Unlike the hordes of haters out there I embrace my love for the truly trashy Twilight franchise (also being embraced: my love for alliteration). I read all of the books (albeit with a bit of cynical eye rolling), I blogged about them once, and I very much look forward to sneaking booze into the New Moon movie (because the first movie should have received some sort of special comedy recognition at the Oscars). But none of this means that I do not see the inherent humor in the craziness of the Twilight industry.
Inspired by Regretsy and Amy, who dared me to look up Twilight on Etsy, I bring you the best (aka worst) of the 706 (!!) pages of Twilight themed goodies up for sale at the internet's favorite craft fair.
Timberlake is such a fucking copy cat.
Deodorant? OF COURSE ("my vampire boyfriend gets me all hot and then I sweat and then I stink... or I *would* if it weren't for my awesome Twilight deodorant."). And it's vegan (DOUBLE of course!) cause I may be ok with drinking human blood but I also love animals so much that I consider eating honey blasphemous.
There are a lot of artists (?) on Etsy using the business model "Twilight quote + crap I made = PROFIT." Part of me thinks this is brilliant and that I need to start creating my own brand of Stephanie Meyer potholders or toilet paper or golf tees but I'd like to think that not every teenage girl is will to wear a necklace proclaiming their stupidity. I mean wouldn't this shit get you beat up?
This "artist" didn't bother to do anything other than scribble on a Kmart bag with a Sharpie -- She's probably already swimming in greenbacks.
I'm pretty sure it is not safe for 14 year old girls to wear anything this woman sells.
From the description:
This cute little puff ball comes to you from trees right in your backyard. Some loose there balance and fall out seeking human life... The one you are looking at is named Edward. He's a vegetarian vampire, can't you tell by his amber eyes.
Obviously.
Not technically Twilight themed just awesome.
7. Twilight Brings the Creepy Again (no surprise here)
Um. Ew. The tongue and just... gah. No need for that watermark, I'm pretty sure the only people who want to steal this are sex offenders looking for style tips.
8. Twilight Brings the.... Yarn?
From the description:
This batt is hand-dyed merino wool, luscious white bamboo, some hand-dyed nylon, and angelina for sparkle! It is the softest batt I have ever carded. The colorway represents Jasper Hale, the former Confederate general in the Twilight series.
Seriously?
9. Twilight Brings the Half Assed Attempts at Art
Step 1: Rip page out of book
Step 2: Paste to block of wood
Step 3: Sequins+masking tape
Step 4: Collect $2
10. Twilight Brings the Holiday Cheer
Lastly, I am happy to report that Christmas shopping for G is TOTALLY DONE.
If only I could decide which gift he'd like best....

what happened to #10??? and I'm so glad the puffy made it in. That half hour we spent IM-ing crazy links was totally worth it.
"I'm pretty sure the only people who want to steal this are sex offenders looking for style tips."
Man, I think Imma read the books just because there is so much mocking potential. My joke pool would double!
HAHAHAHA...
Please liveblog the new movie when you see it?
You should win an award for "Best Etsy Twilight Compilation". The snug (???!?) is my favourite. Obviously. Also, why a Scrabble tile? I don't get it.
