About 6 months ago, I wrote an article for the blog titled "Vampires Are Totally The New Black".
Go ahead, I'll wait a minute while you read it and catch up...
...Okay, so vampires are still pretty much the trendiest thing going (except for Snuggies and Lady Gaga). Let's see what's happened in the vampire world since we last spoke in July:
• The Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW, starring Ian Somerhalder from Lost and The Rules of Attraction.
• The Vampire's Assistant hit movies back in October. There was a two second window when I was slightly interested in this movie, and that's only because I saw Salma Hayek in the movie poster.
• The Swedish film Let The Right One In, about a boy who befriends a 12 year old vampire girl, is getting an American remake. It's due in 2010.
• I finished watching True Blood season one only last week and I am now completely obsessed, following my initial hesitation. Just yesterday I received the Tru Blood can koozies I purchased off ebay.com. I have also started cornering people in the break room to talk about True Blood.
• New Moon, the sequel to Twilight, opens today in theaters nationwide.
• During a recent work outing, I snapped a photo of Alternative's own Casey Brown posing for a kiss with a cardboard cut-out of Robert Pattinson.
So that's how we stand with vampires right now. Oh, and don't forget about Ashley Green (who plays Alice Cullen in the Twilight series) photographed on the cover of Maxim in our heather burnout tank.
Check back in about six months and we'll see if vampires are still on top. In the meantime, if you're a True Blood fan, please feel free to leave a comment on this post and tell me what you love about it. I'll probably respond within 5 minutes seconds. Like I said: OBSESSED.
omg True Blood! i'm totally gonna use my being sick today to catch up online ha ha ha

I KNOW I've heard so many good things about Season 2 and I'm dying to see it! I can't believe it's not on DVD yet, I'm going bonkers.

The season two finale of True Blood did something to me, down there (graphic). Yes, it was that good. "Let the Right One In" was a Lovely Book, I enjoyed it loads. I don't fancy the Twilight Vampires though (bunch of glittering vamps = not appealing). btw I bought a Bill shirt from eBay for 15 bucks and free shipping, I suggest you jump on that wagon. Haha!
