I can't believe I'm doing this

Okay, look. I can't be at the computer a whole lot and I can post links even less, particularly since I'm cleaning madly for the lunchtime electricians, but we have got to get a few things out of the way because this is the subject of half my inbox this morning:

Yes, I have seen the sparklecock. Yes, you too can now own your own unofficially Twilight-themed glitter dildo. Well, technically I haven't looked at it yet, although I have read the description ("THROW IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR THAT AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE"?), because I am on the family computer and I will never, ever be able to explain this.

And yes, Edward's life-size shadow can watch you while you use it.

Excuse me, I have to go bleach my mind's eye now.


(Also, Amazon's Tonner prom exclusive Bella has her own little leg cast. Apparently the doll's product name--the way the SDCC Edward exclusive was "Hungry"--is "Turn Me." I... I really don't like thinking about all three of these items being in the same room.)

Well, I can't blame them--if they sell? And they're exclusives, so fewer are being made. Honestly, there's like four different Harry Potter dolls (regular! weekend clothes! Yule Ball! tournament!), three different Rons and Hermiones--dolls with variant outfits aren't unusual for them, particularly for a property that popular. Even with Golden Compass, there's several Mrs. Coulter dolls and/or outfits, and two separate Lyras.

Yeah, that's true. I can't help feeling taken advantage of though. You know, on behalf of people that are weak and can't help themselves buying stuff like that. That they have absolutely no need for. But not myself, of course. Of course not. **shuts up now, should have taken the 5th**

I personally try to get the outfits on eBay, like I did Lyra's school dress, unless the doll itself is significantly different (say, very particular/complicated hair).
