    Much better gift for toddler, & you don’t have to worry about shipping costs-room for the kid to breathe! A chance to be herself! Encouragement to be an individual!
    Oh wait, what’ll happen with poor moms delusions, & living vicariously? An alchemy request for a shamanic cleansing should take care of it.

    I HATE Twilight and it bothers me soo many women look up to a DOORMAT female character like Bella. Anyone who looks up to Bella does not have a chance in hell to be a strong woman IMO.

    All the women at my work who like Twilight and Bella are in abusive marriages , relationships and/or have ZERO self esteem.

    I’m clueless when it comes to alchemy requests. Is this mom asking for someone to: 1) Watch the movie, 2) sketch the dress from a paused screen, 3) Pattern the design, 4) Buy the material, 5) Sew the dress, 6) Earn $15?

    $15?

    Really?

    Is that what they’re willing to pay for 6 hours of work and material?

    When my oldest was 5 she wanted to be Supergirl. I bought 1 yard of fabric with the superman logo all over it; tied the corners into a knot; slipped it over her head; and she ran…

    Even if she pays the $3 on top of that $15, I hope she’ll accept felt only, because $15 MIGHT cover the fabric cost, but not likely. Nevermind the thread and time spent making it.

    And I don’t know what else goes into this dress, because I don’t even watch the stupid thing myself, much less let a 5-YEAR-OLD.

    But maybe that’s just me.

    I thought they were supposed to be watching Sesame Street and learning to read, not watch emotionally abusive adult relationships that talk about needing to have babies before they get too old (ya know, 20 must be too old for them…)

    And, does your daughter *really* love Twilight, or do you want to relive your High School years (that you obviously never outgrew) and project all of your emotional needs onto your little…

My oldest wanted to wear the SAME outfit in “Pretty Woman”, not the polka-dot polo match dress, the white-tank-top-blue-mini with vinyl thigh-high boots. My youngest wanted the black dress from “Indecent Proposal”. My son (middle child) wanted to be a velociraptor from “Jurassic Park”.

    I suppose letting your 5 year old watch the twilight series enough that she wants a dress to show her love for the movie isn’t as bad as the time my husband and I went and saw Hannibel, talking afterwords how our son would never be allowed to see that, and then seeing parents walk out with the apparent 6 and 10 year old in front of us.

    But still, not good.

    And don’t get me started on the price! And you know she’ll bitch when she gets it and its all wrinkled and stuffed in an envelope!

    I’m reminded of the beginning of the Pet Humiliation chapter in the book, where April says that dogs who let people dress them up do it to please their humans, NOT because they’re actually interested in it. “Toddler Bella” here doesn’t give a good god damn about Twilight, or about which dress she wears. She wants to have happy fun time with Mommy.

    Maybe a Toddler Humiliation chapter in the sequel is in order? I mean, when there is a sequel?

    She says she cannot find an image of the dress. I’ve never seen the movie. (Don’t intend to, even if my daughter does own all the books and DVDs and whatnot)

    Someone tell me if this is the dress:

    Then tell me if this is the dress for sale:

    My top 10 list of what is sad about this request.
    5. I’m only going to pay $3.00 shipping for a dress. I know it’ll cost more so you’re SOL.
    4. Your time and materials are only worth $15.00 to me.
    3. I can’t describe it, but you can look it up.
    2. I’m forcing you to watch the entire movie to find this clip.
    6. At least 2 other people understand what the F**k I’m talking about.
    1. I want my baby to grow up to be a vampire.

    I assume this nut-case, excuse me, “Twi-mom” needs the dress “before the Eclipse premiere” so that her daughter – A TODDLER – can wear it to the movie. A movie that is rated PG-13. Brilliant.

    When I was in a 5T, my mom had to take me out of the theater during “E.T.” because THAT scared the shit out of me. I’m sure her preschool-aged daughter will just giggle her way through “Eclipse.”

    I remember when I saw Titanic and people brought their toddlers with them. One was behind us and started bawling his/her (I can’t remember the gender anymore to be honest.) eyes out during the part with the frozen bodies in the ocean. I’m going to take a shot in the dark here and say the kid was frightened. Had to listen to the crying throughout the rest of the movie.

    Yeah, that kid is in therapy now. I don’t even have to wonder about it.

    You realize the movie comes out on the 29th? She asked for a fifteen-dollar full dress to be made and shipped under three dollars and arrive at her home in LESS THAN TEN DAYS?

    Though I should hope she’s not taking her toddler to the midnight showing… but I’m sure she will. Maybe the preteen Bella-wannabes will get her kicked out if her kid starts crying, though (which it will — no kid under five is gonna want to be awake after midnight).

  82. Street Corner Hooker, those TwiTards won’t hear that screaming baby over their own shrieks of hysteria.

    I used to think the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz were scary…I almost couldn’t watch them! When I watched the movie with my daughters when they were little (in the 90′s) and I told them here comes the scary part…..they laughed at the flying monkeys! They had already been exposed to scarier stuff and the monkeys looked cheesy in comparison! LOL!

    Maybe when the toddler get a little older she can get an Exorcist dress.

    NOT the one from the levitation scene with blood all over it. The cute sky blue one with vomit and blood.

    I think she meant SHE loves Twilight, because it’s not like a Toddler goes out and chooses the movie/book being shown/read to them.

    Twilight does suck! What’s worse is they’re marketing it to kids now. Burger King’s youngling meals feature Twilight toys this week. It’s disgusting!

    My husband saw “Aliens” when he was 5, and I’m pretty darn positive it messed him up for life. Honestly, I can’t imagine what “Twilight” would do to a kid. My 4-year-old has seen the first 3 Harry Potters, and they have – GASP! – character development, plot, and MORALS! Not to mention that the family can – OH NOES! – sit and read the books together and talk about them!

    Not to mention, that movie comes out in a week. $15 for materials, a sew job on rush order, and shipping time? Even though she put it up a few days ago, thats just ridiculous.

    you think I could get an alchemy request for my 3-year-old’s halloween costume this year? She loves starwars, and she insists this is her favorite:

    surely some work-at-home crafty sort could whip that up for a few bucks in no time!

    So, I’m reading this book called ‘nightlight’, it’s by the harvard lampoon and can be picked up at the local walmart, along with the depends you will need after you pee your pants. it’s a lovely parody I think you’ll all enjoy. And let your kids read it, learning to have a sense of humor and understand satire is much more valuble than learning to be disenfranchised with reality. Srsly.

    Forget the subject…. THIS is why my mother no longer does out of family sewing requests. Person wanting something custom, and RUSHED at that. With no concept of the material cost, time and construction needed. That cost is not equal to materials, but time as well. And often times, child size is HARDER, because you’re scaling something down. It just fails. Not to $15. My daughter is size 3T, i wouldn’t dream of a custom costume that cheap for her. unless it’s made of placti-fabric or felt.

    I can almost forgive letting a young kid watch a movie like Twilight, because I know as a kid most things just went over my head. I can even almost understand that some people just have no idea how much things should cost. What really gets me, though, is that she wants the seller to watch the movie to make the costume, which she wants shipped before the movie comes out. How does that work? Is she actually willing to pay $15 plus use of time machine?
