My Date with Edward

Did I really stay up until midnight to go see this with 70 other friends? Yes. Yes, I did! My friend Allison (Twilight obsessed) was kind enough to organize a big ta-do complete with pre-party! So fun. We all met at her house for appetizers and desserts before heading over to the may-hem to get in some good people watching! Kari was my Vanna for the night. She cracks me up. Here are some hot mamas dressed up to impress the 20 SOLD OUT theaters full of women waiting to see the movie. That one girl in the black skirt is going to catch some nasty disease from a theater seat wearing that. Perhaps she didn't read the book and know that Edward is not attracted to that sort of girl?
PS..he prefers brunettes.

Here is Jenny witnessing the cuteness that is one of the many "Twilight Prom" couples there. I promise if my sons EVER have some girl try to talk them into doing some ridiculous thing like this, well, I'm not sure what I'll do short of promising something quite expensive to him as a bribe not to. This poor, poor, boy. He was one of the 10 there I think.

I tried SO HARD to get a picture of these two. This was the best I could do. Problem #1 - matching sweatshirts that say "Team Alice blah blah" What does that even MEAN? Does Alice even have a team? Apparently so. It's these two. Everyone else is hot for Edward or Jacob. Problem #2 - The sweatshirts were PINK! Who makes their husband or significant other come to the midnight premiere wearing pink Team Alice hoodies. Come on, let a man be a man.

Final thoughts? I really liked the movie. I pretended it was like watching a great tv show except for 2 hours. Acting was decent. Except a lying still scene that became long and awkward. Having to see James creepy and naked before he ate dinner. Watching Edward look really super ugly as he overindulged in Bella's blood. Watching semi-professional special effects. I enjoyed watching Edward in every single scene. He was beautiful in an odd sort of way. His "siblings" needed a bit of help in the hair department. Someone on set had never used bleach before and they all had really bad blond dye jobs. And whoever picked out the baseball hats, seriously? That was a joke, right? Do vampires have enormous fat heads?

But I'm finding myself slightly OCD about it today just like I was when I finished the first book. Can't wait till next November for New Moon and a fun midnight showing with a lot of great friends!!
