Twilight Cast

Hi all.

The time has come to reveal my alternate Twilight cast. What I'm going to do is post them one at a time with why I think they would be a good 'stand in' for the person who was actually cast to play the character. I'll include a little actor's biography and a list of where you might have seen them.

Have a wonderful weekend Twilighters and I'll see you back here soon.

The Weather in Forks, WA

We here in Southeast Ohio are smack dab in the middle of an abysmal winter wonderland. As I checked the upcoming weather conditions for our area yet again, I wondered what the weather was doing in good old Forks, Washington.

I know I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was a little, just for a second. Then I laughed. Forks really does sound like my idea of Heaven. 100% chance of rain?! Who gets that lucky? Love it.

If Bella, Edward and Jacob were real, I don't know what they'd be doing right now. But whatever it is, I bet it would be indoors.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Taylor

For those of you with your heads buried in the sand (ala an ostrich) let me be the first to remind you that a certain delicious man-boy turns 18 tomorrow.

Legal. He he he.

That "he he he" was meant to conjure the sinister laugh of a wanton caged 'cougar' pacing, waiting to launch and devour such young succulent meat.

But in all honesty, I jest. Yes, it's true that Taylor Lautner is now almost 18 years old but that really means nothing untoward. Those of you who think like I do, and I'm sure there are tons of you out there, will find that it's barely a blip on your importance radar. It doesn't matter at all how old Taylor is. Because it's not Taylor we love and fawn over. It's Jacob Black, the literary character. Taylor is merely a conduit through which we can realize one interpretation of Jacob. Because we love those characters, it's easy to get caught up in the hype of Twilight star mania. 

Twilight Mom Inspirational Poster (grr!) Men do ogle 17 year old girls. How many men do you know who don't fantasize about high school cheerleaders? Please.

Its true, Taylor is a beautiful boy man now. May we all pause for a moment to appreciate him for the man fantasy he is. We can do it if we want to, because that's how fantasies work. I just felt the urge to clarify because some people out there would misinterpret our affectionate ardor (read: think we are perverted older women for ogling that fresh tender man flesh) when there is a perfectly sensible explanation. Let our critics not forget, Jacob isn't a real person. In our minds it is Jacob we love, not Taylor (although we may appreciate him for his inspired portrayal of Jacob) and also in our minds, we are that 16 year old counterpart, perfectly acceptable mate for young *fictional* Jacob.

So all our opponents should just take a pill and relax. The Twilight Saga mania surely can't last forever. Some day all too soon the  Twilight hysteria will be over and we'll be back to our mundane lives. The joy of living in this moment will be a dim memory. Those who find it so distasteful to see middle age moms screaming outside Twilight venues when Taylor or Rob walk by should keep that in mind. Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone! Come on, let us have this one!

SOME Pictures are >1000...

Hello my little Twilight lovelies. I know I've been a gal of few words these past weeks and for that I sincerely apologize. But you know how it goes. Sometimes you get busy, sometimes there isn't anything much you want to say and sometimes pictures just say it better than words.

In that vein, let me just add. . .
