You know someone is obsessed with something when they buy T-shirts having to do with that something. And yes, I’m officially obsessed with Twilight. (Like you didn’t know that.) I now have four shirts dealing with Twilight.
The Twilight Teez shirt has the SLTA pledge on the back of it. Our pledge states:
As members of the SLTA, we pledge to:
Adore all topaz-eyed vampires,
Admire all wonderful werewolves,
Admonish all cliff divers to be safe,
Avoid all red-eyed strangers,And
Avidly read and reread anything
written by Stephenie Meyer!
The owners of Twilight Teez and Infinite Jewelry are honorary members of the SLTA. In February, the SLTA threw a party for them to celebrate the Twilight Teez owner’s birthday. She gave us our shirts as thanks for the party.
With the addition of The Host, we’ve added to our pledge. The addition states:
Furthermore, we pledge to:
Be careful around elevators,
Be wary of pushy women in black,
Be kind to the new kid, even if her eyes are strange,
Be grateful for blue-eyed bodyguards,
Be hopeful when all hope seems lost,And
Be blown away by the (STILL) amazing Stephenie Meyer (who just happens to be Emily’s little sister)!
Back in May, Emily, Stephenie’s older sister, came to one of our parties after The Host signing. Since we were so excited to have her join in our festivities, we added the tidbit about her in our pledge.
My friends and I wore the Twilight Teez and the World Tour shirts at The Host signings. We had the World Tour and Forks shirts made specially for our group; the designs were created by Rachel, one of the SLTA members. The World Tour was made just for the fun of it. I’ve now worn it a few times, including to work.
The Forks shirt is my favorite of the four! I wear it every chance I get. Most people know exactly what it has to do with when they see it and they smile or chuckle when they see me in it. We made this one because we’re taking a trip to Forks together! In fact, our trip is exactly one week away! We’ve been planning this for almost a year, so I’m excited that it’s so close!
The Eeny Meeny shirt was designed by Tarl, Debbie’s (a member of the SLTA) husband. After he joined the Twilight Lexicon, we found out he was an artist because he had a really cool banner of Jacob turning into a werewolf. A lot of the members on the Lex asked Tarl to make them a banner. Eventually, he decided to put some of his designs on Cafepress, so people could buy them. The Eeny Meeny design is my favorite because it reminds me of all the hot men in the Twilight books. Of course, I chose that design when I bought my shirt.
