie also conquers vampire jewelry style on screen with a great pair of eye catching sterling silver hoop earrings adorned with discs. They are feminine but not too over the top for her character. As the movie is tied to family heritage, you’ll also remember the Cullen family crest necklace, which is a jewelry staple. To try a modern take on this movie must-have, consider a charm bracelet that you can adorn with trinkets related to your favorite character or the movie in general.

Off screen, the Twilight cast has been plastered all over the press rocking a laid back vibe in their wardrobe and jewelry choices. For Kristen Stewart, this means chunky metal and leather bracelets and chain necklaces for casual wear. Her jewelry choices for the red carpet are minimal and simple necklaces, which allow her true beauty to shine through. It’s obvious we’re going to be seeing a lot more of Kristen and the rest of the Twilight crew and we can’t wait to see how their style continues to evolve.
