Twilight Eclipse DVD: Five Reasons You Moms Will Love It!

Twilight Eclipse DVD: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart make moms smile!

Did you get your “Twlilight: Eclipse” DVD yet? Yesterday I noted that other moms’ Facebook status were full of “waiting for my Eclipse DVD!” and “Loving Eclipse extras.” The most popular feature seemed to be the Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart commentary, which generated a lot of Twitter comments, too. Here are five reasons you Twihard moms will love this new DVD!
1. Because it’s not “SpongeBob,” the Wiggles or anything animated.
2. Because Rob Pattinson is soooo much dreamier than your husband. (Whom you love, but let’s be realistic.)
3. Because the older Rob gets, the less guilty you have to feel about lusting after him.
4. Because the Rob and Kristen (I’d say Robsten … but I still can’t stomach that teenbopper term) commentary is pretty funny. (At one point, Rob pretends he’s Batman, and he makes a “Hey, Boo Boo!” reference.)
5. Because sometimes we need to be reminded that we’re more than just moms – we’re busy women who also need to enjoy things other than our dear and wonderful children. “Twilight” is always the perfect reminder.

Breaking Dawn: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Steamy Scenes

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are in Brazil filming Breaking Dawn. But steamy photos from the Breaking Dawn of Rob and Kristen making out are burning up the Internet.

Playing husband and wife onscreen has made Robsten even more romantic and things seem to be getting more serious between the two actors.

The steamy photos from the Breaking Dawn set have even set off rumors that there will be a Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart wedding on the horizon—or even a baby!  Why do people go crazy about the Twilight story and about Edward & Bella?  Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade gives his opinion, in an interview with the Vancouver Sun:

“I do believe in romantic love. How could you not, if you’re lucky enough to find it? It seems like we live in a much more sarcastic . . . cynical culture, and I don’t like to use the c-word. There’s the idea out there maybe that (romantic love) isn’t cool. But true love is a wonderful thing.”

Breaking Dawn, the final story in in the Twilight Saga follows main characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen as they get married, start a family and Bella turns immortal.

Breaking Dawn is such a long story it has to be broken up into two films.  Part 1 is set for release on November 18, 2011, with Part 2 in November, 2012.

Are You a Twilight Mom? Come Out of the Closet!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD will be released Saturday morning at 12:01am and I will be there.  I’m Michelle and I am a Twilight Mom. I started reading the Twilight Saga to monitor my daughters, who were reading the books (like every other girl their age).

The first Twilight book was my gateway drug, from then on I was completely addicted.

It’s no secret that the Twilight series has of fans who are not teens. The term “Twilight Mom” is a term to describe women of a certain age who love the Twilight Saga. There are legions of professional, educated women—many with children—who go weak in the knees for Edward Cullen.

The Babble article The Secret Affair Of Moms, makes the point that “Twilight is the antidote to the monotony of marriage.”  I totally agree!

The Twilight story reminds moms of that first love.  The first boy who swept us off our feet and made our hearts pound.  Sometimes it’s hard to keep the flame of romance burning when you and your “soul mate” have to pay the mortgage.  Edward Cullen is easy to fantasize about because he doesn’t leave the toilet seat up in the middle of the night.

New York Magazine wrote a story about moms who love Twilight last year during the Twilight Saga: New Moon fan frenzy:

And, as it turns out, a large percentage of devoted fans of Meyer’s four novels and two films are smart, sophisticated, well-read mothers. Perhaps because the love story at the crux of the saga is unconventionally adolescent.

I just found out this week that a few of my fellow Famecrawler contributors share my obsession.  If you’re a secret Twilight Mom, come out of the closet.  You are not alone!
