Twilight Tattoos OH MY!

TwiCrackAddict linked This Gallery of Twilight Tattoos... these people are HARD CORE!!! Most of the photos were found HERE where there is some pretty harsh (but often true) commentary about the tats...

Let's take a peak...........



I remember on twitter the girl who tattoo'd Robert Pattinson's autograph onto her inner wrist and I thought, WOW! But these, these are a whole new level of wow...

I LOVE TATS - I have 7 currently, but I dunno if I'd go as far as some of these people... I like the quotes, but again, sagginess comes with age and... well... just take a peak for yourself :)



Thoughts?

LOL

July 8 So You Think You Can Dance - My Thoughts...

From the July 8th episode of SYTYCD:

  • Melissa Sandviga and Ade Obayomi danced Disco to the song “Move On Up” —Destination choreographed by Doriana Sanchez
    Wow, Ade was powerful in this.... Melissa, as always, was beautiful.

  • Melissa Sandviga and Ade Obayomi danced Waltz to the song “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” —Mary J. Blige choreographed by Ron Montez
    I really enjoyed the "raw"ness of this routine.

    I think they may be bottom three, however, because they didn't really stand out... at least to me.

  • Kayla Radomski and Kupono Aweau danced Contemporary to the song “Gravity” —Sara Bareilles choreographed by Mia Michaels
    This was absolutely amazing to me. Kayla without make-up, very emotional, the clip before def. showed the closeness Kapono felt to the theme (Addiction) and I think it was amazing and beautifully executed.

  • Kayla Radomski and Kupono Aweau danced Broadway to the song “The Dance At the Gym” from West Side Story choreographed by Joey Dowling
    I really liked it a lot but i preferred their first routine.

  • Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover danced Foxtrot to the song “Minnie the Moocher” —Big Bad Voodoo Daddy choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin
    I love Caitlin and Jason and I really liked this routine.

  • Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover danced Lyrical jazz to the song “Show Me Heaven” —Maria McKee choreographed by Mandy Moore
    This was so beautiful and graceful and wonderful.... Still, I think they may be tossed into the Bottom 3 again :(

  • Jeanine Mason and Phillip Chbeeb danced Russian folk dance to the song “Kalinka” —Barynya choreographed by Youri Nelzine and Lilia Babenko
    I agree with "Dizzy feet" it wasn't great... I felt it very.... commercially Russian... if that makes sense...

  • Jeanine Mason and Phillip Chbeeb danced Jive to the song “Stuff Like That There” —Bette Midler choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin
    I thought they did wonderfully in this but I fear it may not be enough to keep them out of the tbottom three, despite Phillip's huge following

  • Randi Evans and Evan Kasprzak danced Hip-hop to the song “Halo” —Beyoncé Knowles choreographed by Tabitha D’umo and Napoleon D’umo
    Um - hello? WONDERFUL! I was so very impressed with the way they did this, I agree that NappyTabs chereographed to their strengths, allowing them to be themselves within the hip hop and it worked... well!

  • Randi Evans and Evan Kasprzak danced Samba to the song “Ritmo De Bum Bom”—Jababa choreographyed by Anya Garnis and Pasha Kovalev
    This was a good routine but they weren't passionate enough, they are so cute together, I am sad to see the couple split next week.

  • Janette Manrara and Brandon Bryant danced Argentine Tango to the song “Libertango” from Forever Tango choreographed by Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo
    This was amazing. I am not an expert so I wasn't sure if they were nailing those leg moves or not... but the judges say they did and they are the experts...

  • Janette Manrara and Brandon Bryant danced Jazz to the song “Ruby Blue” —Róisín Murphy choreographed by Wade Robson

    A-friggin'-MAZING.... Wade Robson is freaking awesome, these two dancers are freaking awesome, if they were in bottom three i'd wonder what American was smoking ...

    So bottom three - my predictions - - -

    Jeanine Mason and Phillip Chbeeb

    Melissa Sandviga and Ade Obayomi

    Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover

    Not that I WANT that I just predict that...

    And without seeing their solo's I would say Jason and Caitlin go home... *shrugs* I really don't know.... I worry Evan and Randi may be bottom 3 and that would throw things around.... also Phillip may have come as far as he can, he always rocks the solos and he is growing with all these new styles and his fan base is high... as is Kayla's.... despite being thrown in bottom 3... argh! I don't know this week... I really don't!

    Harry Potter / Twilight Connections

    Of course we all know that Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire (4th movie)



    Now Jamie Campbell Bower is in the last Harry Potter film (Deathly Hallows part I and part II, both being filmed now) as Gellert Grindelwald.



    FYI - November 2010 and July 2011 are the release dates for the final two films, though both are being filmed currently.



    There are connections between the two and also a lot of debate... "pick one, which is better"



    I have to say that both movies/books are great.... but the connections are interesting...

    Some connections others have noticed:

    The buzz words tag on Twilight specifically and the Bella Swan novels in general as “the new Harry Potter” is justifiable beyond the popularity it enjoys with young readers; it’s in many ways the same story.

    Like Harry Potter, Twilight’s themes resonate with postmodern core beliefs while illuminating a few of its blind-spots. Certainly we have the celebration of the misunderstood “other,” the tribe(s) alienated by the predominant metanarrative, as the secret keepers holding the answers longed for by those despising them as evil and inhuman. And there’s quite the conflation of sexuality and spirituality, a real signature of our times...

    ...both Harry Potter and Twilight are “cross-genre bildungsroman novels laden with postmodern themes and religious meaning.”


    Who would win in a fight? Harry or Edward?



    I saw, who cares.... the more important question is who would you bang ;) *ahem* yea...ha

    When it comes to sizzling hot (or marble pale smooth cold....) It's clear that Edward would be the man to bring home... forever.... however, I love both stories very much and find that both series have gotten kids (and moms) reading again.... both contain great magical, mystery and I'd never "choose" one over the other. The fact that the Twilight Series is being filmed locally makes me a tad biased and more involved in the whole thing... but if HP was filmed here I'd be equally thrilled!!!



    And the cast from Harry Potter supports Robert:

    According to the Digital Spy, both Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) who were once castmates of Robert Pattinson in the Goblet of Fire movie voiced their support of Rob’s career.

    Daniel Radcliffe stated, “I won’t pretend we’re best mates or knew each other really well but we really enjoyed working with each other, or at least I enjoyed working with him! He’s doing brilliantly, which is fantastic.”

    Tom Felton said, “It’s just great to see someone who has been in Harry Potter have a life after it, and a much bigger one! So I wish him all the success and I will see Twilight soon, I promise!”



    Can I just add - for the record... um - wow! (Used to be a HUGE Draco/Tom fan... still some photos make me go yum... don't judge me!!! *hides*)

    SYTYCD Mary Murphy

    NY POST feels Mary Murphy, SYTYCD Judge had to dial itback a bit....



    GOOD news, everyone. We've figured out why your eardrums have been bleeding this summer.

    The blame falls squarely with resident ballroom spaz Mary Murphy, a permanent judge on "So You Think You Can Dance"

    .....

    Whether she's on a prolonged screaming spree after a dance she particularly enjoyed or she's throwing contestants on her tired "Hot Tamale Train" (with seats reserved for especially spicy dancers), Murphy's loopy, skyrocketing-decibel schtick is officially beyond painful after five seasons

    ............

    Murphy certainly has the knowledge and the experience to be a sharp judge on the show, particularly of the ballroom-style dances, which are her forte.

    But for every thoughtful comment about the flow and quality of a dancer’s movement, Murphy gives us one like: “Achoo! I’m allergic to down feathers, what can I say. But I wasn’t allergic to that routine!”

    If this were Murphy’s only flaw, we could chalk it up to “hearty enthusiasm” and call it a day. Alas, it is not so.

    She also has a nasty penchant for reaffirming her own statements, as in, “What you are selling there, I am buying, yes I am!”

    And when she isn’t struggling to move her Botox-tempered eyebrows, she may very well turn on the waterworks and sob over a dance that touched her.

    During auditions, she bawled over contemporary dancer Brandon Bryant’s performance, saying, “If you don’t make it to the Top 20, I think I’ll just die this year.” (Sniff, sob.)

    Bryant made it. Our ears are not so lucky.

    It’s too bad that her cringe-worthy antics cause many to hit the mute button whenever it’s her turn to critique a dance.

    is RPattz worth the hype? Upcoming Rob Roles...

    Twilight Lexicon did a brief post linking a very very long post which examines upcoming roles for our beloved RPattz.... it goes into details, including pros and cons, of each role and why he may hav ebeen chosen and what it may do for his career.

    See the lengthy post HERE - The Movie Fanatic which outlines Rob's upcoming roles and all the details and thoughts surrounding them.


    They also have an article "Is Robert Pattinson worth all the hype?" including answers from fans to these pressing questions:

    1. Is Robert Pattinson all hype and no (or little) talent?

    2. Do you think Rob has improved his ways in dealing with the media frenzy from the time he was cast in Twilight until now?

    3. Which of Rob's up and coming movies (choose only 1) do you think would further give him the critical acclaim he deserve?

    4. Who is Rob's most important rival as Hollywood's Next Golden Boy?

    5. Name the actress (aside from Kristen Stewart) who would look awesome acting alongside Rob and would generate a lot of buzz?
