Vampires?

Posted by: Ace on: November 25, 2009

So I was flipping through a magazine today and they had a page of photos of Twilight-themed goods available to buy online. One of these was a wall transfer that said:

I was looking at birthday card when I came across Edward Monkton’s range.
These are weird, but funny. Some examples:

and my  favorite…

So I was reading Isis the Scientist’s blog, as I quite often do. (I’ve become a semi-regular over there, getting involved in discussions mostly involving forms of discrimination, usually based on sex and gender, discussions which end up getting quite heated, and philosophical, and eerily similar) And I read this post, which talks about a post (I’m [...]
