The Twilight Saga: New Moon Edward and Jacob Cutouts

In a previous post, I had jokingly posed the question as to whether the life-size Robert Pattinson aka "Edward" cutout featured in the new Nordstrom Twilight: New Moon Collection was for sale? Well apparently it is. And so is the life-size Taylor Lautner aka "Jacob" cutout. You can now buy them both at Nordstrom.com.

Which got me thinking. Why all of a sudden are these cutouts for sale? This is the answer:

Middle-aged women stealing Robert Pattinson cutouts from Nordstrom! How the hell did they even get them out of the store?

So what was Nordstrom's response? Sell the suckers for $33 a piece and make a profit off of these women's obsessions. Brilliant! Way to give the people what they want Nordstrom!

New Moon Clothing Collection at Nordstrom Available

The Twilight Saga: New Moon fashion collection is now available at Nordstrom and at nordstrom.com.

My only question...is the Edward cut-out for sale?

The Twilight Journals

My husband forwarded me an e-mail he got from Borders telling him about a new Stephenie Meyer release called the Twilight Journals. He thought this would be of interest to me since I'm a big Twilight fan. What he doesn't seem to understand is that I am a Robert Pattinson fan, not a Twilight fan...big difference.

This new marketing ploy is a set of four journals in the Twilight-theme for people (OK, girls) to use to write down their "thoughts and dreams, stories and secrets". You know the Twilight moms are going to be buying this so that they'll have some place to store all that dirty fan-fic they've been dreaming up (not me, I swear).

The set of four journals can be pre-ordered at Borders.com for $17.49. They will be available on Oct 13th (my birthday! what a coincidence.)

P.S. I give Stephenie Meyer an "F" for originality on this one...does she really need to steal yet another concept from The Vampire Diaries?

The Robert Pattinson Shower Curtain

For those who cannot get enough of the man that is Robert Pattinson...behold the Robert Pattinson Shower Curtain. This shower curtain is available on Etsy from CustomizedShowerCurtains.com.

FYI: these shower curtains sold out pretty quickly when they first became available (shocker), but I think they've got a couple left.

The Perfect Afternoon: New Kate Spade Wallet and Robert Pattinson

My company decided to do summer Friday's this year so I get to leave work at 12:30pm every Friday until September...so today, instead of schlepping home on the bus, I decided to go uptown to Bloomingdales and finally use that $50 gift card I've been holding onto since October! I got myself a new wallet. Take a look:

The tag said it was on sale for $93.75 (original price $125)...then I noticed the 40% off sign...total purchase price: $57 (+tax)!!! Minus my gift card, I ended up spending $10. It really doesn't get any better than that.

But it does get better...

Because I was strolling along Park Ave that same afternoon and what should I come upon but the filming location for the movie Remember Me. The movie starring Robert Pattinson. There must have been like 300 girls hanging out there with their cell phones and cameras all ready to take a pic of RPattz. And yes, since I had nothing better to do, I stood right along with them hoping to get a glimpse. One woman told me she had already been waiting an hour and nothing. She did however see Pierce Brosnan walk by (he's in the film too, he plays RPattz's dad). I guess that's a good consolation prize. And then all of a sudden, the trailer door opened, and out came Rob looking handsomely disheveled as always. I didn't get a picture because he literally walked out of the trailer and jumped into a car with tinted windows and sped off. No wave, no acknowledgement...I think he's learned not to egg on the crowd. But just the same, it capped off a perfect Summer Friday afternoon.

This is the paparazzi pic from today's shoot:

P.S. I love that he's wearing that Stolichnaya T-shirt! Way to represent us Russians!

A Reason to Write About Robert Pattinson

Us Weekly has published a special, limited-edition magazine called The Sexy Stars of Twilight. I found out about this from a daily newsletter I get from the magazine (I swear I didn't go searching for this). The magazine is full of photos of the stars and behind-the-scenes info. It also includes seven pull-out posters...five of which include Robert Pattinson (shocker).

Also, New Moon, the second book in the Twilight series, has been re-released with a new cover featuring the stars from the movie.

Both of these items would be perfect if you are looking for a gift for a tween, teen, or um...adult who is obsessed with Twilight (OK, yes that does include me).
