Sometimes I Wish...

Sometimes I wish that I had the life of my alter ego... (she seems to have all the fun!)

She looks so happy and lucky in love. He's kind of cute, too.

Of course, if I couldn't have that, I'd settle for a random superhero power-- hands that heal, anyone? Or maybe they just emit a strange light? Okay, well that would be weird.

I know… Maybe I could just turn into a vampire? What do we think?

XOXO,

Of Vampires and Twilight

I am so excited for the midnight release of Twilight, the film version of the popular vampire novels by Stephanie Meyer, on DVD.

My discovery of these books have been very timely as I became engrossed in them last week, obsessively reading through all four books in about a week's time span, and now, without delay, the movie is being released-- just in time for me to drool over Edward Cullen and the other vampires.

A few years ago, I worked a lot with a photographer who shot romance novel covers. She'd book me to be the heroine and we'd work for about a half hour recreating the image for the cover of those books-- the best part is that I often got to work with a hunk. After the photo shoot, an artist would render a cover based on my picture. I probably only did about ten covers in total, but those were probably some of the most fun shoots I've ever done.

One of the book covers I did happened to be a vampire novel-- Be Still My Vampire Heart by Kerrelyn Sparks. It's a fun cover, and the really cool part is getting to see how I would look as a vampire. Pretty awesome, right?

Did you read Twilight? What did you think?
