Specially for Twilighters (Read: JM) XP

One of my best friends, JM, got KT and I to become twilighters by introducing the book Twilight and showing us the teasers and trailers on youtube whilst feeling extremely anticipated about the movie being released in December (we're so gonna watch it together eh?!). Yesterday, there was a book release party held in Borders. Obviously, it was the release of the 4th book (also final) and sequel of the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer – Breaking Dawn. As fans could dress up as their favourite characters and a prize would be given to the best dressed, KT and I thought it was interesting. So as curious as we were, we headed to Borders after grabbing bubble tea each for AUD2 (usual price: $3.90 - went during Happy Hour). I have nothing much to say about the book release party, but what the heck? A picture says a thousand words so I'll just let the pictures do the talking! ;)
"Kids" 'dressing up' as their favourite characters outside Borders

Breaking Dawn sold out completely

Forks is one of the places in Twilight
(for those who don't read Twilight)


Gloria Jeans in Borders was the venue for the event

Each group was named after those in the book

The Denali Clan

The Spirit Warriors

The New Ancients


Twilight Lovers

The Vegan Bloods

Got bored watching the event

XOXO,

Hey! Thanks for the post! I appreciate it, though the party looks kinda boring I dunno... maybe cos the author / actual stars aren't there? you know penang cannot sell out breaking dawn. all sit there collecting dust!

btw, love your imitations, especially the darkling :)

Lin said...

jm: hahaha...well, to be honest, it was boring. if not kt and i wouldn't b imitating poses on book covers =S ROTFL really? but now they stock up breaking dawn d...and the price is juz the same as the pre-order ones. cheh. what's the point of pre-ordering then?

hehe, thank you! =) maybe we can do that at the end of the year at MPH...LOL
