Are you sick of my twicon coverage yet??? Sorry! Not quite done yet! We had way too much "TWILIGHTY" fun to not share it all! So here goes a little more...
So in a previous post I mentioned the "Hillywood Show" right? They are some kids from Vegas who do a really funny spoof of Twilight. Well, they actually spoof a lot of popular movies, but this was their ticket to recognition for sure. They have had almost 2 million hits of this spoof. They are currently working on a New Moon one too. Anyway, these kids were actually staying on our floor and frequently hung out in the lobby area too. They opened many of the Twicon functions and had a booth near the vendors so people could get autographs and pictures with them too. I think the thing that makes these kids stand out is their attention to detail, and their ability to stay in character. Girls (inlcuding the teens in our group!) treated them almost like they WERE Edward and Bella...and Alice and Jasper. They were practically mobbed at the Volturi Ball. Now I don't personally think they really look much like them, but the clothing, makeup, wigs, etc. make you see them as the characters. Ok, but back to their appearance at the ball..."Alice" and "Jasper" came dressed for the prom. Alice's dress was just as Stephenie Meyer herself described it on her site. "Bella" and "Edward" decided to come dressed from the horrible cover of Entertainment Weekly last year! Did you see it? It was BEYOND awful. Well, actually Bella looked pretty, but Edward looked like a pasty creeper who want to befriend little boys! The makeup, the clothes, the dirty fingernails, but most especially the AWFUL hair (usually a fave) just couldn't have been worse. Now it was the first "Twilight" cover on a major publication. Most people still didn't "get it"...obviously Entertainment Weekly didn't back then! So...in conclusion (at least on this subject)...while I appreciate your attention to detail guys...next time choose a better "theme" for your ball appearance!
In my desire to post so much about our Twicon experience, I seem to have neglected the real reason behind this blog. Yes we love us some twilight. Yes I will always post random twilight things that catch my attention...BUT we are supposed to be all about our little Pocket Edward (hence the name, right???) So for our main "little" man...I'm including these great photos of him we took before a musical performance began. Yes...we were the crazies that ran up front, pulled out our dollie, and started snapping away while the audience cracked up and waited for the real show to begin! But wow...can he play that piano!
