I keep seeing this Twilight thing all over the place. What is it? Teens? Vampires? I don’t get it. Maybe I am just too old. But as your Pop Culture Expert it is my duty to tap into what the young folks are into. And let me tell you, it’s definitely Twilight. It is a young adult vampire / romance novel series written by Stephanie Meyer about a 17-year old girl named Bella Swan who falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. Today I did a search on eBay and found well over 1,000 Twilight-related items, and that was just in the Fiction Books category. There is more stuff to be had in the Movie Memorabilia category too like posters, buttons, and bracelets. The film adaptation starring Kristin Stewart and new tween heartthrob, Robert Pattinson, is set to be released on November 21st. Below is a video for a new track by Paramore (my teen guilty pleasure) that will be featured on the soundtrack for the film. Expect throngs of girls and goth-inspired black-clad teens at a theatre new you.
