Raiding Bella's Closet

Well, it has happened! Twilight has invaded the teen fashion world with flannels, henleys, thermal shirts and hiking boots, it's literally like raiding Bella's closet.

I was shopping at Tilly's with my daughter yesterday and everywhere I turned it was racks and racks of grunge like attire, I thought for sure that Chris Cornell or Eddie Vedder was going to tap me on the shoulder and tell me it was actually 1992. I mean I like the grunge look, but, the looks is just too sloppy for someone my age (just my opinion).

I actually met my husband in the fall of 1992 and I was completely submerged in the look, complete with thermals (worn with cutoffs--ghast!) and purple Chuck Taylors. I remember my mid-west, MIL-to-be freaking out after I arrived in Cleveland with my "underwear" on the outside of my clothes (this has gone down in family history).

And, now fashion repeats it's self with Bella Swan at the helm as the reluctant, grunge fashionista.

I adore her style in the movie, you know that Kristen said in an interview that she dresses like a hobo most of the time. I imagined Bella exactly the way she is in the movie, I think Kristen is wonderful and this movie is starting so many trends. So cute HOBO Kristen and Rob staring in a movie together.

Here is a link where you can see a pic of Rob's underwear, yes underwear no boxers, could be boxer briefs but someone made a little zoom on this twilight pic and the jeans are tight so no boxers could fit snugly under those.

Okay, I am such a perv, I looked before I posted this comment. Now, the mystery of Edward's black boxer briefs in the fan fic is revealed (no pun intended). Ay, carumba! Black underwear is too much to bear!

With all the new pics of his famous black jeans, I am wondering if that boy can wear underwear at all with that (ahem!) bulging zipper. Tsk, tsk, pervy, pervy---I know!

I totally agree that Kristen fits right in with Bella's fashion. The girl is a beauty and her fashion sense sometimes makes me laugh. She had that kick ass, Gucci outfit and shoes for the MTV movie awards and then she wore that funky shapeless dress to the VMAs. Thank goodness, it showed off her killer gams!

Feeling cheeky!

Dani said...

Her legs are to die for. She is teeny but still has a really lovely figure. That dress was perfect at the music awards just perfect. And I adore her bf michael angarano he is so cute. Sky High is super funny. He's in a new movie about Southie Boston hoodlums or something coming out soon.

Perv or not who can't notice how wonderfully those jeans fit Rob? Honestly. He probably jacked those too and his criminal ass is fantastic. The zipper automatically makes me look at his no-no. I am going to get filthy here and say his no-no is probably great looking. As far as the bits go, I mean its not the best looking part of a man. But ya know? I bet he has deliciously hairy legs too. His arms kill me. They are covered in hair. Hot mama. I'm getting a little sweaty over here.

Lynn said...

LOL! No-no--love it! Proper crassness at it's best! I never ever thought that I would be the kind of girl to no-no (I cannot keep a straight face while typing this!) gaze, but, all bets were off after my gal pals and I went to the Olympic Gardens in Vegas. It was outrageously fun!

I would imagine that Rob's no-no and bits are pretty magnificent, but, the black jeans will due my fantasies just fine for now.

I actually was surfing the net one day and came across nekkid pics of Wil Wheaton (from Stand By Me) and Pete Wentz. Both looked like pics done on dares and both guys were sporting pretty impressive, pitched tents. But, it certainly changes a girl's view of a guy.

Seriously, we go from grunge fashion to Rob's no-no in four comments!

PERVY!

Lynn said...

I meant do and not due.

I just noticed sporting and pitched tents---no-no pun intended.

God help me!

I may just need that link to the wedding night fan fic!

Dani said...

Link away, it is hard, pun intended not to look. And I read so much damn fanfic I think I am going to go blind. Hairy palms anyone? Seriously just kidding about that last part. So laughing hard as I write this. Oh God help me I am going to need to run by a church later, im not catholic but I need a priest to throw some cold holy water on me right now!

Lynn said...

I rename you, Rosie Palmer!

Sinner!

Love it;0)

Tess said...

OK. I had to go check out the photo of his underwear. Nice. I'm going to say he's wearing boxer/briefs.. so nice.

I've been wondering if he's a leftie or a rightie. Still undetermined. As for his parts being nice... Oh Yeah, I bet they are. Tall, thin, lanky men are usually well proportioned (think Michael Phelps) AND one more thing to point out... European men (speaking from experience here, unless your Jewish or Muslim) are not circumcised... so ladies, get ready to picture that.

I went way south with that one..

Lynn said...

LOL! Tess---I am hurting here! Yes, I can attest to tall, lanky guys being proportioned (dh would be so proud---whoops, I'm blurting).

Now, I have to pick up two teen age girls as I think of Michael Phelps, Rob's no-no and turtlenecks.

Good God, you guys keep me on my toes!

Jewels64 said...

I can never ever ever forget Fireman Dan. A tall, long, lanky drink of water (who oddly enough looked like the kid who was the lead in the movie "Christine".)

We went back to his apartment, threw on George Michael's album "Faith", the song "I want your Sex" came on, and I thought it was going to be death by impalement.

He was definately a fireman with a ....you guessed it...a hose!

I still can't pick up a coke can till this day without thinking of my first. OMIGOD...hurt so much!

Rob, underwear, men's treasure trails, and all the deliciousness that just makes a woman crazy.

Ya'll stop now. I may just have to go throw on Goblet of Fire and get nasty....

Jewels64 said...

Speaking of yummy/nasty...has anyone seen the fully naked pix of Dan Radcliffe from Equus?

Not circumcised...but Harry does have a nice wand.

An ex of mine was that way and I never had any complaints....

Lynn said...

Jules---the blush factor has riseth--LOL. I saw Daniel on the horse, but, the full monty was not acknowledged (I was thinking "this is Harry Potter"). But, now that I have seen December Boys, I will be looking for the Equus prints.

Tess said...

Impaled! I can commiserate. Before I met my husband, I was dating a (uhhumm) much younger guy, who was 6"4...OUCH!! did not enjoy that at all. But the static between us was electrifying, set places on fire. Still think about him.

BUT - have any of you ever had that with someone? Someone you could have all the pre-lims with for hours, but when it came down to the actual deed, it was just OH WELL. To this day, I just think he was too big.

Lynn said...

Tess---I dated a guy way back in the day and it was that kind of scenario. He was gorgeus (think of Matt Damon with Ben Affleck's hair) and dumb as a doornail (I was 18 and a total hormone). But, to put it plainly, the guy was a bad lay--he fell asleep after one go and I was left hanging!

He ended up cheating on me with one of my friends and we broke it off immediately. Later, my friend and I finally talked about him and his lack of libido and we both concured that he was a horrible lay.

Stepping out of the lockeroom and blushing....

Jewels64 said...

Oh girls, you can find the full monty prints of Dan and they are delish!

I am so a cougar...

But the 20 something's like me too! What kind of a vibe am I giving out? Maybe because I'm completely blunt with them when I tell them what I want. Must be some kind a fantasy to them...

It's good for me too.... :-)

Jewels64 said...

Did i just come off sounding like Samantha Jones?

Awww hell...she stole some of her best lines from me!

Laughing all the way to the bathroom to practice my kegels!

Dani said...

SEX ON THE BRAIN! Seriously Tess not circumcised? Hmmmmm Well Art The Russian was not circumcised and that certainly didn't hurt things, well maybe hurt a few things but in a life affirmingly positive way that things should always hurt so good. Im thinking about Rob's no-no again. Ahhh help me Lord, you guys and your stories are so funny. Fireman Dan.

I once almost had an encounter with a Fireman. Fireman Matt we will say and lets just say in the heat of passion he decided to try and bang on my backdoor. To which he was met with a NOOOOOOOO! From me and then said some crude things that practically made my clothes appear on my body instantly. Although coming out of Rob's mouth I might have just let things go there. Well maybe not.

I cannot look at a fireman in the eye now. I try, there is a firehouse right down the street from my house but I clench my butt cheeks together everytime I walk by it is involuntary it just happens.

Tess said...

Dani!! ha ha ha hah "SNORT" ha ha

What IS IT with men and their fascination with the BACK DOOR? Geez!

Are they all secretly longing for prison life?

I once had a tense conversation about this with a guy I was dating. He wanted to, I knew from exp. that I wasn't into it.. after going back and forth for at least half an hour, the conversation came to an abrupt end with me shouting...

"Ok! You first! Let me run around back, grab the broom handle, so I can shove it up your ass and see if YOU like It"

that was the end of that.

Dani said...

oh dammit I'm going to pee my pants Tess! Holy Hell!

I told the fireman no. In words and in the appalled look on my face because he had attempted with his digits first only to hear me scream Noooooooo! And I was climbing up the headboard. Then he says almost like this is normal " What you don't like it when I put it in your butt?" the question needed no answer I was running out of the house without my shoes on. Scary. They do long for the sweet carress of a masculine touch only a man can provide.

Jewels64 said...

Tess, Dani...I just had a coughing fit so hard I felt like Camille...

The only song I hear going through my head right now is "Back Door Man" by the Doors.

Men and their attempts to hide some of their homoerotic tendencies. At least women/friends aren't afraid to kiss each other in a bar to get some jerk to go away. Yeah... but that one back fired on me too. The guy asked if he could watch....

babbles said...

OMG - What did I miss, You nasty girls!!!
I am LMAO over here...

Dani said...

Oh Lord! I say that a lot but I just saw Dan's man bits from that play. I was just too curious. His little Harry Pottter is proud let's say.

You think Rob will do me the pleasure of giving him a physical prior to the next film? Cough, then you can kiss me Mr. Pattinson all part of the medical exam. Off with your shirt Mr. Pattinson. We are very thorough here in the states.

Lawsuit? Maybe worth it. Hmmmm. I'm thinking about the bits this evening. Cannot help myself.

Tess said...

Dani-You could be onto something here. All movie sets have medical staff on hand. Maybe you could find away to get assigned. Hmmm..

start shortening your uniform missy.

babbles said...

Dani, Your little Rob medical exam got my mind tickin - Oh now you've dont it!!! - I have mentioned my fear of a meeting in public with Rob, However A meeting in Private would surely have a different outcome, The older a woman gets and the more life under her belt the surer of her sexual abilities she becomes and I am Very Very Very sure of what I would like to do to that Man...
The thought's running through my head right now provoked me to check around the room for my husband like I am actually guilty of committing the very explicit vision I am concocting... Oh delight!!! Love how the Imagination can take you anywhere...

Dani said...

Tess that is one fine idea. The sexy nurse costume is about to be sold out this haloween. The TWIMILFs are on the set and on the scene. No babies on the set! We will leave the child abandonment to the TWIWHORES. But I don't think its wrong to be a troop of hot nurses. I woulndt mind keeping either Jackson or Rob healthy with a little touch of my healing hands. Okay getting filthy again. Proper crassness in effect.

Besides doesn't Rob not like the kids ? I heard at the AFF the director made a comment that a few fans down in front heard that Rob doesn't like children they make him uncomfortable. when that 10 yr old was up there. I die! To see him holding a baby would be so funny. If he doesn't like kids no Robalikes will be made. The gene pool ends in his man berries. I'm a creeper cause that makes me a little sad.

Tess said...

All 22 year old men say that (hell! I was still saying it 10 years later)

Time will tell right.


OH.. PS: STILL waiting for anyone of you slackers to email me Brooke's questions at my other address.

babbles said...

Ok Tess, check your e-mail now - I think I got everyone's into it.
Do you want all e-mail's sent to the Mac address?

Tess said...

yes please..

babbles said...

You know something weird that I noticed, Michelle from RPL has not made a post since the KOL thread went bad... I think she probably turned that blog over and is working on another site now... I know off topic but I just noticed it...

Lynn said...

Gurlz---Lovin' all the banter!

Rob is the quinessential youngest child and the only boy---there he has had the spotlight on him all his life. My third child is the same way---she wouldn't rather eat glass then be dethroned. And, she is constantly telling how she will never have children (she's only 6). Perhaps, it's a third child thing to not want children.

Hell, the poor guy's only 22, I would think that it's normal for children to make him feel at least a little bit uncomfortable. But, Rob must procreate later in life, it would be a waste not to!

Dani said...

Waste for sure, the poor thing, it makes me uncomfortable thinking about him not having kids. He is too beautiful not to procreate. Seriously! But hey it is true he is 22 and maybe someday he gets a really nice girl and she "forgets" to take her birth control. BADA BING Baby comes out nine months later. Stranger things have happened. Lets just hope it happens because he wants it to....someday. I will volunteer to do some practicing with him. No big deal, totally platonic just for medical purposes.

Lynn said...

Perhaps, Rob'll be like Brad Pitt and become a baby daddy to some adopted children and then make some lovely anklebiters of his own. And, yes, practice does make perfect--so, let's all line up accordingly.

Tess said...

Brooke - Thinking about your RPL comment. Hmm. In her email to me, she says she has a few other people helping her with the blog. They've spent so much time building it up.. why would she abandon it? I know she had something else going b4 she started this one. Maybe she maintains both ?

Tess said...

just a quick link I just HAD to forward on.. I was laughing so hard. clever girl. I asked her where the bilingual version was.

http://tracygee.livejournal.com/1139.html

you will die laughing..

babbles said...

Tess - that link was funny...

I am going to open myself up for scrutiny here, I dont understand LiveJournal... I am the queen of E-mail and IM, But I just dont get how to use LiveJournal...

I know Michelle does work on a few other site's I just thought it was weird she had done a post in so long.

Lynn said...

Tess--loved the application bit! Yes, there should versions in Portugeuse, German, Italian, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. The boy loves his brunettes and Asian persuasions--that should cover all the bases.

babbles said...

LMAO - Ok so a co-worker just walked down that hall and called out "superstar" to someone...
I am dying in here because all I can think of is that damn movie w/Molly Shannon called Superstar, The scene where she has her hands jammed into her pits and she says: "sometimes when I get nervous I put my hands in my pits and then I *proceeds to sniff with all her might at her fingers* I am so not getting anything done today, My mind is elsewhere - Or as my Mother-In-Law phrases it "the train has left the station -choo choo"

just though I would share!

Lynn said...

Brooke---your whackiness is so up my alley! I had the hell morning with dd (dear daughter) and I was so thrown in to a full mommy tizzy that I actually formulated yet another blog about it on my Palm. But, then I went back to work and was greeted by another yummy infatuation, the P.E. teacher, who is lanky (a la Rob), tanned and looks like a younger Josh Lucas.

Ay, Carumba! I am such a hormone!

Dani said...

Word up to my ladies, I am home from work with a sick baby and I want to shoot myself in the toe for a little freakin sympathy!

How is everyone today? I have started reading Twilight again in preparation for the movie, and I heard a song on the radio today that fits New Moon like a glove. It is Broken, by Lifehouse. Seriously makes me wanna cry, that song is a heartbreaker. Ahhhhhhh baby is waking up. Seriously anyone have a bb gun or something, I could use it. Not for the baby of course! For me, or my husband...or the dog. I wanna hurt someone....im going insane over here.

Lynn said...

(((Dani)) Well, sick babies are never and especially when they can't tell what exactly is going on. I hope that the baby Tylenol kicks and he can sleep it off.

I can empathize, my youngest is fit to be tied and in serious need of a nap. I am waiting for the right moment to knock her over the head, but, I'm positive that she'll pass out on her own.

I also had an extraordinarily long morning with older dd, who managed to crown herself as Queen Passive-Agressive, ruler of entitlement.

I think I need a drink! No, seriously I am going to start Twilight again as soon as I get through the rest of The Time Traveler's Wife. There's just never enough time.

Lynn said...

Sick babies are never fun---sorry!

babbles said...

Oh my Lord you wanna hear about sick kids, My genious Husband took my 1 1/2 yr old son to a Mexican Restraunt for lunch and gave him fruit punch to drink, Kota puked Red Chunky Cheese all over my Beige Microfiber Couch's... GRRRRRRR....
My Son is also a blanky baby and a thumb sucker so since the contents of his stomach where all over his blanket (wich has chearleader pom poms on it!!! - Dont ask) he is going postal on me because he cant seem to breath without that damn blanket...

Dani said...

Oh sweet lovin of goodness I have changed like 5 poos today. This kid is a lifesucker! Seriously. This is trying, infancy was nothing except for the lack of sleep. Dammit why did I not cherrish those moments more? He is snotty, poopy, coughing and throwing things and biting.

Oh I totally pulled that move with my parents and it really pissed them off Queen of Entitlement. Love it, and hate it too. My mom still riffs me for those moments.

Dani said...

Brooke baby! Oh Hell you poor thing. Hay puked up crystal light the other night again thanks dad! Hayden is a thumb sucker too. In his sleep it never leaves his mouth. Hang in there babe.

Lynn said...

(((BROOKE))) Egads, Batman! I hate to say it but better you then me. Since, my anklebiters left babyhood, my tolerance for upchuck is minimal and I have caught myself gagging the last time stomach flu reared it's ugly head in our household (a long while ago). I hope that Kota feels better soon!

babbles said...

Kota!! I thought this was about ME!
Kidding, he is fine, nothing left to puke even if he wanted to -lol-

Lynn said...

KOTA!!! Tell your mom that I am sending her this really cool, cyberhug---K?

(((HUGS)))
Miss Lynn

Be thankful for an empty stomach!

Dani said...

Brooke man the puking has just begun over here. And he insists on playing with the dog. He's a happy guy for being sick but the biting has got to stop. 12 teeth now like razors!

What is the deal? I mean hello he was just sick. Why are we being punished? Goodness. I read your email and it had me in tears. You are one tough cookie. Truely what a story. You ladies are just touching my heart.

babbles said...

Dani - Wooo Wooo Love the new Pic, Owe!!!!

Jewels64 said...

Hey Ya'll...must be goin around. Josh just got over mad pukin virus and went back to school today.

Now he tells me in lurid detail that his poop was bright green today! TMI!!!

YEAH...now I just have to wait for EJ to get it. I go to work at 5 in the morning, and these little buggers have me up at 1:30 or 2, I crawl into bed with them, sleep another hour if lucky and then have to get up to go to work!

Then today I get home and I get given pictures they've drawn of me, hugs and get told how much they miss me. THAT reminds me why I had children to begin with. Wouldn't trade it for the world!

Dani said...

Jules so funny! I got a parasite once when I was eight. Oh I was obsessed with my poo. My mom had this medical dictionary and I looked up this intestinal parasite and oh Lordy it had pictures! Creeped me out and my mother kept telling me to lay off the checking my poo but everytime for a year I made her go in there and look. They gave me nightmares. Yes ladies I once upon a time had worms. Why the heck am I so honest.

Dani said...

Thanks for the love about my pic. Let's ya see more of my face. Glad you like. I usually get so goofy in front of the camera.

babbles said...

You have to die for skin - I dont know if we can be friends, I have jelious tendencies that are beyond my control and Pretty girls with good skin are the enemy...

Dani said...

Oh Im just having a good week, right before that awful lady who visits me once a month came I looked like a 13yr old boy hitting puberty. Besides I use that mineral makeup makes all the difference in the world. And its organic, not that I am all about that, I do recycle but I thought I would throw that in anyways.

Lynn said...

Dani---I read an article about pinworms when my oldest was a baby and I was obsessed with the idea that she would get them. So, one day I noticed weird jelly, worm like things close to where she was sitting and I freaked! I realized that she had a hole on the back of her diaper and had pick some of those moisture fibers. Needless to say, I calmed down after that.

Tess said...

The time difference between us really bites (I'm 15 hours ahead of you's) I miss out on adding my 2cents

Your baby yaking/pooping stories take me way back. So glad we're over all that. Now I have a few years of breathing room before teenage angst moves in.

thought about having another child (would love a little girl) until we spent 4 days on a remote island with another couple who had a 18mo old! NO NO NO NO.. never again. Child was hell on wheels. I felt so bad for the parents (good friends)

Griffin was born SGA, an immature nervous system, GER, (list goes on) Life was hell for the 1st 10 months, because he had colic 24/7 (not exaggerating) We didn't even know what color his eyes were for the 1st 7 months because they were squeezed shut all the time crying. My husband and I were twitching and swore never to have another.

Thankfully, now he's the calmest, sweetest boy you'd ever hope to meet. He cried a lifetimes worth the first year of his life.

Dani - I visited the boards last night to just read. who's threads do you comment on? need back-up? we could tag team ;) ha ha

Lynn said...

Jules---

Aww, your boys sound so sweet! I hope that the flu bug passes by you. I am fortunate my parents had every childhood disease known to man, so, I (and my sister) am relatively health and almost never get (knock on wood!). Plus, I am a germaphobe, because, I work around carrier monkeys (aka children) all day and I wash and sanitize my hands ritually.

Lynn said...

I will gladly tag team blog any time---bring it on!

Lynn said...

Tess---

My niece (dh's sister's kid) was my first experience with colic and I was in my first trimester. Let me just say, that was really hard to deal with and that was only for a few days. I can only imagine it for months on end.

15 hours ahead, cool! I've dying to ask what brought you to Singapore? My dh went to Singapore back in the 90's, he liked it there (in fact, I think that he had a gf there for a while--LOL). He's been to Hong Kong, Thailand, the Phillippines, the Seychelles, Saudi Arabia, and UAE--basically, anywhere the Navy takes you.

Dani said...

Tess- love to tag team I have only really commented on Rob's board but I'm thinking about branching out. I think my Robsession has got me loyal to looking over there cause those crazy TwiWhores always know what's going down and its incredibly fun to piss off the youngins.

How old is your son Tess? I'm pretty confident that we are going to have another boy whenever we decide to try again. I knew Hayden was a boy instantly. Just knew.

Oh I posted on Jules' naughty board. I need a little support to get really dirty but just started a little action.
