True Blood Brothas

I'd like to devote this post to my favourite of supernatural beings and my latest obsession-vamps. As teenagers, we all secretly wish for a sexy vampire to show up in the woods behind our mansion (or greasy spoon diner) and hypnotize us into falling in love with them-and then demand that we leave them alone. Well, now you can live out your s&m fantasies vicariously through one of the latest celebrity vamps or their love victims!!

In True Blood (based on Charlaine Harris' 'Southern Vampire Mysteries') Anna Paquin (go Winnipeg!) plays Sookie Stackhouse-perky small town waitress with telepathic powers and the love interest of vampire Bill Compton. An imitation blood drink has been invented to keep the thirsty minority vamp population under control, but they remain an oppressed sub-group in society fighting for equal rights and mainstream tolerance.

In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I was suppose to take this show seriously..the intro is amazing- but something about a bunch of young waitresses in daisy dukes living on a trailer park, running around the forest looking for vampires really screams cheesy thrasher movie...In fact, you can almost predict the order in which people will be killed based on their level of skanky-ness.

But don't be fooled...you will get hooked. Just wait until the vamp blood is being traded on the black market as viagra!

Wait a minute... telepathic waitress with a creepy boss getting pulled into the dark underworld...? It's almost as if someone was sniffing around my diary...

But the award for *best fang-banger* goes to Kristen Stewart (a.k.a. Bella) from my new favourite movie -Twilight (thanks for the addiction Kate). It may be that Bella's character is more natural..more believable, therefore allowing me to more easily pretend to be her. It may be the suspense, the special effects or dreamy co-star Robert Pattinson. Whatever it is, I am officially in the Twilight zone.
