I thought vampires drank blood? I don’t know, I’m not really up on Twilight. And by “not really up on Twilight” I mean, if my sister-in-law likes it, that’s enough reason for me to stay the hell away. Which I have.
Anyway back to the coffee/blood thing. Seems like a vampire wouldn’t really get behind the whole “drinking coffee not blood” thing to begin with? The admonition to “be safe” seems like a tacit endorsement of coffee drinking. Just so mundane for a vampire.
Correct me if I’m wrong- and I know you will because you all care so much about my peace of mind- but don’t coffee places hand you the to-go cup with the sleeve already on it? And wouldn’t you, by taking it off and throwing it away, just be wasting it?
I don’t drink coffee, I drink tea. And I make it at home in a mug and if I must go somewhere, I use a travel mug. How’s that for bein’ green? A totally reusable travel mug.
@#1 since when did being real ever effect anything that these nutty Esty/Regretsy designers make? As one Regretsier once said, Jesus H Macy. Reality is not where these people dwell.
at newbury comics last week at the checkout counter, they had these stupid fake blood bags that said twilight drink or something on them…
everyone is going a bit too far with this crap
My sister-in-law goes to Twilight conventions, and once made a Twilight-ridicule website for her ‘shopped face in the embrace of one of the vampires, which she used as her Facebook profile pic for about a year. She goes to Twilight conventions.
I can’t believe it doesn’t sparkle! BOO HISS! If I was going to make a Twilight-inspired cup cozy, I’d make it in Vanna’s choice Glitterspun yarn to make sure it sparkled. XD
off topic- i couldn’t post on the “pardon me” post but wtf was that?!
that was THE scariest video ever, and i can’t believe i just wasted 4 minutes of my life watching.
my ears (and eyes) are bleeding, and it’s not even stigmata
I can’t get this because Edward stopped taking my calls, so for me to go on pretending like he cares whether I scald my mouth any longer seems almost delusional.
The world has gone insane. This shop proves it. I bet I will see botoxed, fake tanned, 40-something moms here in LA with their screaming little girls wearing this crap. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33290210
Forks?? WTF????
A must for those times when a pre-copulatory dip in the warm waters off Isle Esme just isn’t an option. Nothing spoils a honeymoon faster than chapped lips and a severe case of hypothermia.
@#21 Blondweezie… That piece of jewelry totally missed its proper fandom. It rightly belongs to Mystery Men and fans of the Blue Raja. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Men
How about the Edward pendant? A pot metal pendant from Michael’s with a photo of Edward “sealed” into it. $14.99, which is probably 6 or 7 times the cost if the pendant is a couple bucks and printing out a 1-inch picture of Edward is essentially free. She may be a “diehard twilighter,” as she calls herself, but she’s also got a racket.
This doesn’t make me think of twilight when I see it. And $10 seems expensive for it. It seems like the “be safe” should have something more with it, like an explanation under the “be safe”. I work in women’s helath, so if I were to take this to work, someone would probably write on it in pen something like “be safe, wear a condom” or something else obscene. It’s just asking to have obnoxious comments about what you are supposed to be safe about.
You know… My starbucks dude makes my coffee in my own mug when I bring it in. That’s pretty green.
Especially since my mug was bout to save endangered animals
Not sure if anyone will care, but at SBUX we try NOT to give everyone a cardboard sleeve automatically. The only drinks that are truly too hot to walk around with are the brewed coffee and tea, Americanos, and anything requested extra hot.We also put a sleeve on any Venti drink, cause damn, that’s big. The funny part is that guests have come to see that sleeve as part of the whole “experience,” and they get sad or cranky when they don’t get one. It’s recycled already, but greener to just…

Though the new one is funny, I liked the former tagline so much. “Handmade? It looks like you made it with your feet.” evoked the perfect combination of mockery and fuckery.
It annoys me how generic all the Twicrap is. I’m surprised they didn’t try to claim “Hello” for Twilight since I’m sure someone says it at some point. I much preferred the Harry Potter spazzing because never once did I go “Dangit, I used to use Dumbledore all the time. Pass the dumbledore please, have a nice dumbledore. Now everyone thinks I’m into that wizard crap”
Someone please tell me what the forks have to do with that book, so that I never need to read it. In the 1980s, I used to have a fork on a chain in the pocket of my jacket, and I thought it was cool. I could whip it out and ask, “Wanna fork?”
January 21, 2010 at 11:16 am
I don’t think that Edward Cullen would want me to “be” anything, because.he.is.not.real.
January 21, 2010 at 11:17 am
What? It doesn’t even sparkle!
January 21, 2010 at 11:19 am
This will save the Starbucks cardboard coffee sleaves for that other crafter who makes shit out of them.
Be safe, drink carefully.
January 21, 2010 at 11:21 am
I’d rather be safe from shameless name-dropping.

Edward had to switch to decaf, regular was keeping him up all day.

She’s recommending her other listing (a brown paper bag) for twilight conventions. ‘nuf said.

Is this not directed at Tweens? Should they even be drinking coffee? Sheesh. Leave something for us grownups.

Sorry about your sister-in-law. Sorry, but I would rather put hot rusty forks in my eyeballs than go to a twilight convention.

What does this have to do with Twilight??? I thought it was something Christmas themed. What do I know…..

Edward Cullen told me he wants her to learn to cut in a straight line.

January 21, 2010 at 1:58 pm
@ #31 kitty… Is she going to come to my house to customize that bracelet every day? I read Twilight every night at 7 pm.
January 21, 2010 at 1:59 pm
She wants 9.99 for an “up”cycled mouse pad she embroidered?! Even Carlisle would kill this one.
January 21, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Ok. I’ll be the first to ask this…
How is buying cheap beer cozies at the dollar store, then have them embrodered AT A STORE handmade?

January 21, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Maybe it is a warning not to accidentally pour scalding hot blood on your thighs.
January 22, 2010 at 9:23 am
Would it have really hurt to use a ruler to cut it straight atleast?
January 22, 2010 at 9:26 am
Also, I think this looks more like a beer cozy than a coffee sleeve.
January 22, 2010 at 11:46 am
#30 That was my 1st thought too!
I was sure this was promoting safe sex, but apparently safe coffe-drinking with a vampire is a more important topic.
