Twilight: The Fantasy
Yes, I went to see the movie Twilight. I can't lie and tell you that my young niece and nephew dragged me to see the film. I wanted to go. Since I discovered Ann Rice's novel, Interview with a Vampire, I have been fascinated with the subject. I have been reading every bit of press about this film for months. Vanity Fair featured the cast of the movie posed as the hot new Hollywood icons. Entertainment Weekly's cover story this week features the movie's smoldering star, Robert Pattinson, with the headline "TWILIGHT EXPLODES!" I was at the Today show studios and watched the escalating frenzy as Pattinson and his beautiful costar, Kristen Stewart, walked into the studio. It was total pandemonium. How could I not go? I had to see what all the hype was about.I tried to order my tickets online, only to find the movie was sold out for the entire opening weekend in every theater in New York City. I was disappointed but I accepted my fate and made plans for the following weekend. During the week I heard more about the movie's romance than the usual kills and blood sucking that occur in every vampire story. I was a bit confused. I really had no idea what to expect as I navigated through the mad crush to get in the theater and find a seat.
About 15 minutes into Twilight I realized that this was a movie about a first love. Initially, I was irritated. I was expecting a movie with amped-up action scenes and fair maidens in distress. Instead, I found myself in the middle of a fantasy about an impossible love that could be eternal. What I found most surprising was that I became mesmerized by the movie. I realized that no matter how jaded I have become, the fantasy of finding a soul mate is never lost.
Fantasies are a pleasure we should always allow ourselves to enjoy. They provide the sweet moments in life that often make us excited about tomorrow. Fantasies have never been more important than they are now. These are precarious times. The holidays are upon us. It is time to live our fantasies to the fullest.
The easiest fantasy to explore is our appearance. Now is the time to
try the haircut, style, and color of your heart's desire. Relax! All
changes don't have to be forever, but this doesn't mean you can't have
fun with your looks right now.
Have you always dreamed of making your hair color lighter or brighter? Use a lighter formula around your hairline to create the illusion of a blonder look. Have you ever thought of being a red head? What are you waiting for? Use a semi-permanent color if you're a bit nervous or unsure about your color change. The color will slowly blend away after several shampoos if you don't like the results.
Has thick wavy hair always been your fantasy? Hair extensions are the solution for you. Excessively long hair extensions might be on the wane, but clip-in extensions are the perfect solution to add volume to the finest hair. If you fall in love with your thick locks, the extensions can be sewn on for a more permanent result.
Much to the bane of the existence of women with straight hair, curls and waves have never been more desirable than they are now. Large barrel curling irons can give the straightest hair movement and waves.
Are you dying to cut your long hair short but frightened you will end up in tears? Here's a secret to trying out short hair: Have your hairdresser layer your hair around your face. Tie your hair back in a loose knot, leaving out some of your new layers. You now have the chance to try the look of a short hair style before you make the final cut.
Makeup is the easiest way to create a fantasy. I think that every woman desires sparkling eyes and moist lips. Be bold when you are picking eye shadow and lipstick shades. They are inexpensive pleasures that can instantly change your look.
Twilight is a movie that was written for young people but contains a lesson for adults. The film's protagonists Edward and Bella followed their hearts' desires and found lasting love that could overcome the most difficult odds. Watching the movie made me think how important it is to embrace our fantasies, to have a chance to live a life beyond our wildest dreams. I believe in fantasies. Do you?
