The Twilight Engagement Ring: Proof that a Twilight Fan Will Buy Just About Anything

Infinite Jewelry Co. must have been suffering big time. What else would explain their great desire to partner with Stephanie Meyer and create a whole line of Twilight Jewelry. As far as I can tell from their website, that's all they sell now. The newest addition is the Twilight Engagement Ring.

The hoopla around this ring broke out today, a few days after the new trailer for Twilight Eclipse was released. The trailer included a glimpse of the ring, but apparently that was enough to get everyone excited about this piece of jewelry. If you are a die-hard Twilighter, then this ring is for you. If you have some taste, then you may want to skip it, and have your man get you a real ring. One that wasn't designed for a fictional character.

Here are the stats on the ring:

Available in 14K yellow gold or white gold (rhodium-plated for luster)

13 Diamonds - Brilliant cut, SI1 clarity, G-H color, approx. 1.06 carats

Price: $1979

PS: The $35 Fashion ring (all fake) and the $479 Fine ring (real gold, fake stones) are also available.

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.

Edward and Bella: The New Barbie and Ken?

Mattel is launching a line of Twilight dolls, specifically the Bella and Edward characters. The dolls will go for $25.99 which isn't terrible especially if you have a kid who wants both dolls. They are expected to be available November 2009 (just in time for the New Moon release). For the older Twilight collector (and you know who you are), The Tonner Doll Company has already released their own Bella and Edward. Except the Tonner dolls are a little pricier ($125.99!). Here's pics of both doll sets. FYI: I do not own any of these. I'm bad but not that bad. :)

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).
