Rhonda has never made any secret of her disdain for Bella Swan, angsty, self-absorbed heroine of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Through the first two movies, she was completely supportive of those vampires who track, stalk, and otherwise terrorize Bella. Rhonda says she hasn’t seen Eclipse, the third movie, but she’s heard rumors that Victoria is creating an army of vampires for the sole purpose of avenging the death of her mate–a death for which Victoria holds vampire Edward responsible. Naturally, Rhonda supports Victoria’s goal of killing Bella Swan to punish Edward.
Fans of the books/movies generally divide themselves between Bella’s two suitors/defenders, assigning themselves to Team Edward or Team Jacob. When we watched the extras from the second movie, New Moon, Rhonda appreciated the T-shirt given to actress Rachelle Lefevre, who played Victoria in the first two movies, by her stunt double:
When I got Mattel’s Victoria doll, Lindsey privately remarked that Rhonda should own one of those dolls–but wearing a Team Rhonda T-shirt. This was something I could make happen. I also thought about getting Lindsey an Alice doll, since we both like Ashley Greene’s character, and making a Team Alice shirt.
Sadly, when it came time to shop, there was no Alice doll on the shelves. But I did find the Victoria doll for Rhonda. Here, modeling the T-shirts I made for Victoria, are my Alice, Bella, and Victoria dolls:
Since we all saw and liked Alice in Wonderland, Tim suggested an addition to Alice’s T-shirt:
I think I finally found a Barbie doll Rhonda likes:
Count me in with Team Rhonda!! I haven’t watched the movies yet becaus eI am still trying to recover from all the whining in the books. Although, Cary has all three and is insisting I borrow them.
Don’t watch the first one. Taylor Lautner doesn’t go shirtless until the second one.
Also mean.
Hey! I am encouraging viewing!
Mean.
Those books reminded me why I only taught high school for one year. lol
So awesome!
I giggled the entire time I made those T-shirts.
and the Oscar for “best whining from books to film” goes to Bella…
The third mean.
LJ needs a like button. LOL
Those shirts are FANTASTIC!
😀
It is gratifying to see that the Victoria doll looks like Rachelle Lefevre. I thought that she was excellent as Victoria.
*shudders*
She. Was. SCARY.
I <3 the t'shirts.
Thanks!
Yeah, she sort of looks like both Victorias. She’s a really pretty doll. I liked Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria, too, and wonder how she’d have played Victoria differently from Bryce Dallas Howard in Eclipse. That said, it wasn’t hard after the first seconds to accept the change in actresses.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen The Rhonda smile so big.
I’ve never loved her more for the way she thinks 🙂
Just remember, she is EVIL. At least that’s what she keeps telling us.
A word about the movies, personally I think that the soundtracks are amazing, and well the wolf pack … you know how I feel. I do have a few objections to the book, but I also I bring a lot of my own issues to it — and I think Bella is a little bit of a INSERT SELF HERE … and she isn’t deserving of the heaps of trouble she gets. I am really glad that I read the series – and if Bella isn’t strong enough for you, there’s Rosalie, Leah and a host of other women in the book.
LOVE the t shirts! You did a great job
Thanks! I wondered if I could bring it down to 1:6 scale and have it still be readable–and all I can say is YAY for ink jet printers and transfers from Jo-Ann.
I <3 Jo Ann's; There was one right around the corner from my first apartment in Lexington, but here I have to go when I am in Nashville, so there is not "popping in to broswe."
Team Crazy Bitch That Wants To Kill Bella
ROFLMAO
I was also surprised to find that I liked Alice in Wonderland‘s sequel, enough to watch it twice. I vaguely remember the first Alice in Wonderland, though.
