Stephenie’s Myspace Update

Wanted: Breaking Dawn Skin

Greetings, talented fans! It’s past time to get this myspace ready for the countdown to Breaking Dawn, but I have no skillz myself. So I was hoping someone wouldn’t mind making me one…please? With sugar on top?

If you know of a great chess-y red-black-and-white skin, or have just made one in response to my plea, please post the link in the comments here, as my mailbox is a blackhole from which no one ever returns. I’ll use my favorite to make this space happy and festive and all ready for August 2nd.

Thanks!

S

 

Edited: Within the comments Stephenie then added this information:

"I am planning to do a "Quote of the Day" again for Breaking Dawn. Right now it’s a question of where the quote will be revealed, but I should have an answer soon (when everyone gets back from their 4th vacations). I will most likely do 3 weeks of quotes–so something like 21 quotes counting down to the release."

 

 

The Evening Post…

Starpulse.com has an article about our fascination with Vampires. The article explores some of our favorite vampires and some not so much: from the cancelation of "Moonlight" to a brand new HBO series that will be debuting next season entitled "True Bloods." "Twilight" is described as an avenue in which its fans can escape to a different world from their own.

 Mercury News has an article about all the cool things you could do over the holiday weekend. From Fireworks displays to parades to blockbuster movies to checking out The Host there is a wide variety of ideas. Go check it out!

Aced Magazine has a review of The Host.

Taylor Lautner

Few actors bring a smile immediately to our faces the way this one does.  From popping in and out of on set interviews to his infectious laugh, Taylor Lautner has always been a favorite of ours.  It is our fondest pleasure to present our on set interview with the actor cast as Jacob Black in the film adaptation of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer:
