fourteen more days before the opening of Twilight on November 21st. I’m very excited. Not only because I’m excited to see the movie but because The ViewPoint Inn, where they filmed the prom scenes of the movie, is going to be hosting a prom and midnight showing of the movie on Nov 20th and Nov 21st. And guess who their DJ is?

I’m stoked.

On movie news the Cast of Twilight have started their press junket to promote the movie. While so many people were voting on November 4th, poor Robert Pattinson was being pimped to multiple promotional events in New York. And much to my amusement he was in quiet but open rebellion of the intense interest and adoration that has come his way. For weeks the various fan sites have been oogling his hair. They even were calling it his “sex hair”. He’s not even allowed to cut it because his publicists consider it his trademark. So what does he do? Tuesday morning, he shows up at his first event looking like he’d just rolled out of bed and put on his ever present beanie. No big deal considering he was doing an early morning radio appearance, but he wore that beanie to every event. He claimed that his hair wasn’t washed and I have no idea if that was true, but when asked to remove the beanie he flat out refused, modestly saying his hair was not appropriate. Now he did change his shirt during the day, starting out in a tee and sweater and changing to a dress shirt that he sometimes wore with a tie and sometimes didn’t. Interesting shot of him wearing a nice shirt and tie with a beanie. I just cracked up with laughter. I knew exactly what he was doing because its what my son is doing.

My son doesn’t want to date girls right now. Or so he insists. And he doesn’t want to get hair cuts and he won’t shave so that he looks scruffy and unnoticeable. He realized he had good looks a few years ago and has been hiding them ever since. And I know that Rob’s recent trend of looking like he never baths and just grabbed whatever clothes were just on the floor near the bed is his way of protesting the insane fangirl adoration he has been receiving. He used to show up to all his promotional events looking modest and decent. He hasn’t this week.

I find it funny and adorable as it reminds me of my son. I don’t blame Rob one bit. He got mobbed in an airport in Mexico, nearly losing his luggage. Everywhere he goes the younger fan girls go nuts and in some cases he needs body guards to even move around. I like to think those of us who are older fan girls know how to give someone their space, but I could be wrong. Some 40 year old just might try hiding out in Rob’s hotel room naked for all I know.

I could be wrong, but it looks like Rob is daring the fan girls to see him at his grungiest and daring them to still like him, hoping that he’ll lose a few. It might work if he was a jerk, but he’s too well bred for that. This is one boy that was raised right and we all know it.

Thanks to Pattinson Online for most of the photos.
