All you need to do is go to Cafepress and put any twilight character name or saying through the search and tons of options will pop back up. The Lexicon has it’s own Cafepress store. Our most popular items are seen above. The bags make an excellent item to have celebrities sign at conventions.

Official Quileute Nation Store

It you are looking for authentic, look no further. The Quileuete Nation has its own store that sells tee shirts, hand-carved necklaces, even smoked salmon. All money goes to supporting the tribe and education for the kids who live there.

Everything Booboo a Booboo Stewart site

Did Booboo Stewart charm you in Eclipse or at a fan convention? Well there is a store that is all Booboo all the time! They have everything from various Team Booboo tee shirts to life-sized cardboard cutouts.

Actor Tees at Twi-Gear

Let’s say you want to profess you Charlie Bewley or Alex Meraz love. Twi-Gear has the answer for you. Pick and actor and there is a tee dedicated to that actor, often with their input. They also have fantastic general Twilight inspired tees. Not to be missed are their track jackets and warm ups not seen elsewhere.

Licensed Gear at Hot Topic

Hot topic has products with officially licensed images from the movies. They have rolled out a couple of new items for Christmas from tees to necklaces. There’s also a new throw that we haven’t seen before. Note: Hot Topic tees can run small. Their Torrid counterpart sells roomier and plus sized merchandise.

Chaske Spencer Motley Press Interview

chaske_gilMotley Press has an interview with Chaske Spencer that covers a lot of new turf.  It’s in PDF format. Chaske’s interview starts on page 12.

It is a long journey from the Northern Cheyenne and Nez Perce reservations of Chaske Spencer’s childhood to the red carpet premiers filled with screaming fans in Hollywood and across the globe. A journey through the games of Hollywood, and one that saw Chaske in jail and confronting addiction on a path where he saw death looming in front of him. One constant for Chaske on his journey has been his traditional beliefs which helped him find his center through fame garnered as Sam Uley on the set of Twilight and the harrowing time he spent in jail in New York. Chaske took the time to discuss his journey with us, starting with the whirlwind of
the last year and what his current projects are.
Chaske Spencer: I just finished a movie called Shouting Secrets. I’m pretty proud of that one. We did it in Globe Arizona and I really liked the story. I found out that the script is also written by Steven Judd who is a native American screenplay writer and very talented. It was first written for a Dutch family and they were trying to get it financed and for some reason they switched over to a Native American family and I did not know that when I first read it, so it doesn’t really read as a Native American movie. It is like a family movie and the people just happen to be  Native American. It was a different twist on things. It was totally a movie written for a Dutch family and you know it just interested me. I really like the character I play.

I finished that project and I’m gearing up to do Breaking Dawn in November. I think we’re shooting through March. After that I’m gearing up doing Winter in the Blood, the James Welch Novel, with Andrew and Alex Smith who did the Slaughter Rule.

Twilight Actors Celebrate Thanksgiving 2010

First up is Ashley Greene who tweeted a picture of her whimsical breakfast.

Ashley later showed us the dinner table as well. She said, “I’m Incredibly thankful for SO many things..most of all my wonderful family and friends who continuously love and support me 🙂 Annnnd I’m thankful for all my amazing fans! You guys deserve your own separate tweet 🙂 Cant wait to read all your Turkey Day stories! Xo

Erik Odom, who plays Peter in Breaking Dawn, gave us his recipe for bacon-apple pie. Yes, that’s not a typo, bacon-apple pie.

Apparently it’s a great combo recommended by Rachel Ray.

Kellan Lutz Tweeted, “Happy Thanksgiving. Hope You all had a great thanksgiving! With family and friends together! I love Traditions. Comatose time. Thx Turkey.”

Peter Facinelli tweeted, “Happy Thanksgiving Twitterverse! and thanks for al the birthday well wishes. Gotta go… turkey’s gobbling….”

Tinsel Korey spent the day reading The Deathly Hallows and loved the classic Molly Weasley line,”Happy Turkey Day Everyone! Time for some Pumpkin Pie next! *Drools* Mmmmmmmm.”

The Twilight Saga Christmas Shopping Guide Part 1

Last year we got hammered with questions starting right after Thanksgiving from boyfriends, husbands, fans, you name it on “Where can I get Bella’s bedspread?” or “Do you have any idea how I can get my girlfriend Bella’s engagement ring?”  So this year, we decided to put together our very own Twilight Saga shopping guide. Now there are a million vendors out there who specialize in Twilight Crafts, and we’d close for all other business if we tried to list all of them. It’s not to say if something isn’t listed here that that product is bad; it just didn’t make our list. These are just a few of our personal favorites.

Tomorrow we will be back with part 2 which will be clothing focused.

Bella’s Bedspread at Target

edbellabedThis is the lovely bedspread, also known as the purple flocked comforter found exclusively at Target.

Here’s the product description:

  • Weave Type: Plain
  • Fabric Treatment: Flocked
  • Bed Topper Features: Jump and Tack Quilting
  • Bedskirt Features: 15″ Drop
  • Includes: Bedskirt, Comforter, 2 Shams included in Full, Queen, King, Cal King set, 1 Sham included in Twin/Twin XL set
  • Polyester
  • Fiber Content: 100 % Cotton
  • Number of Pieces: 4
  • Care and Cleaning: Dry Clean

The set comes with a comforter, 2 shams, and a bed skirt. It has an overwhelming number of 4 star reviews from satisfied customers. Occasionally Target has given us one to give away and it’s traditionally been one of our hotter giveaway items. It’s a nice subtle way of professing your Twilight love in the bedroom without having Robert Pattinson’s or Taylor Lautner’s faces loom up at you. Also, your significant other will probably never know it’s Twilight connected unless you tell him. Prices range from $89.99 to $99.99 depending on size. Target’s current holiday deal includes free shipping.

Bella’s Bracelet ™ and Bella’s Engagement Ring® at Infinite Jewelry

Before there was even a hint at a viable movie, Infinite Jewelry was producing the Bella’s Bracelet ™ and Bella’s Engagement Ring®. Their versions of the ring and bracelet were done in complete consultation with Stephenie Meyer. Lots of painstaking detail went into the wolf on the bracelet to get it just right. The wolf is also made of copper (to look like wood) and not wood because the designers realized that such an intricate wood carving would chip and damage in no time, and they wanted a durable product.

The engagement ring comes in yellow gold (just like the book description) and also white gold. There are various versions of the ring ranging from a fashion edition (given away on the Oprah Winfrey show last year, and mentioned on yahoo) all the way to a fine (real gold) and genuine (real gold and real diamonds) editions.

There are other versions of these products by other vendors, but we personally like this one better. One, the ring is more subtle than the version from the movie which we feel practically swallows your whole knuckle. Two, the wolf carving on the bracelet is the most intricate we’ve, seen and was done by consulting with Stephenie Meyer. In our opinion, it’s hard to go wrong when Stephenie consulted on the design.

They also have other merchandise: watches, necklaces, etc. that are inspired by the Twilight Saga.

Authentic Twilight Star Autographs and photographs at Creation Entertainment

If you are going to go out and spend money on an item signed by an actor, you want to know that that particular actor actually signed the item. Creation has it’s own autograph store. The actors actually signed the items at events run by Creation. We’ve seen a lot of fakes or misrepresentations on Ebay. Thanksgiving weekend Creation has a free shipping special going. Take advantage of it while it lasts.

Aside from their autograph area, they have a photo collection of high quality 8  X10, glossy studio stills and poses that are exclusively at their site (see photo at left). They are perfect for decorating rooms, lockers, etc, and at $ 6.00 it’s hard to go wrong. Call it an over-sized stocking stuffer.

Creation also runs the Official Twilight Tour in the US.  So if you need convention tickets, from a company that has been in the fan convention business for over 30 years, check them out here.

In fairness of full disclosure, the Lexicon has appeared on panels at a number of Creation Events.

Twilight Saga Calendars, Twilight Saga Deluxe Scene It and more at Amazon

There is every style of calendar that you can think of from various version of 16-month to the traditional 12-month. Amazon has some other great deals like the  complete Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse trading card sets, and the new, deluxe version of Scene It. The links go to the Lexicon Amazon store. A portion of the funds help to keep us running.

Twilight Saga Dolls at Tonner Dolls and Barbie

Tonner Dolls has been in the fine doll production business for years. They recently added new Bella and Edward models to their collection. They also have Alice for the first time, as well as all the villain vampires from Twilight. The Alice description reads:

“ALICE CULLEN is the latest member of the CULLEN clan to join Tonner®’s line of TWILIGHT TCF™s.  ALICE arrives wearing a costume reproduction from NEW MOON, and includes a striped blouse with bow tie collar, slim cut twill pants, plush corduroy vest, knit socks, and faux leather ballet flat.  ALICE’s CULLEN crest necklace is also included.   Ashley Greene Head Sculpt w/ 16″ Ballerina Bust Tyler Convertible Body; Amber Eyes with Wigged Hair and Cameo Skintone”

In fairness of full disclosure, they are an advertiser on the Lexicon.

Now if you are a Barbie collector, there are a series of dolls to fit the bill. Aside from the trio, there are Jane and Victoria. We just bought the Victoria doll and the detail is fantastic, especially the hair color and style

You can catch the entire collection on Amazon. The links go to the Lexicon Amazon store. A portion of the funds help to keep us running.

Yes, It Is Actually Kristen Stewart’s Arm

Tama0026 on Twitter did some research, blew up some photos, and has come to the conclusion that it is Kristen Stewart’s arm in the photo that we posted earlier today. Check out her side-by-side comparison below.

EDITED: Confirmed direct from Summit entertainment that it is Kristen’s arm!

As for the bruises, we’re thinking they are probably higher up on her arms. With Stephenie as producer there is no way they are not going to be there.

Bill Condon Wishes the Fandom Happy Thanksgiving Isle Esme Style

No pictures of burly camera operators trudging across crunchy grass in booties, or  flying fish  a la the style of David Slade.  After months of photos like that, and occasional links to side projects, David delivered a photo of Riley.

Bill Condon has pretty much cut to the chase here with a sexy, tongue-in-cheek photo. Perfect considering it’s Thanksgiving and many a bird was plucked for today’s dinner. Bill Condon clearly likes to communicate specifically with the fans, has a sense of humor, and delivers what they want.

Below is the photo(taken by Andrew Cooper) posted on the official Twilight Facebook page that accompanied Bill Condon’s short but sweet Thanksgiving message.

“Happy Thanksgiving and a crazy Black Friday to all of you and yours.” – Bill Condon

EDITED: Confirmed direct from Summit entertainment that it is Kristen’s arm!
