Quileute Nation Photo Policy
April 17, 2010
The Quileute Nation has a photo policy that’s now in effect. It doesn’t affect private citizens so much as it does businesses. What is comes down to more than anything else is just simple respect and common sense. In other words if you are visiting LaPush and taking photos for personal use of scenery, no problem. If you are fortunate enough to be there for a live performance (as with any live performance say in like a Broadway theater) see if photography/video is allowed before firing away. If you see something else that you want a photo of like someone’s private home, people at work on their fishing boats, kids playing (you get the idea) it would be polite to ask first. Lastly, (and we feel stupid saying this, but seemingly people don’t read signs) don’t take photos of clearly marked sacred ground that is marked no admittance!
The reason for the policy is simple. Sometimes photos and videos have ended up being used in not the most respectful of ways or have been mislabeled. For example, an MSN film crew photographed their burial ground (later taken down)which is considered sacred and private. Think about it this way, if you had just buried one of your relatives, would you want their resting place plastered all over the news? The other factor is that the Quileute people don’t want to be misrepresented by people who visit once and decide they know it all. In other words how would you like it if a film crew/author etc. came to your neighborhood and did a documentary and didn’t consult you.
In any case they have an Indian Country Etiquette guideline on their website to help visitors, and below the cut is a more detailed policy regarding filming and the artwork of the Quileute Nation that they consider proprietary in nature so that they have a say in how their nation and culture is represented to the public.
And while we are speaking of the Quileute Nation, why not support their tribe by stopping by their store. [Read more…]
Robert Pattinson Birthday Project
April 17, 2010
Our friends over at Robert Pattinson Online just sent us this email.
“We just wanted to inform you of our 2010 Birthday Project for Rob! Last year,our project was a success! We sent Rob a 100+ page book (which was filled back to back with over 2,000 submissions) and this year, we’ve partnered with two Rob LiveJournal communities, to bring you the 2010 Birthday Card Project!
The project is for fans to use a standard piece of paper (8.5×11) and create a birthday card for Rob! They can write a simple message (such as ‘Happy Birthday’ or ‘Happy 24th Rob!’) and then decorate the card however they’d like.
It’s a great way for fans to be creative and unite to wish Rob a Happy Birthday! (His birthday is May 13th!)
You can find all the details on the project here: http://www.robertpattinsononline.com/2010birthdayproject
We were hoping you might be able to help us out and spread the word. ”
So if you are a Rob fan, send him a greeting, and don’t worry the folks over at Robert Pattinson Online can handle the volume. They are a great site and have been following Rob since before his Twilight fame so check them out.

Also one last item of note. Frequently on Twitter, because of the 140 character limit, people shorten the name of any Twilight convention to âtwiconâ. Not a big deal, but it does and has caused some confusion because there was also a company that did a convention last year in Dallas that has just gone out of business called âtwiconâ. Creation Entertainment, HUB Productions, Twilight FanTrips, Eternal Twilight, etc. all have events that people sometimes shorten to âtwiconâ but these companies have never had any association with TwiCon Partners LLC . TwiCon Parters LLC was only in business for slightly more than two years . They did a convention last year in Dallas and was supposed to do two this year in Vegas and Toronto/Ottowa, but they have now gone out of business. Creation Entertainment, HUB Productions, Twilight FanTrips, Eternal Twilight, have been in the convention business for decades doing business in many fandoms.

Especially if you have a smart phone, one of the easiest ways to keep up with your Twilight news is by following the Lexicon on Facebook and Twitter.
We do all kinds of random chatting on Twitter which we like to think is fun, we live tweet the Official Creation Twilight conventions, and red carpet events like we did with Remember Me (mind you, we would have LOVED to have done the New Moon carpet but there was no signal that day). Some of our favorite Twitter pictures: Kiowa Gordon, Kellan Lutz, Robert Pattinson
We do the same sort of thing over on Facebook, and now we’ve made it easier to comment on the blog using your Facebook ID if you want. Right now we are actually giving away a Peter facinelli autograph to a Facebook follower, so come and join us!
VMan: AKA Hello Xavier Samuel and Kellan Lutz
April 16, 2010
Both Kellan Lutz and Xavier Samuel (Riley in Eclipse) are in a new photo spread, according to MTV Hollywood crush, on VMan.
According to Hollywood Crush: “You were probably just going along with your Friday, getting ready for the weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then these photos of five super-hot actors looking dapper in suits for a style feature in the latest issue of VMAN (it hits stands on April 20) came along, guaranteed to add 100 percent more drool to your day. Don’t thank us. We do it because we love you.”
Xavier seems to be sporting a Don Johnson retro Miami Vice look from the late 1980’s.
Water For Elephant’s Extras Casting, and Expectations
April 16, 2010
Well it looks like we called it when last week we said that producers for Waters for Elephants, staring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon among others, were going to get more than they bargained for by putting out an extras casting notice on Craig’s List. Between the Pattinson craze and the fact that a lot of people don’t read the fine details, well things aren’t quite going to plan.
According to the Water for Elephant’s site as pointed out to us by MTV’s Hollywood Crush:
“Earlier in the week WaterforElephantsfilm.com broke the news that Water for Elephants was holding an open casting call for Extras to appear in the film. Well, at first sites like Mtv.com were posting the correct details (Robert Pattinsonâs âWater For Elephantsâ Is Looking For Extras!) but before we knew it we were seeing headlines such as these in our email in-boxes:
Want to be on screen with Robert Pattinson?
Want to star in a movie with Robert Pattinson?
How To Star Opposite Robert Pattinson
I think that many of these attention getting headlines were just that, meant to catch your attention as opposed to disseminate misinformation, but it has created some serious confusion.
The majority of the stories out there seem to be accurate, however to clarify things, click here to see the casting information directly from the Casting Agency. The casting is for non-speaking extras and background performers. This is NOT an open casting call for speaking roles.”
The site then goes on to explain what typically happens when you are an extra, and what your expectations should be as your arrive. So if you fit the types that they are looking for, break-a-leg! If you’re not what they are looking for we would personally recommend that you not go down because it will probably only antagonize the organizers of the call, and that’s never a good thing.
Poll: What are you most looking forward to in Eclipse?
April 16, 2010
News is slow today, folks. Â I’m just going to come out and admit it! Â But as I’ve learned over the years, Twilight fans love to share their opinions, especially when it concerns how things will translate from book to film. Â I’d like to know which scene you are all most looking forward to seeing make that move from book to film. Â Since I haven’t seen the film, I’ve made the choices from scenes I’ve heard the actors talk about – scenes that I know were at least filmed and will probably make the final cut of the film. Â Kristen Stewart has spoken about the scene where Bella imagines a life with Jacob. Â We’ve heard rumbles about Jasper and the newborns. Â We’ve had hints to Rosalie and her bridal death scene. Â We know Edward and Bella end up engaged. Â Victoria has to die. Â David Slade even tweeted about the tent scene. Â So I’m pretty sure all of these moments will be in the final film. Â Vote for the one you are most excited about and let us know why you chose that scene. Â If there is another scene you’re crossing your fingers for, let us know about that one, too!
