Vampire Weekend


Robert Pattinson


True Blood

Happy New Year! I was lucky enough to start out the new year by the beach with my boyfriend and lovely friends! It's been scorching in Perth the last few days so it was delightful sipping moscato, eating cheese and crackers and watching the sunset whilst bringing in the new year! I hope you all have had a great start to the new year which I am predicting to be a year of new exciting times, changes and an all-round great year! Yippeeee!

As I mentioned its been super hot so my days have been filled with iced drinks, fans and watching TV and movies! O-M-G we are completely vampire obsessed! For Christmas the boyf and I were given the boxset of True Blood. It's set in the deep South (accents are hilarious!) where vampires have 'come out' and live among the human race. Its made by the same people who made Six Feet Under so expect the same amount of kookiness and strange characters. It stars Anna Paquin and also Ryan Kwanten who is best known by Aussies as Vinnie from Home and Away. Its a winner...I can not WAIT for season 2! For me its up there with Gossip Girl (its still my favourite show of 2008) - yep big call I know and two very different shows...

So its not just me who is vampire-obsessed as my girlfriends are all addicted to Stephenie Meyer's vampire novels and dragged us to Twilight last night (2nd time round for them!) We were by far the oldest people in the cinema but I was assured I would to become addicted and sure enough I was completely smitten. Gosh, Robert Pattinson is sooo beautiful! I wasn't really feeling him in the movie posters or the first few scenes but the more I watched the more I swooned. Apart from the budget special effects and the cheesy soundtrack I once again am hanging out for the second installment- oh and I have been given all the books to read in the mean time.

What was your favourite TV series and movie of 2008?

P.S So 'Twilight' was not my 2008 fave pick mine was Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona -if you haven't seen it do it! Its summery, sexy and super entertaining!
