Just Because I'm Not Here Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You...OR Rob.

2012-02-03T15:00:00.000-07:00

I'm making a conscious attempt to come back to blogging. I miss it SOOOOO much and I miss interacting with everyone. I've posted a couple of times over on my personal blog this week, so I thought it was time to post a little sumthin' sumthin' over here.

Although, I've been MIA for a few months, it doesn't mean I don't love you guys...or Rob...or Twilight. If we follow each other on Twitter (which I hope we do), you know that my love still stands.

Back in October, my big boss, The Gray-Heard Fox, made our whole office switch over to one gigantic server. As an increased safety measure, he had some new software installed that essentially can track when you're on the Internet and WHERE you're at while you're there. SUCKS. Big stinky hairy balls. I have always done the majority of my blogging from work, so this newly installed "Internet babysitting" put a kink in my schedule.

However, it just makes me TOO sad to stop by this blog or my personal one and feel like I've abandoned them. If you're a blogger, you know that your blog feels like your personal space...kinda like you're "baby". You start them and nurture them and watch them grow. Sorta. So, I'm going to try to blog more frequently...at least occasionally.

Who's stoked for BD1 on DVD/Blu-Ray next Friday?!?! WHUT?! WHUT?! I can BELIEVE that Summit is giving us the DVD already. What has come over them? They're never this nice to us. I'm feeling suspicious. But I'll take what they give me. I'm still pissed that there are no reported "commen-tree" on the extras. That is what MADE the Eclipse DVD. I've watched it more than the movie.

So, where are you buying your DVD/Blu-Ray? What's the extra and/or freebie you're wanting the most?

Jiff and I are heading over to Hastings for our Blu-Ray and we're getting some cute BD1 luggage tags! Then we're probably buying our DVD from Wal-Mart for their Wedding Dress cover...and I think I heard you get a poster or something like that.

You can check out BreakingDawn-TheMovie.com to find a midnight release party closest to you!

Love you guys like a back-alley whore loves crack.

Twilight Tuesdays

2011-10-11T08:13:00.000-06:00

Summit is doing us a kindness and they are going to re-release Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse one night each during the month of November! They will play in theaters across the country starting on November 1st, with added bonus features such as; behind the scenes footage, comic con footage, and interviews with the cast!!

I'm kinda stoked for the Twilight Tuesday events. It's been a long time since I saw Twilight at the theaters (6 times). Almost 3 years ago...where has the time gone?

Oh, right. Fangirling. Obsessing. Drooling over The Precious.

Time well spent, if you ask me.

I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for this ride to be over...I'd sign up for another 3 years.

Where do I re-enlist?

Check your local theaters (through Fandango, possibly) and see if they are playing at a theater near you!

TwilightMoms.com has all the details. (click here)

#FORKS2011 - PSA

2011-10-10T14:20:00.004-06:00

As I'm sorting through my 569 photos of my #FORKS2011 trip, I'm trying to decide how to post them and give you guys the full story without boring you to death with a major pic spam. So, I've decided to break them up into several blog posts. This first one consists of pictures from my iPhone. We all know that the real story is on the iPhone. You take pics with your iPhone (or other smart phone) that you wouldn't/didn't/shouldn't/couldn't take with your regular camera.

Think of these next few pictures as my personal Public Service Announcement for traveling to Forks.

Plan to *squeeeeee* a lot at road signs. I don't know what it is...just the tangible fact that you're in the land of Twitardia or what, but it initiates this frenzy...you really lose all control.

Go to Sully's. They give you fangs with your Bella Burger and/or your Twilight Punch. BUT be careful. Fangs lead to hours of ridiculousness...and you could get black listed at Sully's. I'm guess mine and Jiff's names are on there..."those that shall never be allowed to dine here again...from henceforth..." or something like that.

Frisking is what? Good. Right. Do it. LOTS. And document it. You'll thank yourself later. And the weird dude in the parking lot will thank you too. I was wondering if perhaps they have a surveillance camera set up to catch all the shenanigans that take place in the parking lot of the Forks Chamber of Commerce?

Go to the Cullen House...right next door to the Chamber of Commerce, if for nothing else than to participate in more shenanigans in Carlisle's Office...and take cheesy pictures in front of the graduation caps. And the dude that runs the joint is really nice...and they have a pretty white kitty (so, heads up if you're allergic).

EVERYONE capitalizes on Steph's little story...and I mean EVERYONE...from the Forks Hospital to the little shack that sells firewood on your way out of town (Twilight Firewood...really?! I highly doubt it was called that prior to 2008.)

Re-enact as many scenes as possible. Come on. When else will you be able to just walk to the edge of a forest with a cardboard Edward and say "say it...out loud" and your friends just laugh hysterically with you?! Let me tell you. NEVER. So, take advantage of your location.

(while watching Twilight in our motel room that morning, we decided that this is how the "Distract Me" scene should have went down.)

If you run across a wooden lumberjack in the Forks Motel parking lot, it is NOT mounted properly. Leg hitch with caution...especially while intoxicated.

Don't poop in The Hoh. It's frowned upon.

Wherever you are...driving down the 101, venturing out into the Olympic National Forest, cruising through La Push...HONK FOR DEER. It's crucial.

We've found that they are quite lethargic and just asking to be hit. So, do your good deed for the day and save a deers life. It could be Edward's next meal.

This concludes my PSA for today.

No Pocket Edwards or deer were harmed during these events. However, a wooden lumberjack may be a tad bit more unstable.

#FORKS2011 - This Is How We Do It

2011-10-05T16:31:00.001-06:00

I don't think a lot of introduction is needed here. I went to Forks with a bunch of awesome people, the most awesomest being my roomies, Jiff and Michelle.

These are some of our adventures in the PNW.

I'll be back soon with a crap load of pics and my #FORKS2011flashbacks. I've got travel tips, insider info, and a few things you do NOT want to miss while you're there!

Hope you guys are having a great week!! *MUAH*

#Forks2011 Countdown

2011-09-13T10:27:00.000-06:00

Last year, about this time, I was absolutely devestated. A bunch of REALLY cool people (aka Twitarded) who I had just met were planning this REALLY cool trip to a place I REALLY wanted to visit. It just didn't seem fair. Why couldn't I have found out about #FORKS2010 earlier...why couldn't I just drop everything and fly to Seattle...why couldn't I have my own pilgrimage to the Promise Land?? Why, why, why?? It felt like I was always living vicariously through people.

Well, that was last year. Now, it's like Rob smiled down on me...and all of my Twilight stars lined up...and I rubbed the sparkle p33n and got like 3 vampire wishes or something...'cause I'm going this time.

I finally get to make the trek to the mecca...and it's only 15 days away!!! 15 days until Jiff and I hop on a jet plane. 15 days until we FINALLY get to meet @allthingsHHH in person...for realz...and then we'll be RL friends and force her to be Facebook friends with us. 15 days until I get to tackle hug @amandakmelby. 15 days until we're living it up in Seattle! That's like roughly 360 hours...it's 16 sleeps...only 2 more Mondays...not that I'm counting or anything.

I swear (sorta, ok not really) that I'm going to try to ~~be on my best behavior~~ ~~good~~ ~~semi-good~~ stay outta jail, but just in case, could we start a Pay Pal button for bail money?

Don't forget that if you want a post card from Forks, all you have to do is email me your addy (jennykate77@gmail.com or trixieandtess@yahoo.com ) and I'll send you one while I'm there!

Love you guys like a pimp loves hoes.

Tess Vlogs: FOOOORKS!, EW, and FF

2011-08-15T09:38:00.001-06:00

Before you start yelling at me through the computer screen, after having a good night's sleep and plenty of coffee this morning, I know that I read FRIDAY'S AT NOON and ONCE UPON A SATURDAY last week. I'm not a complete moron. I swear. I just come across that way on camera...and it adds 10lbs...and bad hair and pimples, no wait, I blame that on Aunt Flo.

So, here's a few links (title and author are linked, just click on the names) :

RaW = Righteous and Wicked by cherry.blossomz
Fridays at Noon by troublefollows1
Once Upon a Saturday by troublefollows1
The Weight of Words by georgiegirl
Somewhere Only We Know by @Suzie55 (I recommend EVERYTHING she's written!)
Animate Me by @abstractway

I hope this vlog doesn't keep us from being friends. I would like to say I'm not that annoying in person, but it's not true. And I can't lie. You go to Coweta for lying and I hate that place.

Here's a few reminders:
-Send your snail mail addy to me at trixieandtess(at)yahoo(dot)com or jennykate77(at)gmail(dot)com, if you want a postcard from Forks.
-Comment on this post letting me know, if you want a chance at winning an EW w/ the Breaking Dawn cover!

Rob Won An Adidas Sweepstakes

2011-08-12T00:04:00.001-06:00

So, earlier this week Rob and Sam were seen around LA buying groceries...and apparently, Rob won an Adidas Sweepstakes or he has a new obsession for all things Adidas. Something like that, because he was decked out from head to toe in Adidas. No complaints from me. He could wear Hammer pants for all I care.

(Pics from Robstenation)

His new Adidas wardrobe could also be courtesy of the Teen Choice Awards...they might have provided the swag bags?

Rob still had wonky hair at the Teen ...but it doesn't really matter. I could stare at that face all day (and all night...above me or below me, I'm an equal opportunity kinda girl.)

(Pics from JustJared)

Hello, handsome.

Gah, how does Kristen survive that on a regular basis?

Kills me *ded*.

I'm going to do a vlog this weekend and post it next week. I have a little project I want to do for Forks and some Fan Fic to discuss. So, that'll be up on Monday or Tuesday...and possibly a little giveaway, if any of you lovelies are interested?? Hmmm??

Tell me what Fic you're reading right now.

Also, what are you top 3 Fics of all time?

Hope you girls have a great weekend!! *muah*

100 Monkeys Concert and Jackson Rathbone P0rn

2011-08-11T16:06:00.000-06:00

As many of you know, I went to the 100 Monkeys concert with the lovely @JiffSimpson on Tuesday night! I popped my 100 Monkeys cherry...no longer a 100 Monkeys virgin.

Of course, we were totally on our best behavior. Ok, maybe not. But we had the BEST time! Right, Jiff? We had fun...didn't we?

We met some people, made some new Twitter friends and Jackson called me "doll"...probably the highlight of my night! Good thing Jiff made me get at the end of the line and sober up or I might not have even remembered our conversation. Thank you, Jiff! I owe you...oh, and thanks for talking me out of telling him about my BJ skillz. First drink in Forks is on me! ;)

So, you wanna hear about Jackson calling me doll? Ok, short and sweet. I was standing in line waiting to get some autographs (I wish I hadn't had those last two "Cherry Limeades"). I decided I needed a Wings on Fire t-shirt and a 100 Monkeys slap bracelet (I LOVE slap bracelets), so I handed the nice girl my debit card, but then I was close enough to Jackson that I was in a J-trance. Any of you who've seen/met him in person know what I'm talking about. I passed him my concert ticket and asked him for his autograph (reminding myself that Jiff told me the BJ discussion was the wrong way to go) and trying to keep my composure. I didn't want to go all fangirl on him. What I didn't realize was that the girl was trying to give me my card and receipt back...again, in a J-trance. So, he looked up at me, smiling, and said "there you go, doll"...and kinda winked. Yep, panty dropper.

Here's a few of my favorite pics from the concert:

*bromance*

What a freakin' cutie!!

*money shot*

*panty dropper*

It was a good night for this junkie. Hope you all get a chance to go to a 100 Monkeys concert while they're touring!! It was a super fun show and I walked away loving their music even more than I did before I went.

Have you been to a 100 Monkeys Concert? Planning on going? Tell me about it!

BCon, A Wonky Haircut, and Fan Fic

2011-07-22T08:50:00.002-06:00

BCon, that's my new name for Bill Condon. We're tight. I'm thinking of starting a blog just for him.

He may be my new crush. I just love that he gets us, ya know? He cares so much for this Saga and these characters that make up our wonderful world of Twilight...and it means so much. *tear*

Next, Rob's wonky haircut.

Didn't seem to keep Kristen's hands off of him. *WIN*

He could shave his head and still give good Jaw P0rn.

Thank God, the sex stare doesn't require a good haircut.

(a few of the above pics and MANY more can be found on Melbie Toast's Tumblr)

That's the Panty Dropper, folks. If yours didn't just fall off or melt into a pile of goo, there is something wrong with you and you should proceed to the nearest doctor's office to have your pulse checked. STAT.

And last, but not least a little fic talk.

I've been reading The Screamers by KiyaRaven (@KiyaRaven on Twitter) and it is amazing...SUPER funny and a bit ridiculous at times, but one of the best I've read. She's got a great talent for balancing the angst with the humor...and of course the LEMONS. We can't forget about the juicy, tart, lemony goodness. The Bella in this fic is strong and has overcome so many adversities in her life and somehow she manages to maintain her sanity...and snag a WAY HOTT and famous, Edward Cullen. One of the most fabulous and crazy things Kiya does in this fic is introduce RPattz as a character. I told her that she totally made my two worlds collide...and that I loved her for it. I still have about 9 chapters left to read, thank goodness, because I'm not ready for it to be over yet!

What are your thoughts on Comic Con, BCon, and Rob's side mullet?

Reading any good fics?

Hope you all have a great weekend!

OH, and tomorrow is Trixie's birthday...she's 29 (of course)...so, wish her a happy birthday!!

I love you guys. hard.

♥Tess

#SDCC Anybody??

2011-07-20T08:58:00.001-06:00

As many of our Twitter/Blogger friends hop on planes headed to sunny San Diego for Comic Con, we set here behind our computer screens green with envy...and TOTALLY happy for those that get to go.(of course)

We were wondering, how are you spending your summer? Are you one of the lucky people traveling to breathe the same air as The Precious and witness the Trifecta in person?

Trixie and I are once again living vicariously through other people...gettin' our fix through Twitter and such. We SWEAR one of these days we'll be the ones people are living vicariously through...we WILL get our Twi-moment together. (Right, Trix?!?!...please, say it's so!!)

I can't wait to see pics and get the 411 on The Con. I'm sure it's going to be chocked full of epicness.

I hope you girls took LOTS of extra panties (or go commando) 'cause there's going to be a ridiculous amount of panty combustion...I can just feel it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

How adorable are they??!!! Holy cheese and macaroni. I just want to eat them up!!!

I hope we have TONS more moments like this after the week is up!

Wanna know what else is chocked full of epicness? Me (Tess aka JK) going to Foooorks! 10 weeks until I fly to Seattle and meet up with a bunch of Twitards!! I can. not. wait.

How are you spending your summer? Any Twi-adventures?

♥Tess

Fan Fic Friday with Tess

2011-06-24T06:00:00.001-06:00

Two weeks, I told you I was reading The Submissive Trilogy. I finished up with The Training (last of the trilogy) on last Monday. The Sub Trilogy is AH-mazing!! My sensei, @allthingsHHH told me that it was a MUST-read for all fanfic readers and like a good grasshopper, I read it. She was right...it's like a classic. Everyone should read it! (click HERE)

After The Sub, I quickly jumped into The Tutor by ItzMegan73. You can find it on fanfic.net (click HERE).

The Tutor was SOOOOOO flippin' good!! It's about Edward and Bella as high school students and Bella is a new transfer into Forks High. I'm sure you can guess from the title that someone is a tutor and someone a tutoree (<---is that a word?). Anyhoo, it's a beautifully written story about E&B and it has a HEA, which is essential. The relationships of Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet are a fun part of the story. I always enjoy seeing how an author is going to incorporate the supporting roles. Edward is a badass, which is hott. I highly recommend!!

After The Tutor, I started reading my next fic...STAT.

That's the way I deal with ending a fic, I just immediately immerse myself in a new one. If I don't, the deep dark i-miss-Edward-so-much depression sets in and I get all emo and junk. It's not pretty. You should have seen me after I finished Emancipation Proclamation (my first fic). I was such a newbie and I didn't know where to go next. Similar to when I finished the Twilight Saga for the first time. You remember that feeling of emptiness and loneliness...sitting around wondering what Edward and Bella are up to. Thank goodness for Twitter and for super awesome friends who lead me in the right direction.

So, now I know. I have to have my next fic on the back burner...ready to go.

So, after finishing the Tutor...I can't tell you what I read because it's classified...ya know, "contraband" and I don't want someone using mean words and ALL CAPS at me in the comments or on Twitter, so I'll keep it myself. Thankyouverymuch.

Can I say that I think it's a damn shame that amazing fics have to be pulled?! It is such a travesty. (<---again flair for the dramatics.) In all seriousness, I've read a few fics now that are considered "contraband" and I can't imagine never getting the chance to read them.

I'm currently reading Caged Bird Sings by @suzie55. It feels good to be able to openly discuss a fic again! You can find CBS and the rest of Suzie's fics on fanfic.net (click HERE) and you can chit chat w/ Suzie on Twitter @suzie55...she's all shades of awesome!

What are you reading? Do you have any rec's for me?? Do you need a rec...looking for something to read?

Let's talk fic!

*bigsloppyfanfich00rkisses*

I'm a Twibetween and Some Rob P0rn (for good measure)

2011-06-23T09:43:00.001-06:00

Happy Thursday! I think every day is a day to be celebrated, right? I mean, we did wake up breathing this morning and Rob is still looking delicious as ever, so all-in-all, it's a going to be a good day.

PLUS, The super awesome chics at Twibetween let me be their Twibetween today! You can read my answers to their questions HERE. And if you're stopping by from there, I didn't want to disappoint you with a post from two weeks ago, so I specifically came over and threw up a post just for you. You should feel special.

I think Rob is an appropriate way to celebrate any occasion...even a random Thursday or the day Twibetween pimps you on their blog.

So, let the Rob P0rn commence.

(hello, jaw p0rn. nice to see you)

I don't know about you guys, but I've been feasting daily on eye candy from the set of Cosmopolis.

Rob just looks so so yummy in his crisp white shirts, black pants, and shades. Mmmmmm. I just wanna eat him with a spoon...or no utensils at all, yeah I'll go with my hands.

The man is sex-on-a-stick in a suit. Kills me *ded*.

Aren't him and Dean the body guard just cute?!

They make an adorable couple...I mean that in the bromance way, because of course I am Team Robsten all the way.

Which is why this picture pleases me to no end.

Rob looks totally bored with that Sarah chic.

(**pictures from Celebuzz.com)
What have you girls been up to lately? Are you looking forward to Cosmopolis? Have you read the book? Thoughts?

I'll be back tomorrow for a fan fic review post! Hope you all have a great day!
♥Tess

Fan Fic Friday with Tess

2011-06-10T10:12:00.002-06:00

Fan fic. It's hard to believe that a mere three months ago, I was totally oblivious to the wonderful world that was just a mouse click away. Sure I had seen people reference fics on their blogs. I saw a lot about some dude named Fifty and a hottass picture of Edward in a suit usually followed. There was talk about Master of The Universe and how "Icy" was the shit. But all of that was just talk to me. I had never taken the plunge...never dipped my toe in the waters.

I had yet to fall into the rabbitt hole...or jump...I think I kinda jumped. Head first.

I'm finding it difficult to even recollect how it happened. Someone...who was it...God bless them...I've got to remember their name. If it was you then you MUST speak up. Whoever, it was who had me read Emancipation Proclamation...I owe them. Like I should be indebted to them forever.

EP owned me. I hadn't been owned by a story and characters like that since I spent 7 days reading the Twilight Saga for the first time. It was magical. I was so in love with Mafiaward. It's such a powerful and moving story. I was so invested in the characters. I was reading it at stoplights and under the table at dinner..."bathroom breaks" at work. Most would probably agree that it shouldn't be anyone's "first". Not the best way to pop your fan fic cherry...it's so intense and angsty. I spent a whole Saturday just crying...ALL DAY.

After EP, I went onto something a little more fluffy. Edward Wallbanger. HALLELUJAH. I love this fic so much. The relationships between them all are so fun. Edward is a hunkalicious big shot photographer and Bella is an interior designer. Edward bangs walls. A LOT. If ya know what I mean. *raises eyebrows*

Clipped Wings and Inked Armor was my third fic. It's intense and sad...sad sad sad, but it's also HOT HOT HOT. Tattward has been the star of many of my dreams since reading this fic. Oh, and cupcakes...you can't forget the cupcakes! Thinking my next tattoo should be a cupcake in honor of Tattward...he is just that damn mind-blowingly-sexy. <---I think I just made that up "blowingly". Hmm. I like it.

*I got in trouble yesterday on the Twitter for proclaiming my love for CW&IA...I forget that having "contraband" and going public with that shit is against the "rules". Rookie mistake. Lesson learned.*

So, I'm sad to say the CW&IA is one of those AMAZING-everyone-should-read-fics that no longer is posted on fanfic.net or twilighted. *sad panda face*

As any good Grasshopper would, I've made my way through a lot of the "classics"...and I've loved each and every one of them...being OWNED by each fan fic while I was reading it...falling deeply and madly in love with Edward over and over again. That's the beauty of fan fic.

Knotches on my Fan Fic bedpost also include:
*Misapprehension of Bella Swan (Concerning Hockey Players...or something like that) - Hockeyward and Snarkella...such fun lemons and a seriously entertaining relationship between Bella and Emmett!
*The Office - Hello, Beautiful Bastard! Gah, I loved reading this story! Such a fun read. You'll never look at an office desk the same way again. Swearsies. And you might have trouble keeping your concentration in a conference room...EVER again. <---I know this from experience.
*Master of The Universe - If Fifty doesn't own you, he should. If you don't fantasize about the Red Room, you should. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the face of Twitardia who hadn't read it...so, I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about.
*The Blessing and The Curse - another angsty heart-wrenching read...but totally worth it! It was completely different from anything else I had read...shedding a new light on E&B's relationship. I loved it!
*Pound of Flesh (WIP) by @sophiejax or Jaxon22 - Punkassward is the hottest criminal you'll ever want to have <---in the biblical sense. He's angry, holds secrets, and has issues with the 'L' word. But a few chapters in and you'll be changing your nickname to "Peaches" and eating Oreos everyday.
*Help Wanted - another FANfreakinTASTIC fic by the awesomely amazing @sophiejax - Edward is an A-list movie star and Bella is a PA in need of work, hence the title "Help Wanted". Edward hires Bellas to be his PA and the rest is history...mixed in with a little angst, heart-warming-panty-dropping romance, and a whole lotta lemons...lemony lemony goodness.

I'm currently reading The Submissive Trilogy by @tarasueme or tara sue me. WOW. Once, again...I'm totally owned by a new fan fic and falling in love with a new Edward. Just so you know, I'll be Domward's sub anytime. No safewords...not even a fake one.

A big thanks to the follow fan fic h00rs for keeping me in the goods and rec'ing fics for me:
@allthingsHHH - she's like my sensei
@Smitten_RPattz - also been a mentor and leads me in the right direction
@dangrdafne - gives good fic
@Mama_Cougar - gives good fic
@ChloeCougar - gives good fic
@jedecec - gives good fic
@Fiftyownsme - my newest Twitter friend and giver of good fan fic rec's
@JiffSimpson - for being my IRL Twitter friend who I can talk all things fan fic with...what a life saver! I'd probably combust if I couldn't talk about it in person with someone. So, thanks, Jiff!

I'm sure I've missed someone important...but I've read a lot of fan fic and it's taking up a large portion of my brain...so, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

This was just kind of a post to summarize my fan fic experience thus far, but I plan on doing a Fan Fic Friday post each week with reviews of my current reads and rec's...and requests for rec's...and maybe some pics of my current favorite Edward.

I give you PAW (I borrowed this from http://tehlemonadestand.blogspot.com/)

'Til next Friday.

h00rin' it up like nobody's business,

Tess

MMA Monday : That One Time When Rob Said F***

2011-06-06T15:11:00.000-06:00

Cheeri-O! I don't know what kind of greeting that is.

I like speaking in a fake-British-meets-the-South kind of accent.

I also like using British "cuss" words...bloody hell, stuff like that.

I also love this boy who is British.

His name rhymes with Schmob Schmattinson. Perhaps you've heard of him.

Last night the MTV (aka More Twilight Victories) Movie Awards rocked my world.

Here are my Rob/KStew/Robsten/Twilight Highlights:

He kissed Taylor and said "don't worry I'll be gentle...I've kissed a guy before."

2011 MTV Movie Awards
Tags: Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner Make Out!!, MTV

He told KStew that he wanted to take her backstage. (If I had been wearing panties, that line would have made them combust...fortunately I was going commando.)

He was adorkable and sexy as hell delivering his lines while giving Reese her award. "You played my mother. Then you played my lover...and we f*cked." (<----MTVBleeperFAIL)

Then Reese corrected his joke..."By the way, Rob. You were supposed to say "I played your mother. Then I played your lover, which makes you the best motherf*cker in Hollywood." (<---That's Tess's version. I can't remember exactly how she worded it and I'm too lazy to Google it.)

#Team Twilight made a clean sweep...almost. Only losing the "Best Breakout Performance".

It was just a total win all night long. So much face time with Rob being on stage off and on all night.

THEN...THE MOMENT...the Breaking Dawn trailer presented by the Trifecta.

I have two words "BROKEN HEADBOARD".

Thank you Bill. You made my day...my year. The broken headboard is to Breaking Dawn what the leg hitch was to Eclipse. Essential.

To put the cherry on top, there were Robsten moments abounding at the after party and backstage.

I just couldn't have been a happier fangirl.

It was like Christmas and Rob was Santa (a hott hott ass Santa)...and we got everything on our wish list.

What did you think of the MMAs?

What was your favorite Rob/KStew/Robsten/Twilight moment?

Tell me how you feel about the BD trailer??

Let's fangirl together...c'mon it'll be fun. *squeeeeee*

♥Tess

Rob's Birthday Blog Train : Day 4 - Robmemories

2011-05-13T16:27:00.000-06:00

Today on Robmusement's Birthday Blog Train, we're supposed to talk about our favorite memories...show Rob something we loved that he did this year.

Well, as a Rob fan, I have to say that this was a great year...

He gave us a stellar performance in Eclipse.

Best Robward yet.

Filming of Breaking Dawn has offered hours of discussion and loads of anticipation for the next movie.

And THIS...

AND THIS...

Who knew one little pic could offer HOURS and HOURS of entertainment?

Thanks for taking the leap, Rob.

Water For Elephants is by far my favorite memory of the year...the filming, the press junkits, and the movie itself.

Nothing short of amazing...

Side note: Although I might have misbehaved in the theater while seeing it...but that doesn't mean I didn't LOVE it. It wasn't my fault. I blame it on The Captai...er Sailor. Wanna read about it? My IRL friend Impulsive sells me out on her blog...go HERE.

Rob's Birthday Blog Train : Day 3 - Gifts to Rob

2011-05-11T13:49:00.000-06:00

Oh, Rob Rob Rob (practicing for later)...what do you get a person who has everything they could possibly want?

Success? Check.

Fame? Check.

Hot ass girlfriend? Check.

Talent? Check check.

Good looks? Check check check.

Beanies? Check.

RayBans? Check.

A shirt that says "Get Off My Dick"? Check.

A trip around the world? Check.

An Elephant? Check.

I'm not powerful enough to give you the things you probably really want. Like making the pappz leave you alone...and I can't change the fact that your face is so well known.

If I could grant you a superpower, it would be the power to be invisible.

But if I got the chance to give you one thing. It would be something that combines my likes with your likes.

I would channel my best RKelly and in grand-karaoke-off-key-pitchy-style, I would sing Bump N Grind...for you, for your birthday. Then we could kick back at the bar, you could have a Heineken...I'd take a Captain and Coke. I would also use my kung-foo skillz on anyone who tried to interrupt your R&R. I'm not above cutting a bitch...especially when it comes to you.

It would be bliss.

Rob's Birthday Blog Train : Day 2

2011-05-10T18:50:00.000-06:00

Hello, bloggy loves!

Where the hellz have we been??

Holy geez.

It's been like 3 WEEKS since the last post.

I can explain.

I ~~tripped~~ ~~er slipped~~ ~~er did a header~~ jumped head first into the land of fan fic.

I know you all understand the pull of fan fic. It's like a magnet. It's my sun and I'm just revolving around it right now.

However, I'm breaking out of my fan fic stupor to celebrate Rob's Birthday, because it is something to be celebrated.

I'm linking up today with Jeanette from Robmusement and all the other Rob-lovin' bloggers on Rob's Birthday Blog Train. On today's agenda is writing a Birthday Letter to Rob. So, here goes...

Dearest Rob,

I love you. Sorry, was that too strong...too fast? Well, I just didn't want today to go by without me getting my feelings out. I tend to ramble.

So, your birthday is coming up and well, it's definitely something to be celebrated. I feel like I should send a HUGE thank you gift to Clare. She did the world an immense good deed the day she gave birth to you. Perhaps, we should ask the Pope if she could have sainthood status? That seems appropriate.

Back to you, I just want to say thanks for being you. I would never want to change one thing about you. I love all your quirky, awkward, and adorable ways. I love the way you stumble through interviews from time to time. It lets me know that you're just human. I sometimes forget that with your other-worldly good looks. I love the way you run your hands through your hair when you're nervous or annoyed or uncomfortable. Your fingers are amazing...and your hair is equally gratifying. I'll take you anyway I can get you. I love Beanie Rob, RayBan Rob, Scruffy Rob, Clean-Cut Rob, Short-hair Rob, Sex-Hair Rob (I REALLY love this version), Robowski, Robward...and now that I'm reading Fan Fic I have a whole new repertoire of Rob's to love...Fifty, Mafiaward, Beautiful Bastard. Do you know about Fan Fic? *achem*perhaps you should take a gander*or not*blushingoverhere*

No matter what role you're playing...or who you're pretending to be...it's you, Rob...it's always you.

So, on your birthday I just want to tell you to just keep being you. It's pure perfection.

Happy Birthday, Beautiful.

Sempre,
Tess♥

Water For Elephants NYC Premiere

2011-04-18T08:45:00.001-06:00

Just wanted to do a little recap of the past 48ish hour whirlwind aka Water For Elephants NYC Premiere.

Now, granted I wasn't there in person, but thanks to the likes of @Mama_Cougar, @Dangrdafne, @17foreverlisa, @LivingWEdward, @MrsKassieCullen, and @robzsinger1 I was able to live vicariously through their twitpics, tweets, and OMG Rob moments.

I was *squeeeeeeeing*. And hyperventilating. And experiencing increased blood pressure. And one small dizzy spell. And I was 1400 miles away.

I can't imagine what it would have been like to be breathing the same air as Rob. I've heard it can heal the sick and raise the dead...and bring on spontaneous orgasms...and combusts panties.

Fortunately, Mr. Tess has been gone all weekend (and all last week), so I was able to fangirl without restraints. It was awesome.

(which also means I've been able to read fan fic without restraints. totes awesome. i'm onto Wallbanger, in case you were wondering. i think I'll do a fan fic post soon...profess my undying love, and review the ones I've read so far.)

So, just in case you've been living under a rock this weekend...or you had real life stuff that kept you from seeing The Precious on the red carpet, I've compiled a little Red Carpet Review.

Here's some of my favorite pics from Twitter, most of them courtesy of the lovely ladies I previously mentioned, which by the way, you can click on their names and it'll take you to their Twitter page for more tweets and pics.

shoot me now.

Here's Popsugar.com live feed:

Rob looks so dapper in his blue suit...and sex hair. Those close ups. Gah. kill me.

Reese looks gorgeous as usual. She's so adorable.

This made my heart super happy:

#Robsten moment. *squeeeee*

Don't forget to set your DVRs and check TV listing for tons of Rob appearances this week!

It's gonna be a good one. Lots of Rob = happy Tess.

4 days until all of us common folk get to see WFE and Rob on the big screen! I've heard you need waterproof mascara. *sniff* All of us book readers know that it's gonna be a sad one...but amazing.

Who's going to a midnight viewing?
*raises hand*
Who's planning on fangirling like nobody's business and embarrassing all their friends who they coerced to come along so they wouldn't have to be a loser and watch it by themselves...probably even wearing a Rob Pattinson shirt...and something with an elephant on it??
*raises both hands*

Here's to a SPECTACULAR week!!

XOXO,
Tess

I Have A Confession...

2011-04-14T13:51:00.000-06:00

I am SO jealous of all of your lucky people going to the NYC WFE Premiere...I can't even stand it!

I mean don't get me wrong...I'm happy for you guys.

But I want to be there so bad.

I'm really hoping that you girls have a super great time...and that you get a glimpse of His Holy Hottness...and perhaps get to touch him...breathe the same air as him...

*sigh*

What? Where was I?

Oh, yes. I'm jealous. That's right.

Not going to the premiere feels like when I was in school and I didn't get picked for the kickball team...or that one year I didn't make cheerleader. I feel like I'm on the outside looking in. #nofair

In all seriousness, I hope you all have a splendid time...I need to live vicariously through your experiences, so Tweet often and plan on posting a detailed blog...with LOTS of pictures!

*I'm wishing Rob-sightings and OMG-moments for all of you*

XOXO,

Tess

P.S. Kelly from My DiscomROBulation won our WFE Giveaway! Congrats, Kelly!!

There Is Only ONE Rob

2011-04-11T06:00:00.000-06:00

Recent texting convo between Trixie and I:

Trixie: This is Ashely Greene's new boyfriend. Remind you of anyone?

Tess: LOL. Hmmmm...sex hair, ray bans, scruff...

Trixie: Hoodie. See we all are trying to find our own Rob.

Tess: Definitely. Silly girl. Doesn't she know there is only ONE Rob?

Trixie: Don't you think it would be MUCH worse to actually KNOW Rob and not be able to have him?

Tess: MUCH. I don't think I could stand it. It's better to love from afar.

Trixie: Very true. I think that was the undoing of Nikki Reed. To once have had him and then not. That's tragic.

Tess: So so tragic.

What are your thoughts? Is Ashley searching for her Rob?

TNT's Interpretation of Katy Perry's 'E.T.'

2011-04-07T00:04:00.000-06:00

Katy Perry - Kanye West - Free Music Videos - Top Songs

Does anybody else switch the words "extra terrestrial" with vampire?

Anybody?

Trixie and I have unique minds. Most things that people think are unrelated to Twilight we find a way to relate them. It's a gift...or a sickness. whatev.

When we listen to this song, our minds drift to Twilight and we're begging Edward to "infect us with his love and fill us with his poison"...tell me that you don't get vampire out of that?

"You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you"

She should have just made herself Bella and recreated the meadow scene.

We got your number, Katy. We know that E.T. is really code for vampire.

We saw the way you were looking at our boy last year at the Teen Choice Awards.

When you said...

"Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim"
We think you really had this in mind...

Don't worry...we won't blow your cover. Your vamp-lovin' secret is safe with us.

In the mean time, when we listen to the song, we'll be turning our thoughts toward this...

and this...

I just threw those last few in for grins...and other things. achem.

I mean, come on. A Rob pic spam is always appropriate.

Don't forget about the WFE Giveaway on yesterday's post!

Sempre,

Tess

TNT's 1st Blogiversary and a Water For Elephants Giveaway

2011-04-06T11:14:00.003-06:00

It's been one whole year since we made our first post. Seems crazy. Sometimes it seems like we've been here forever and other times we scratch our heads and ask "where did a whole flippin' year go?"

One thing we know for sure is that we've had an absolute blast getting to know each and every one of you! Twihards are the best people in the whole world. We've learned so much and had our eyes opened to so many different experiences, conversations, and amusements thanks to you guys.

When Trixie and I started TNT, we had just planned on having a blog where we could gush about all things Rob and Twilight without any judgment. We definitely found that...and so much more. We found friends...friends who are like us, who care about the same things we care about, and who love the Twidom as much as we do!

To show our appreciation, we're going to have a little giveaway. I know shock and awe, right? Because we never do giveaways. hehe. What can we say? We love you guys and we love giving you things.

So, for our 1 year blogiversary, we're going to do a WFE Giveaway!

Giveaway includes:

WFE poster
WFE book w/ movie cover
$20 Fandango Gift Card (so you can take a friend to see WFE)
and a few other goodies that we'll chose at our discretion.

Giveaway Guidelines:

You must live in the US. Sorry, but for this one we'll have to keep it local.
You must be a follower of TNT.
You must comment on this post.
For extra entries: Tweet about it, blog about it, or pimp us on Facebook...but be sure to come back here and let us know you did!
Additional extra entry: become a new follower on Twitter (@trixieandtess)

Sounds easy enough, right?! Giveaway ends at midnight on April 13th. We'll announce the winner on Friday, April 15th...that gives us a week to get your winnings to you before WFE hits the theaters!

Thanks for reading TNT and for being such great bloggy friends! We love you guys!

Why Grandmother, What Big Eyes you Have!! TNT Review of Red Riding Hood

2011-03-28T20:10:00.000-06:00

It is safe to assume that we all know we are beyond crazy fans. That means that we do stupid things like go see a movie that we really have no desire to see just because allegedly Rob and Kristen may have spent some of their coveted downtime seeing it. Plus, it was directed by Crazy Cathy Hardwicke who also directed our beloved Twilight. You know just to see if she somehow can evoke in another movie the same things we felt when we watched Twilight.

She didn't...

Yes, we have two VERY attractive leads. Hmmm, does the male lead remind you of anyone?

Visually moving scenes.

Steamy make-out scenes.

Two men vying for the affections of one woman.

And somehow....

It didn't even come close!!!!

It was just proof to me that nothing will ever come close to recreating this...

Overall, I liked this movie and found it entertaining. I didn't even figure out the ending. Have any of you seen this movie? What did you think?

We'd Like To Thank The Academy...

2011-03-24T16:47:00.000-06:00

We'd like to thank the Academy of All Things Rob and Twilight

*awkwardRobstenmoment*

and we'd also like to say a big THANK YOU to Lisa @ 17Forever, Jen @ Twired, Rathgasm 101 and Jayme @ Borderline Phenomenal for awarding us the One Lovely Blog Award.

*tear*

That is so sweet. We feel so honored that you think our blog is lovely. The feeling is mutual, my dears.

Award Rules

To accept this award one must follow the rules.

1. Thank the person that gave it to you and link it back to their blog.

2. Post 7 random facts about yourself.

3. Pass the award on to 15 other blogs.

So, here's 7 RANDOM facts about TNT.
1. Our names are not really "Trixie" and "Tess". I know, you had NO idea, right?!
2. Trixie INSISTS on remaining anonymous, but I (Tess) on the other am kinda over the anonymous thing. I have THREE blogs and I start getting major cases of MPD (multiple personality disorder). I just can't keep my name straight...so, if you've ever received a comment from "JennyKate", I'd just like to come clean and let you know THAT'S ME. JennyKate is Tess, Tess is JennyKate.
3. We started this blog anonymously so that we could gush about Rob and say ANYTHING we wanted without judgement or persecution...and so we could talk freely about wanting to have Rob's babies, and our desire for him to see us naked. It was nice for a while, but now it's kind of a pain in the butt. I love being Tess, but it's annoying to have to switch accounts to leave comments under the right name...so from here on out, you'll just know.
4. Trixie and I have NEVER met in person. Ever. But we desperately want to!
5. We met from our personal blogs. We connected over our love for Twilight and Rob. From there, we realized we had just about everything else under the sun in common. We're kindred spirits.
6. My personal blog is www.jennykate77.blogspot.com. If I'm ever absent from here, you can always find me there! Stop by and say "hi" sometime.
7. Um, we start a diet about every other week...but they all revolve around IRWTSMN.

Here's some of our favorite bloggers who we pass on this award to...
Living In France
Handbags and Handguns
17 Forever
Twired
Twilight Junkies
My discomROBulation
Robzsinger
Robmusement
Confessions from an Impulsive Addict
Borderline Phenomenal
Rathgasm 101
Dangrdafne
Living with Edward
The Inappropriate Crush

We feel like we've missed somebody. Please, don't feel like we don't love you, if you're not listed! If you haven't received this award and you read us and we read you...consider yourself ONE LOVELY BLOG!

We think you're all AWESOME.

Loves,
Tess

(Click to enlarge...TWSS)

Some friends and I have had this discussion on "The Facebook" before and I think we've come to a very logical and (Stephenie Meyer approved) "scientfic" explanation.

BUT I'm curious.

What do you guys think?

What is your rationale on this particular..and very important...Twi-topic?

I mean, obvs, something is flowing down there. He impregates Bella for the love of half-breeds.

I know my theory. It's simple Twi-logic.

What's yours?

Discuss.

Yours Truly,

Tess♥

P.S. Don't forget about the Coloring Contest (<------Click Here)!! You have all weekend to get him printed out and colored...anyway you choose, just be creative!!

A Twilight/Rob Pattinson Coloring Contest...and our 200th Post

2011-03-03T00:01:00.005-07:00

200 posts.

Seems pseudo-monumental to us and you know how we would like to celebrate??

A coloring contest.

More about that in a minute.

We've had this blog open for a while now and we thought you might like to know a little bit more about Trixie and I, so we're opening up the comments to any questions you'd like to ask us...nothing is really "off-limits". We'll compile our answers in a post next week when we announce the winner to the coloring contest.

Back to the coloring contest.

So, over the weekend an email was passed around our little Twitard community by the lovely Marie from Twilight Junkies Anonymous and attached was a link to a Robert Pattinson coloring sheet.

Scruff and all.

We thought it would be fun to host a little friendly competition.

So, break out the Crayolas. Download the coloring sheet and get to coloring. Then send us a picture of your coloring sheet. You can either post a picture on your blog and tell us the link, send us a picture via e-mail, or post it to Twitter. You can either scan it in or take a picture with your phone...however you can get it to us will be great! We will then compile all of the pictures into a post and open up a poll for voting. If you have a blog, we would love to link your picture to your blog. Whoever gets the most votes, will win the contest! Sound easy enough?? Any questions?? Email us if you need to.

Here's the link to the coloring sheet - click here

Recap of the rules:
1. Download coloring sheet and print it out.
2. Take a picture or scan in your piece of art.
3. Post it to your blog or send us the picture in an email.
4. Come back and vote on your favorite.
5. Also, feel free to ask us a question in the comments.

The winner will get The Robert Pattinson Album! It is FULL of pictures of His Hottness. It's in full color and it's a must-have for any RPattz fan/Twihard. (BONUS: If Trixie and I can get our hands on a copy of the new Vanity Fair, we'll include a copy of that as well!)

The contest/giveaway will end next Tuesday at Twilight. I just wanted to say that. Anything submitted by Tuesday night (March 8th) at midnight will be included in the contest. We'll have the pictures posted and a poll up by Thursday, March 10th. (Voting will be open all weekend) Then we'll post a blog post with our answers to your questions and the winner of the coloring contest on Monday, March 14th!

P.S. I've never in all my life been more turned on by an Amish Alligator Wrestler. OK, I've never been turned on by and Amish Alligator Wrestler...but I am now...

GlassesUSA.com...all the cool kids are doing it

2011-03-02T09:39:00.002-07:00

GlassesUSA.com recently contacted us and asked us to do a blog post about their site. We thought it over for a bit. I have never done a paid blog post before, but since I wear glasses and have a lot of experience picking out frames, I decided that it would be a legit post for me.

GlassesUSA.com offers a HUGE selection of frames. I immediately went to their site to check out what they offered and found several frames I would love to own. They offer designer eyeglasses at discounted prices. They have several really cute cheap glasses (right up my alley…I’m feeling a new set of frames coming on). They also offer rimless glasses frames, men’s, women’s…you name it, and they’ve got it!

I think one of my favorite parts about their site is the Virtual Mirror. I had the best time with it! You can just download a picture or use your webcam and try on as many frames as you want without ever leaving your house!

I don’t know about you, but that is one of my favorite parts of internet shopping…no pushy sales people, no crowds…just peace and quiet…and the ability to shop in your pajamas before you’ve even brushed your teeth. It’s bliss.

Someone else had a great time trying on eyeglass frames too.

They even have prescription sunglasses…

a lot like the ones some of our favorite Twi-stars wear.

So, if you need a new pair of glasses, check out GlassesUSA.com!

You really can get a great pair of eyeglasses without breaking the bank!

For our readers:
You can save 10% on your next order of glasses with the code: Mommy10

Specials:

Did Twilight Kill Your Romance?

2011-03-01T10:23:00.000-07:00

On my commute to work one morning last week, the snarky radio guys were discussing none other that my fav topic...Twilight. However, they were not discussing who's hotter or which book is best. They were discussing the topic of whether or not Twilight has a negative effect in the bedroom.
A guy has written a book about how romance novels (like Twilight) are bad for real relationships.

I have looked high and low on the Internet to find the author and book title, but I can't find it! If you know what I'm talking about, please let us know in the comments. I'll add the name and author and a link/reference.

What are your feelings on this topic?

Do you think Twilight and other romance novels have an adverse effect on what goes on in the bedroom?

Do you think reading books like Twilight gives us unrealistic hopes of what our romances should be like?

Trixie and I know how we feel about the topic, but we want to hear from you!

There is a poll at the bottom where you can vote...or leave your opinions/input in the comments...or both.

We'll revisit this topic soon and discuss every one's opinions.

The Adventures of Pocket Edward Compilation Post

2011-02-25T00:01:00.002-07:00

We have had SO MUCH fun going through all of the pictures you girls have sent us of your adventures with Pocket Edward! Thank you for taking the time to put them in an email to us! We tried to link up to everyone at the end of the post. Let us know, if we missed someone! We'll be more than happy to fix it.

Without further ado, The Adventures of Pocket Edward...

Once upon a time there was a boy named Pocket Edward. He was perpetually 17. He had a (unbeating) heart of gold.

He caught small children as they fell from stair wells.

We all know what an epidemic this is.

So, his contributions to society were immense.

He also thinned out the ever growing wolf population.

This was a huge help to all people of the Teamedward Tribe.

In his spare time, he loved to drink Rainier Beer. It was one of his few human-like indulgences.

Really, the only other thing he loved as much as his Vitamin R was a girl named Pocket Bella.

Pocket Bella was always getting herself into life-threatening situations and Pocket Edward was always coming to her rescue. He's so chivalrous.

This one day, Pocket Bella was hanging out with Pocket Jacob. Pocket Edward told her that Pocket Jacob was no good for her and that she should stay away from him.

Of course, Pocket Bella didn't listen. She never does. Stupid girl.

Pocket Edward felt like he was always spinning his wheels when it came to Pocket Bella...same story, different day.

She was in trouble. He came to rescue her. That's how it always went.

Fortunately, this particular day, Pocket Jacob backed down peacefully.

As they were driving back to town, Pocket Edward told Pocket Bella that he was taking her away, so that she wouldn't get into any more trouble...for a while at least.

So, they went to Disney World.

To be continued...

If you have more Pocket Edward/Pocket Bella/Pocket Jacob pictures that you would like to send us, PLEASE do! Email them to us and we'll do another compilation post.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Dangrdafne (Minnie Mouse pic), TwitardedMom (Vitamin R, falling baby, driving, wolf attack), and Rottymama (forest pics)!! You're all awesome. Thanks for entrusting us with your PE pics!

XOXO,

Word on the street or "the Twitter" (as my Granny calls it) is that Rob is going to grace the pages of another issue of Vanity Fair. *squeeeee*

Anyfangirl, are you as excited as we are about this?? *raise your hand*

In case you need a reminder, Vanity Fair is what brought us these...

just to name a few.

God Bless, Vanity Fair.

I also read recently (on UPI.com)that Reese had good things to say about The Precious...and I quote...

Witherspoon is engaged but says her leading man, Robert Pattinson, is definitely a catch. (duh!)
Witherspoon said recently her romantic co-star on "Water for Elephants" was not only good looking but had a great personality as well. (Where the hellz have you been? We've known this for a looooooong time. Get with it, Reese.)

"He is just so good looking and he's a really nice person," said Witherspoon. (Um, yeah. About that. We love ya, Reese, but keep your pretty little digits off of him, mkay pumpkin?)

People magazine said Saturday Witherspoon and Pattinson worked together once before. He played her son in "Vanity Fair," although his scenes were edited out. (He played her son? Really? She's no where near old enough to be his mother. That's weird.)

Witherspoon is engaged to talent agent Jim Toth, but Pattinson is also unavailable as he maintains what People called a low-key relationship with "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart. (awe, we *heart* Robsten. Long live Robsten)

What the hellz happened to KStew's wrist??

(source: EOnline.com)

According to E!Online, she hurt it while (possibly) shooting in Baton Rouge. This pic was taken last week when she was at LAX. Summit isn't spilling anything for fear that the least little bit of info would send Twitardia into a spin cycle over WHAT exactly was being filmed in BR. WHAT? We've never done anything like that. We're so rational and level headed when it comes to Twi-business. Come on, Summit. Give us a little cred. *snicker*

So, whadya think? We wanna know.

Money For Nothing

2011-02-22T10:07:00.000-07:00

...and THIS chick is for free! (<----Dire Straits song. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't tell me.)

He owns me.

I want my MTV!

(pictures courtesy of robertpattinson.org)

Rob and the crew have arrived back in Vancouver for more filming of BD. According to People, RPattz and KStew flew there on the same private jet, but took separate cars to the hotel. What's that all about? Maybe just less press when they're separate. In my mind, they took separate cars so they could avoid all the papz and then they rendezvoused back at THEIR room. It's Robsten 24/7 up in here.

What do you guys think? Together? Separate? Shackin' up? Putting up a front for the Papz?

Also, what are our chances of having a Robsten moment this Sunday at the Oscars?

Gather.com rumors that KStew is "too busy" for the Oscars. Boo. I'm sure she would look stunning. She very seldom disappoints at big events. The same article did state that Rob is more than likely going to be there and possibly might present.

My hopes are high. I have my DVR set.

You just can't be too careful when The Precious has a possible TV spot.

XOXO,
Tess

IRWTSMN - Healthy Eating

2011-02-18T00:01:00.000-07:00

Helloooooo, Happy Friday.

Since, we all agreed that we need to recommit to IRWTSMN, I was thinking that it would be good for us to share some ways that we are recommitting...and what better way to start that off than by sharing some healthy recipes...or just healthy eating.

(Was that like the longest run-on sentence ever? I'm not fixing it. You'll just have to deal.)

You don't have to share a recipe. I know some of you aren't "cookers". I was thinking you could share your favorite low-cal recipe, meal ideas, tips on eating out, healthy snack options...anything pertaining to healthy eating.

I'll go first...

One of my favorite healthy things to eat when I'm watching my calories and such, is a yummy delicious Shrimp and Spinach Salad.

I just take some frozen shrimp (a cup or so) and put them in a skillet with a tablespoon of EVOO (that's Rachel Ray lingo for extra virgin olive oil) and a tablespoon of minced garlic. I saute all of that together and just pour it over my large bed of fresh spinach...and voila...dinner is served. The EVOO and hot shrimp wilts the spinach a little. It's really really yummy and low-cal, low-fat, and low-carb!

Don't forget...

Just to be on the safe side...

Are you ready??

Write a post about Healthy Eating. Use our IRWTSMN button

in your blog post. Then, come back here and link up your post in the linky below!

XOXO,

It's Time (WARNING: another Team Jacob / Taylor Lautner post)

2011-02-17T00:01:00.001-07:00

It's time.

We've been asked to do another post on TLaut...aka Jacob Black, Taycob, WolfBoy to many, and Sharkboy to some.

What our readers want, our readers get.

Trixie can't bring herself to discuss Taylor in this manor, so I'm taking one for the team and putting together, yet another, Team Taylor/Jacob post.

I think we can drop the boy now though. He's a man. He's 19. He had a birthday last week. "Happy belated Birthday, Taylor!" No one is going to jail. Although, I know we have some readers to have a strong adversity to him. So, I'm giving people who are offended by his presence enough warning to turn away now.

It's about to get hot up in here.

A steamy 108 degrees to be exact.

I think what might help you Rob/Edward fans out there (if you're still with us) is to try not to focus on this...

and just try to see Taylor outside of the realms of Twilight.

Then, perhaps you might find a little corner of your heart for him??? (I'm trying here people.)

I always have to throw this one in. I think it is one of the BEST pictures of him. Ever. Those photographers know what they're doing...notice the belt coming undone...yep, you know where your mind goes after that.

Other than filming Breaking Dawn and being all up in Bella's business, what is Mr. Lautner up to these days?

Last time we did a post on him (which has had over 3,100 hits so far...our 2nd highest viewed post of all time) he was filming the movie Abduction, where he stars as the lead role, Nathan.

He's so Tom-Cruise-Mission-Impossible here...minus the crazy-jumping-on-Oprah's-couch-thing.

It is in post-production right now and due to be out in theaters sometime this year.

He is also in pre-production on a movie called Incarceron, where he stars with Emma Watson. It's scheduled to be out in 2013. So, Taylor isn't going anywhere.

From the sounds of things, he has plenty of new projects lined up when Twilight is over.

Can I get a long, drawn-out (sad sad sad) moment of silence?

I really don't like to think about the Twilight movies coming to an end. It makes me uber sad....and depressed...like drinking before noon depressed...DEPRESSED.

OK, let's think happy thoughts...

Much better.

Give Me A Minute

2011-02-16T00:01:00.000-07:00

We're still working on the Adventures of Pocket Edward compilation post. There were more pics than we thought, so we're going to need a few more days to get them all saved over, posted, and linked up!

While you're waiting, drool over these...

Make room, ladies. Jaw porn just walked in...

Hello, Crotch Shot.

Be sure to wipe the keyboard off when you're done.
XOXO,

Pocket Edward Giveaway Winner(S)!

Congratulations, ladies!!!

Please e-mail us with your address! We'll have your very own PE (to have and to hold from this day forward) in the mail to you ASAP!

Stop back by tomorrow! We'll have our Adventures of Pocket Edward(s) compilation post! If you have a favorite picture of your adventures with PE that you haven't sent to us yet, do it now! A BIG thanks to everyone who has emailed us their pics...they are FANfreakinTASTIC!

XOXO,

Snowventures with Pocket Edward and A GIVEAWAY!

2011-02-09T03:19:00.000-07:00

I've been experiencing SNOPOCOLYPSE, SNOMAGGEDEN...SNOKLAHOMA, whatever you want to call it. I must say, for an Okie who loves snow and doesn't usually get THIS kind of snow, I'm enjoying it! I'm not even inserting any *sarcasm* here. My life is generally CRAZY busy and I usually have something going at all times, so being snowed in with no where to go and no where to be has been quite nice.

Anyone else been in the SNOPOCOLYPSE...Blizzard 2011??

Although I've been enjoying it, by Day 5 I was getting a little stir crazy. So, to beat the cabin fever, PE and I headed outside for a little SNOW fun.

Here's a few pics from our adventures:

We made some snow angels.

Then we decided to make a snowman.

Since he's immune to cold temps, we could have played for hours.
He even let me play Bury the Pocket Edward. It was great fun.

Being that I'm a mere human, we had to eventually come in so I could warm up.

I mentioned a space heater, but he gave me the dirtiest look, so I settled for some coffee.

Does seeing all of these PE posts make you GREEN with envy?

Do you wish you had your very own PE to have rendezvouses and adventures with?

Are you hoping for a little PE in your life?

Well, today could possibly be your day!

We're giving away a Pocket Edward...possibly 2, depending on the amount of participation!

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling us what you would do with your new PE! It's that simple. You can also tweet this on Twitter for extra entries (be sure to @ us - @TrixieandTess). If you blog about the giveaway, be sure to come back here and let us know, same goes for Facebook posts. It's easier to keep up with your entries through the comments.

One more favor, not related to the giveaway...we would love to put together a compilation post of every one's favorite PE pictures. If you have some pics of your favorite moment with PE, send them to us in an email! (trixieandtess(at)yahoo(dot)com)

TNT Confession Booth Wrap-Up and NEW Robert Pattinson Pics

2011-02-08T00:01:00.001-07:00

Oh NO she di'nt...

She said what?...

Then I was like...

She said...

And I was like "Shut the front door"...

The she was like "seriously"?...

And I was like "OH YES she did".

Welcome to our

Confession Booth Wrap Up!

I don't know about you,

but Trix and I love some juicy gossip.

Especially when it has to do with

a certain boy who's name

rhymes with Shmob Shmatterson...

and his girlfriend.

Today's gossip, however, comes

straight from the blog!

Here's a recap from the Confession Booth...

Someone, and of course we can't name any names, has spent hours and hours looking at clips of RPattz online.

Haven't we all?

That same person also confessed that they haven't watched any of the Saga since last year. *gasp* Well, that was only 2 months ago.

I think we can forgive this transgression, but please rectify this ASAP.

Seems as though several of us have fallen off of every wagon we were on...blogging wagon, IRWTSMN wagon...the wagon of life.

I think this is just the time of year when people get into the Winter Blahs. It's a legit condition.

You can Google it.

One way we know how to beat this terrible condition is Rob Photo Therapy. This is a legit treatment. It's proven to bring people out of deep dark depressions, kick start diets, cure slumps, and raise people from the dead.

If you've been experiencing any of the above, please stay close to your monitor. Place a towel or some other barrier over your keyboard to prevent damage from drool (it's a known side effect). Keep your mouse at hand for licking, clicking, and saving.
*warning: panties may spontaneously combust*

*die*

Good news girls, Water For Elephants will be here in 2 months...65 days to be exact. We're almost there! Doesn't Rob look absolutely delicious in these screen caps?!

You might have missed yesterday IRWTSMN post, if so click HERE.

Tomorrow we're going to have a Pocket Edward post and a Giveaway! Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

XOXO,

IRWTSMN - Recommitting

2011-02-07T06:00:00.001-07:00

Hello, we're Trixie and Tess and we fell off the IRWTSMN wagon.

HOWEVER, we are trying with everything that we've got to get our (larger than we would like) asses back on the wagon...if it's the last thing we do.

How are you all doing? Have you stayed on? Fell off? Jumped off? Jumped off and tried to get the wagon to run you over after you did?

We really want to know how you've all been doing.

We're recommitting to IRWTSMN. How about you?

P.S. Remember that the TNT Confession Booth (click HERE) is open until midnight tonight, so you still have time to make your confessions!

TNT Confession Booth - Slump Edition

2011-02-03T20:44:00.000-07:00

From time to time, Trixie and I have opened up a post that we like the title TNT Confession Booth.

We've been in a slump and we're trying to get back on track. So, we thought what better way to jump back in than with a Confession Booth post. We can clear the air and move forward.

What is the Confession Booth, you ask? Basically, its where you can leave your deepest darkest secrets and no one will be the wiser.

Here's how it works:

Leave an anonymous comment to this post and get whatever you need to off your chest. Trix and I have turned off all statcounter and feedjit accounts and we have no idea who you are.

Have you lost all track of Rob and now you feel guilty? Confess it here.

Did you spend $2,000 on Twi-Crap (or non-Twi-Crap) and your husband doesn't know? Confess it here.

Have you totally blown your IRWTSMN Diet? Confess. Spill it.

Are you some sort of sick pervert pedophile? DON'T CONFESS IT HERE.

TURN YOURSELF IN.

You get the idea. This is a way to relieve some tension and have some fun. We will leave the confession booth open all weekend and next Tuesday we'll do a wrap-up, where we'll highlight some of our favorite confessions...anonymously, of course.

Try it. It's very cleansing...and cheaper than therapy.

Meet Steph Meyer

2011-01-27T07:00:00.000-07:00

10 lucky Twifans will get an advanced copy of The Official Illustrated Guide AND get to sit down and chat with THE Stephenie Meyer!

For details on entering, go to The Twilight Saga.

The Official Illustrated Guide will be available on April 12, 2011, but you can pre-order now at Amazon.

Would you like to win a chance to meet Steph Meyer in person?! What would you say? What would you wear?! Oh, the decisions.

What IF Rob were to see you naked? Oh, wait. Wha? Come back tomorrow to discuss IRWTSMN!

Breaking Dawn Trailer on MTV Movie Awards?

2011-01-26T12:09:00.000-07:00

Ask yourself this one very important question...

Can you wait until June 5th?

That's when the 2011 MTV Movie awards will air. It is rumored that they will (again) have the exclusive on the Breaking Dawn 1 trailer.

I'm being totally honest with you guys here. I'm not sure I can wait. I'm having major Twilight/Rob/Edward withdrawls. I'm liable to something crazy. I'm not sure what, but something...get another Twilight tattoo or fly across the country to breath the same air as Twi stars...go on a ridiculous shopping spree for more Twi merch...or eat a whole carton of those adorable Eclipse cupcakes I saw at Hell-Mart last night. Something.

Trixie and I were just talking today and we've agreed that life has lost purpose. Edward is like our (midnight)sun and he's left us due to an Eclipse...Twilight seems so far away and a New Moon is no where around. The only things that can save us is a Breaking Dawn.

This is like a life line...like we're drowning in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (that's a big damn ocean) and Robward threw us a life preserver.

What do you guys think? Will BD1 trailer air at MTV Movie Awards? Will Summit srsly make us wait THAT long? Do they hate us or what?

How are you coping these days? Does it feel like we're never going to get to see The Precious on the big screen ever again?...does 11.18.11 seem like a million years away?

Dish with us. Tell us how you feel. It makes us feel more normal.

Kristen Wants To Pay It Forward

2011-01-20T07:00:00.000-07:00

Have you seen this drop-dead-gorgeous cover of Vogue with Kristen on it?

She is absolutely stunning. I'll definitely be adding that to my collection.

Inside the February issue of Vogue, Kristen discusses the fame and fortune that Twilight has brought her. She talks about the inconveniences of no longer being able to just go to the mall and blend in...she feels like she'll always be "the Twilight girl".

When asked what she plans to do with her recent bump in salary, she said that she would like to open some half-way houses for people who are struggling to get back on their feet. She said after delving into her role as a stripper in Welcome To The Rileys, she saw the need for something like that.

I think that is very admirable. One thing that is for sure, is that Kristen takes her roles seriously and personally...they become a part of her. I think it's great that she wants to give back.

If you were getting the bank roll that some of the Twi-stars are getting right now, what would you do with it?

WFE Reshoots

2011-01-19T09:45:00.000-07:00

Did you notice that Rob was sporting some auburn hair at the Golden Globes?

Apparently, Robowski showed up. I love Robowski. It's been a while.

*pardon me while I fangirl and swoon for a moment*

I'm counting down the days until Water For Elephants! Come on, April 22nd!

According to blogs and rumors, the WFE cast was called back for some reshoots. I read a few different times that there is a "surprise ending"...sounds exciting. I'm fine with anything "surprise", as long as they don't screw with the story line. I hate when books are translated to film and they jack everything up by changing the ending.

Any guesses on the "surprise ending"?

Are you as excited as we are to see Rob on the big screen again?!

We have yet to discuss...

2011-01-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

We have all seen it, studied it for hours, the infamous first look at Edward and Bella's honeymoon (at least the parts we want to see)...

Thanks to Twifans for the pic.

and discuss.....

We want to hear your thoughts. Is it everything you dreamed, everything you hoped for? Has anyone stopped staring long enought to actually read the article? What does it say? Does it make you more or less excited for Breaking Dawn?

Golden Globes are tonight!!!

2011-01-16T09:57:00.000-07:00

The Golden Globes are tonight and I can hardly wait! I have always loved awards shows. I love watching to see what everyone is wearing. Speaking of which, did you catch Rob and Kristen on the People's Choice Awards a couple of weeks ago? Let me refresh your memory...

Kristen looks stunning. Her dress is gorgeous, make-up flawless, and I think she has been working out because those legs look a lot more toned. Rob, although we always think he is gorgeous, looks like he is getting...comfortable. You know when you get comfortable in a relationship and don't have to try as hard anymore. Remember this guy? The guy who was still trying to catch the elusive Kristen?

He was dead sexy. I hope Rob looks more like the second picture than the first tonight. Although, those two still look adorable together and I just realized that they match, how cute!

So how about you, which Rob do you want to see tonight?

Xoxo,

Trix

Did You Miss Us?

2011-01-12T14:23:00.000-07:00

I know you're probably wondering WTH happened to those TNT girls.

OK, you're probably not and it's just totally conceited of us to think that you are. We know you have lots better things to do than to worry your pretty little heads about our whearabouts, but we're totally thankful to those of you who have Tweeted, PM'd, or Emailed your concerns! It's nice to be missed.

I know I speak for Trixie too, when I say that We've really missed you guys! We've missed the blog and pouring over our Rob/Twilight blogs everyday. We hate being outta the loop!

When I'm not here, I feel like a piece of me is missing. I know that sounds a bit kooky, but let's face it...I'm a bit kooky.

I wish I had some great Rob news to tell you, or a fabulous new Robsten pic to post...some Twi gossip, or set news...BREAKING Breaking Dawn news...or whether or not Ashley stole that Jonas boys' virginity.

But I've got nothing.

Actually, I was kind of hoping that you all could catch me up to speed.

Do you have any Twi related news/gossip that we need to hear about?

To tidy up some blogging business from 2010, our winner of the Twilight in Forks DVD, copy of Bree Tanner, and the New Moon wall thingys is...

CherylSab! Congrats!!

Email us your address and we'll get your Twistuff out to you ASAP!

Later this week, Trixie is going to discuss Rob's fashion choices from the People's Choice Awards. Is he getting too comfortable in his relationship with Kristen?

Also, we'll discuss what we're anticipating for the Golden Globes and Oscars.

*crossing our fingers* for a whole lotta Robsten!

It's good to be back!

~Tess

Just Checking In and A Giveaway

2010-12-29T15:38:00.000-07:00

Just checking in. We're still here.

Did you guys hear that Rob is going to get a body double? The article I read said that he has been consistently stalked by four Japanese girls and that they are constantly "telling him they want to do ruse, saucy things to him..."

Hmmmm? I wonder who he'll get for his body double? I can't imagine anybody else being THAT hott. I'm pretty sure God only allows one Rob Pattinson at a time.

How was every one's Christmas? Hope you all had wonderful times with your family and loved ones. Ours were great! Not long enough though. Trixie and I were both wishing for more time...Christmas just went by too fast!

I did get loaded up on Twi-gear.

My husband asked me if I am 16.

I told him "no, 17".

Then he asked, "how long have you been 17?"

I said, "a while".

Gotta love a Twilight Christmas.

Kelly sent us this FAB pic. Thanks, Kelly, for always keeping us stocked with awesome Rob/IRWTSMN pics! You rock.

How has your IRWTSMN diet going over the holidays?

I don't know about you, but I'm actually ready to get back into the swing of things. I love the holidays. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. But after all of the festivities are over, it feels good to get things back to normal and get back to a routine. I'm hoping I haven't done too much damage in the last couple of weeks, but I haven't stepped on a scale in over a month.

I'll take the plunge next week.

I am cleaning out my Twi-closet. So, we're going to be giving away an assortment of Twilight related goods. I have several "extras" of things. From time to time, I've been known to go a bit overboard while buying Twi-memorabilia. I know. Your shocked.

The Goods:

- a Twilight in Forks DVD

- a copy of The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

- 2 New Moon wall hangy things. I don't know what they're called.

- and whatever else I find to throw in.

To Enter:

- be a follower

- comment on this post

- extra entries - tweet and @ us so we'll know, post on your blog and come back and tell us about it

We'll announce the winner next Wednesday (January 5th), so you can enter up until then!

Trixie and I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2011!

Giveaway Winner and OMG Moments

2010-12-20T09:01:00.000-07:00

I know you're probably thinking that we forgot how to log into Blogger...or perhaps we ran away with Rob and didn't tell you guys. Truth is that we are just SWAMPED with real life. Anybody else?

Christmas is in full force around here, and you girls know what that means...parties, gift buying, get-togethers, meals to cook, things to bake, places to go, people to see, being driven to drinking...sadly...and when I say "sadly", I mean UBER sadness here, that means that blogging gets pushed to the back burner.

Hopefully, everything will be back to normal in a couple of weeks. We'll be back to blogging about Rob, having his babies, wondering what if Rob were to see us naked, and our regular Twihard agenda.

Meanwhile...

We have some blogging business to catch up on! The winner of our YA Book Giveaway is...

*drum roll, please*

Tara from that's why her hair is so big...she's fabulous, but evil.

Congrats, Tara! Contact us with your address and we'll hopefully have these to you buy Christmas!

OMG Moment #1 - Recently there has been a Twihard Twitter Movement. kiTT from Tongue Twied recently started her very own revolution by getting everyone to tweet a shirtless picture of Kellan

with the hashtag #takeitoffkellan. It was even noticed by online gossip magazine, Access Hollywood, and mentioned in this article! How flippin' cool is that?!

First shirtless Kellan, then world peace.
OMG Moment #2 - The trailer for Water For Elephants!

*SWOON* I'm in love. How many more days? *checking the sidebar* 115. I feela WFE party coming on!

A big thanks to Robmusement for our lovely Christmas card. :)

all Christmas cards should include a Rob.

Hope you all have a wonderful week leading up to Christmas! We'll be back later this week for another giveaway...we've gotta do something to keep you guys from leaving us.

YA Book Giveaway

2010-12-10T13:28:00.000-07:00

I've got a serious case of the blahs today. I've been sick all week. It peaked yesterday with lots of disgusting symptoms that I won't discuss. I love winter, but I hate the sickies it brings with it.

I don't really have much to say today, so I thought I would do a giveaway.

When all else fails, give some crap away, right?

We actually have some stuff to giveaway once a week from now until Christmas. Just think of it as Trixie and Tess's way of saying MERRY CHRISTMAS.

First up, this week we're giving away a few YA books.

Since we all love the Twilight Saga, who's to say we wouldn't love another YA book?

The books are Evermore by Alyson Noel, 13 To Life by Shannon Delany, and Glimmerglass by Jenna Black.

I haven't actually read any of these, but I've heard good things about them. The winner gets all three. You must be a follower of TNT and you must comment on this post. For extra entries, post about the giveaway on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog and come back here and let us know (or @ us on Twitter). This giveaway is open until next Thursday at 11:59pm. We'll have another giveaway start next Friday!

Good luck!

Happy Friday!

♥Tess

Are You in Love Again?

2010-12-08T21:53:00.000-07:00

I'm sure by now you have all watched your Eclipse DVD about 20 times. Guess what? I haven't watched mine once. That's right. I've been in a Twi-Slump. I can't seem to get excited. What's happened to me? This has got to be the worst kind of depression. When you can't even get excited to see His Hotness. What's the cure to this ailment? Please tell me it's watching Eclipse again.

I got a call from a good friend yesterday. She can't eat, can't sleep, has butterfiles all over again because she is totally in love with Edward. Le sigh. I remember those days. Please someone help me. Tell me how to get over this slump.

How did Eclipse affect you? Is is the dose of Twi I need to get over this hideous disease? Please tell me yes.

Have you ever been in a Twi-Slump?

How did you cure it?

Xoxo,

Trix

Pocket Edward Post in Pictures

2010-12-03T06:00:00.023-07:00

These are the adventures of Pocket Edward from the Dallas Twilight Convention. Some photographs have been left out to protect the innocent...or guilty...whichever.

Edward, though he does not need food nor drink, has a great sense of smell. He can smell a fine wine from a mile away. He approved this glass...and many more after that.

He was often found hanging out in a pocket. Hence the name, Pocket Edward.

Something I found out over the weekend is that Pocket Edward and Rob have a lot in common. Such as their taste in beer.

Here he was demonstrating his mad skillz in tipping over trees.

We also took a little time out to reenact Bella's birthday, sans paper cut.

He can really cut a rug.

He met a fellow fun-size Edward.

Together they confronted the wolf in the room.

It was a fun time had by all.

He gave a little 'tude when I said it was time to go.

I had to pull him off the walls...

We spent the rest of the evening lying in the meadow...er...the lobby.

I'm surprised hotel security wasn't called.

I think they're a little lax when the Twihards are in town.

Dear Rob

2010-12-02T07:00:00.000-07:00

Dearest Rob,

*Please cue music, then scroll*

We know you're going to be extra busy this year what with filming Breaking Dawn and having beach sex with KStew, so we wanted to get our wish list in early...

All we want for Christmas is you. Just so you know...in advance. So, we'll be expecting you standing on our front porch wrapped up nicely in a big red bow (red is our favorite color).

Besides Rob and world peace, what are you wanting for Christmas this year?

#SUMMITFAIL - Eclipse DVD Release

2010-12-01T15:30:00.002-07:00

Today on Twitter, we've been discussing the HUGE fail that is Summit. Where is all of the Eclipse DVD hype?! WTH, Summit?

For the past two years, I have attended at least one DVD release party...sometimes TWO. Usually, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Hot Topic, Wal-Mart, and Hastings always have a DVD release party for the newest Twilight movie. This year, the only DVD release parties I can find are at Wal-Mart and a few at Hastings. I normally despise Wal-Mart, but I'm totally loving them right now, because if it weren't for them there would be no where to go get an Eclipse DVD at midnight. If you're looking for a DVD release party, you can go to http://www.eclipsethemovie.com/ and they have a place where you can plug in your zip code and they'll show you all the local stores that are hosting them.

I think we have to blame Summit for this. They should be doing better marketing for the movie. I realize they're all busy with the filming of Breaking Dawn, but what about us? What about the fans that keep this franchise going? We want a little excitement for the freaking Eclipse DVD release! I was hoping for some star appearances like they did last year for New Moon. I mean surely EVERYONE isn't busy. I guess they've just spoiled us with all the hoopla in the past.

Here are my plans...go to Wal-Mart and get my copy at 12:01 and enjoy a little festivities, because it just wouldn't seem right without it, and then buy the Deluxe Edition at Target the next day.

I've been buying the Borders Deluxe Edition and I've read that Target is now carrying that particular version.

So, where are you buying your Eclipse DVD? What version are you buying?

I know some of you are having DVD parties...I want to hear all about it! I need to live vicariously through you. I think I'll just have my own little party by myself. I have a whole box of stuff left over from the premiere party...it's an Eclipse party just waiting to happen!

IRWTSMN - Check Up

2010-11-23T10:02:00.000-07:00

Hello, Lovelies!

How was your weekend? Ours were busy, as usual. The next week or so will probably be hit-or-miss for us. With the holidays coming around, our blogging will be sporadic, but we will try to check in and post as often as we can. For those of you who won a giveaway in the past few weeks, your goods should be delivered (except for rpfangirl - going in the mail today!). Please let us know that you got your stuff. I sent everything via Fed-Ex, so I can track any shipment.

How is everybody doing with the IRWTSMN diet? I know holidays are the hardest. For me, the downward spiral starts about Halloween and it finally ends around New Year's night. That's when I make my NEW resolution that I "won't be this fat this time next year...blah, blah, blah." Well, I'm going to try to not do too much damage this year. It's just that much more that I'll have to take off and this is too much work to add any unwanted pounds.

Here's are my tips for the holidays:

*Fill your plate with healthy options and just take a small portion of the more fattening dishes.
*Wear tighter fitting clothes, so that you won't feel like you can stuff yourself...leave that for the turkey.
*Spend more time visiting with family than eating food.
*And always, always remember...what IF ROB WERE TO SEE ME NAKED??
*AND NEVER leave home without these..

Now how is that for some motivation to get your through the holidays?!

A HUGE thanks to Kelly from My discomROBulation. Thank you so much, Kelly!

How are you holding up through the holidays?

Happy Birthday, TT

Twilight Convention In Pictures

2010-11-17T15:12:00.000-07:00

Hello, Lovelies. Sorry we've been MIA this week.

Real life is such crazy sometimes.

Trixie is have THE.WORST.TIME.EVER with her Internet connection, making it nearly impossible for her to post on the blog or comment on blogs...basically anything to do with the Internet. So, say a small prayer for Trix and her Internet. I have been trying to recuperate from the Twilight Convention. I think I got a total of 6 hours of sleep the whole time I was gone. Plus, I had to drive 5 hours home...alone. It was exhausting, but oh-so-worth it! This week I started righting on another blog. So, now I have TNT, my personal blog, and a once-a-week post on a group blog. What have I gotten myself into?!

I'm going to try to get caught up over here by showing you all the pictures from the Twilight Convention.

Beware of photo overload.

The convention started on Saturday morning.

Can I just say that partying at Pete's until 3 am is not the best way to start off an all day convention, but thanks to large amounts of Starbucks I made it until 3 am the following morning! Thank you, Starbucks!

First up was the wonderful and funny Christopher Heyerdahl. He plays Marcus in New Moon and Breaking Dawn.

He is also well known for other roles in movies and television series, like Supernatural.

His bald head is due to a role he is playing right now. He is just one of the nicest guys you will EVER meet! After seeing him twice now, I'm a huge fan.

For each star, they hold about a 40 minute question and answer session. You are allowed to submit as many questions as you would like. Sometimes they are able to ask them all of the submitted questions and then the stars will mingle through the audience and allow people to ask questions from the floor.

Hillywood facilitates the Q&A session. They're awesome!

Above is a pic of Hillywood's Edward and Bella, Jacob Jost and Hilly Hindi.

Below is a pic of Hillywood's Jasper, Drew Lorentz. He's fantastic.

I really loved this shot that I got of Jacob "Edward" and Hilly "Bella".

After Christopher,

we got to see Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon.

They are so much fun. Bronson is full of energy.

He is a Canadian and I love to hear him talk. Different accents and dialects amuse me.

He is such a cutie and he said during the Q&A that when someone asks him what his favorite animal is, he answers "cougar"...and sometimes "pumas". LOL. LOVE HIM! He's 23, so he's totally legal.

Kiowa is more reserved and quiet,

but still just as funny and cracks these "undercover" jokes...

like you have to really be paying attention to get it, but he's funny.

FINALLY, it was time for PeterfreakinFacinelli!!

They were actually doing one of their auctions, where they auction off things from the convention...banners, pictures, other autographed pictures from previous conventions, etc.

Peter stuck his head in the door and yelled out "I bid $500" and the guy auctioning off the stuff yelled out "we just added a date with Peter Facinelli!" LOL. The whole audience erupted in hoots and hollars. It was great.

Here's a few of my favorite Peter pics from the weekend.

Most of the good pictures I got of Peter were from the dinner that night.

We had an Asian dinner buffet and Peter was the guest of honor. He spent about 5-10 minutes at each table just chit chatting. It was really nice to just have normal conversation with him. I asked him about his schedule and when he'll be in Baton Rouge (w/ the Precious)...around December 4th in case you're wondering. He said that they are filming a lot of the indoor shots from the Cullen house there.

Jennie and the kids are doing great. I asked.

Later that night, we had the Volturi Ball.

Kiowa, Bronson, and Christopher came to mingle.

It was a lot of fun seeing them out and about.

They were having drinks and enjoying themselves.

We tried not to go all fangirl on them,

but I did snap this pic when Kiowa was looking at me.

We shut that party down.

I think my cousin and I were two of the last to leave.

It was fun! Pocket Edward had a great time too.

He gave a little attitude when it was time to go.

I took him to the meadow...er...the lobby so he could collect his thoughts and cool down a bit.

Tons more PE pics where those came from! I'll share soon!

Jodelle was our last star of the conference.

She was so sweet and at times she was SO 16! I just love her.

I think it would be great if the Short Life of Bree Tanner was turned into it's own movie!

During the conference we also had autograph signings and photo ops,

but we weren't allowed to have our cameras or phones in line.

I have so many pictures that I'm still shuffling through.

So, I may post some more soon.

I'll definitely put more of Pocket Edward's adventures up.

Hope you girls are having a great week!♥

-Tess

Winner!!

2010-11-12T07:23:00.000-07:00

...and the winner of the Peter Facinelli autograph is...

Living with Edward!! YAY! Congratulations!!

My little boy was the official name drawer, so that it would be completely fair. He was so happy that he drew out a name he could read! LOL. He was like, "I know this one...L-W-E...what does that spell?...who's name is that?" I told him it stands for Living With Edward and he said, in his innocent 6 year old voice, "she LIVES with Edward??" LOL. He was pretty impressed. Edward is beyond celebrity status in our house, as he should be in every house.

He was so into the name drawing, so he drew two more names. Lucky for you girls, this momma is a sucker!

Congratulations to 17ForeverLisa and Married2MyJacob!!

I'm not sure what you girls will win, but I'm sure it'll be great! Don't you just love surprises?!

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway. I wish I could give each of you an autograph or something. If by chance Peter is giving away free autographs, everyone gets one! ;)

Have a fanfreakintastic weekend!
