Cafepress Tip

As my shop is based in Cafepress, here’s a helpful tip for any other shopkeepers (or future shopkeepers!):

Wear your designs. People ask about them, and it gets you a lot of potential customers. And be sure to have a business card with you, just in case. That’s the lesson I learned today wearing my Summertime Shirt.

Kristen Stewart cast as Bella Swan for the Twilight movie!

Twilight fans, gather round! Kristen Stewart has just been cast as Bella Swan in the upcoming Twilight movie (based on the book by Stephenie Meyer) in 2008!

Stephenie Meyer’s thoughts:

“I’m very excited to have Kristen Stewart play Bella in the upcoming Twilight movie. She’s an amazing actress with experience all across the board—action, horror, comedy, romance, and more. Since Twilight has moments that fit into every one of these genres, I’m thrilled to have a Bella who has practice with them all.Summit’s vision of the Twilight movie continues to dovetail very closely with mine, and I’m comforted to know that my “baby” is in the right hands.For every actress that has been suggested as Bella in the past few years, there are always a slew of critics that cry, “But she doesn’t look like Bella!” (Which can often be translated thusly: “She doesn’t look like ME!”) To this I would like to say: “Of course she doesn’t!” Bella is a fictional character, and she looks different to everyone. As is the same with every actor who will be cast in the next few months, no one is going to match up with your mental picture exactly—or mine. The thing to hope for is a really great actor who can make us believe she is Bella (or Alice or so forth) for roughly two hours. I think we’ve got that with Kristen Stewart, and I can’t wait to see her step into the role!”

As for my opinion, I think it’s great that someone has been cast for Bella (even though Stewart wouldn’t have been my first choice). At least we know the movie is going along!

About The Funk House

Let us start with a bit about my shop. My shop, The Funk House, sells designs for Twilight, Gilmore Girls, and more TV/book styles! Not to mention the store holds a plethora of funny, comical styles, photography, and unique, artsy designs that are sure to please. The store has only been open a few months, but is already thriving. I originally opened this shop in hopes to make some extra cash on the side with some Twilight designs and such that were lying around. Little did I know how big it would get! Especially the designs for Twilight, which have been sold around the world. At a book signing for the popular series, I saw a few people WEARING my own designs, much to my excitement, and even Stephenie Meyer, the author, commented on the tees! Gilmore Girls and the Broadway designs are also growing fast, and though they haven’t yet topped Twilight, they’re most definitely thriving.
