Well, every woman in America may be in love with one man; but according to Wikipedia, he's 108 years old. Yikes. Loved the comparision to drug dealers, btw.
The 'bad guy'-attachement might be the feminine version of the Madonna/Whore-complex - it stems from a rebellion against a bourgeoise moral which sees sexuality as dirty and sinful; bad guys therefore promise freedom and excitement. Yet as the rebellion is only one in and for appearance, women simply need to reveal the inner, romantic prince charming of every bad guy --- so that they may become a happy Disney princess!

I've already photoshoped my face next to Edward's. I feel so nerdy.

"I FORGOT I WAS BROUGHT UP STRAIGHT EDGE." that little interview is my favorite, oh so excellent :D
-
Hilarious!
Ugh I read the first and second books, definitely not going to read the rest. Edward cannot compare to Lestat and Louis. If you want to read about REAL vampires, read Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles.

Twilight! A book series targeted to teens but has readers of every age excited about the series because of its obscure subject. Stephanie Meyer had a dream and it turned into a book series and then what she hoped for, a movie.
The books are luring with love that grows throughout each book but has an action charm that brings the reader in to be excited about the work and the characters. I read the books and became just as excited as a screaming teenager on opening day or at a signing. With each book leading to a new plot it stimulates the reader to be excited about reading and about the series. I am very excited for the movies to continue just as any reader could be about Harry Potter. -
The Anne Rice mention reminds me of this comic I found the other day about (what else?) vampires that ended up being much funnier than I expected: http://projectkooky.com/dylan/biteme/ I hope linking random stuff is kosher here and not spam or anything...

Funny, but Sarah should have mentioned how controlling and harmful the relationship between Edward and Bella is. It's really not a good example of a positive relationship for young people.

Hahahaahahaha

i loved your piece sarah ;)

Oh gosh, Twilight. The books are a horrible guilty pleasure of mine. Team Jacob, ladies.
And there's no way the fourth book will be made into a movie. Just sayin'.
-
That was great, as is all Sarah's work.

Why are American teenage girls so stupid? Oh yeah, because they are all spoiled brats! I thought the low was the Titanic, but no, we can go lower....

Not only did you make fun of everyone's lust for Edward Cullen, you also threw in the Chuck Bass reference. You are my absolute hero, Sarah Haskins.

this is hilarious! I love your work and appreciate your interviewing technique. The vampire genre is on its way back up: read Ruffian Tedd "The Winter's Child" by Sean Lorigan. It's a no foo-foo read that will leave you wanting more of the hottie Callum McGinnis!!-

Dear Sarah,
Please do not make fun of Twilight. Or else bad things will happen, as illustrated here: http://xkcd.com/591

Funny as hell, FANGS a lot! ---(ouch)--- that bites.
