Too much of a good thing | Free and Flawed

I am all for the marketing folks behind Twilight. Sure they use the same photo of Edward on every poster, sticker and T-Shirt, but despite that, they’ve done a great job getting this low-budget movie on top at the box office.

After my roommate brought home a key chain bearing the Cullen family crest, I knew that the line had to be drawn somewhere. And now I’m torn. With word of an Edward Cullen doll being sold, I thought for sure this would be the end of the movie’s success. However, I was wrong. Now fans, and non-fans, can smell like the vampire himself:

Can we draw the line now? We get it, the movie did exceptionally well. The characters are now embedded in the minds of teenage (and not-so-teenage) girls and guys across the world. No relationship is safe. But please, I beg of you, stop.

Does it even smell good? And with its sequel, New Moon, right around the corner, I have a feeling this will never slow down.

Paulas last blog post..IT’S MORE FUN THIS WAY . . .

I am so OVER the Twilight (movie) hype. The books was better. Stop the over-marketing!!!

That doll is terrifying, but I’m still pretty sure I need it in my life.

Ashleys last blog post..I’M DEFINITELY GOING TO REGRET THIS

This is what ruins things, they go so overboard with extending the marketing to every insignificant thing that has nothing to do with the book or the movie and people get irritated!

Vanessas last blog post..Burning Bowl Ceremony

I think it smells like sparkly moss after a morning rain…

and estrogen, gobs and gobs of estrogen

Rachel M.s last blog post..Vlog…FAIL

shantis last blog post..and another year has passed

I twittered about Edward body shimmer a few weeks ago. I think it’s far more ridiculous than perfume haha

Jamies last blog post..puppies in coats

i’m sorry but i just can’t help but laugh at this one! haha

I saw this on Twitter today and was not 100 percent surprised. Action figures will be next. I think this is going a little far though.

Jessicas last blog post..Goals for 2009

This is just not right.

Can’t they let us love Edward Cullen and stop with the over-marketing?

We love the books. We love the movie(s).

Why, why must there be perfume?!

*Says the 29 year old*

If I was a teen and reading these books, the perfume would so be mine!

East Coast Teachers last blog post..Dear God,

I think you should check out that perfume.

Also, have you heard about the Edward Cullen body glitter or something along those lines? Because THAT is ridiculous.

E.P.s last blog post..Wild Weekends: The NYE edition

Is it bad that I am slightly intrigued by the perfume? Yes? Ok.

Erins last blog post..But I Hate Resolutions…

Never actually saw the movie.

And the fragrance looks cute, but reminds me of “Be Delicious” which is enough for me.

But yeah, it’s fanatically crazy.

Riyans last blog post..Disheartened

Am I the only one who sees this for what it actually is? Those people are trying to find ways to rescue our lousy economy! Pssh, I couldn’t even keep a straight face typing this.

Phils last blog post..Trying on 2009 for size.

[...] the tales themselves, but whether Harry Potter would be continually written about, ad nauseam. As Jenn pointed out, there’s such a thing as too much of a good [...]

um i sort of want that, haha. that is if they don’t get sued for it, i saw on perez that the style is a complete rip off of nina ricci or somebody’s design. oh well. still love me some edward.

katelins last blog post..Starting off ‘09 with a Wii.

I like Twilight just as much as the next person, but this is a little over the top.

We live in a world where people will buy anything…not me, other people.

The New Blacks last blog post..Spotlight

Did you hear that the maker of the perfume is getting sued? APparently the bottle looks too much like a previous perfume. Oh well – I’m okay without a Twilight perfume on the market.
