Breaking Dawn 2 Premiere: More Pictures From My Little Corner of the Black Carpet

When I found out that black carpet and bleacher positions for the Breaking Dawn 2 premiere were going to be assigned via lottery and not the same method as at prior premieres (you know, loiter around the Nokia Center for hours upon hours while pretending like you're not really loitering and then run like crazy at 2am to wait in an unofficial line and freeze to death all night without any sleep), frankly, I was a little worried.

 

Although we didn't end up with a spot right along the barricade this time, our little front corner actually ended up being quite wonderful. We were right there in the heat of the action, with a pretty good view of actors as they arrived and a prime spot for watching them do the Yahoo Live Stream interviews.

Honestly, my heart just melts when Peter Facinelli smiles. And I still think the Twilight hair and make up people who styled Carlisle should be flogged.

 

 

 

 

Any picture of Peter that has him looking at me (or even appears to have him looking at me) is always a win

 

 

I do believe he was mesmerized when he spotted me in the crowd, don't you think?

 

 

 

 

Elizabeth Reaser looked absolutely beautiful. By the way, if you're not following her on twitter, you're missing out because she is hilarious!

 

 

 

 

Billy Burke one of my favorite members of the Twilight cast and a total stud. That is all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mackenzie Foy reminded me of a beautiful porcelain doll. I still marvel at how well she handles herself around all the media and fan frenzy. 

 

 

 

 

Stephenie Meyer is always so wonderful, taking more time to talk to fans and sign autographs at events than anyone else. You'd think she would get tired of hearing basically the same gushy story over and over, but she graciously makes each fan feel special. 

 

 

 

 

Jackson Rathbone was too difficult to corner at the premiere for a good photo, but I'm giving you the ones that I have since I adore him so much. Yes, that's Justin Chon next to him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know I sound like a broken record telling you repeatedly how incredible each actor looks in person and how wonderful and appreciative they are to the fans, but believe me that it's especially true of Ashley Greene. Plus, she always does it in killer shoes. Wish I had a picture of them for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my third post of photos from the Breaking Dawn 2 premiere, so just scroll on down if you missed any of them. You won't want to miss the Rob pictures ;)

Breaking Dawn 2 Fan Camp and Premiere: 10 Favorite Pictures

I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything that happened this past week leading up to the Breaking Dawn Premiere in LA, but so far just can't string the right words together to do it justice. I had the most amazing time and every single day was just one great experience after another.

I camped out with so many friends at Tent City (where I happily slept on the ground and brushed my teeth over a trashcan), saw tons of Twilight actors, got to thank Stephenie Meyer for making such an incredible impact on my life (I cried and she hugged me. It was awesome), had a phenomenal evening on the black carpet, and watched Breaking Dawn 2 in the same room with all of the actors and director. Don’t worry, I would never dream of giving movie spoilers, so I'll just say that I absolutely loved it and I know you will too.

While I gather my thoughts and sift through a multitude of pictures over the next few days, here are some favorites that capture my most memorable and weepy experience.

Even though this chapter of my Twilight life may be over, the friendships that I’ve made along the way will go on forever. I’m truly grateful for all of you and look forward to our next adventure.

Comic-Con 2012: Stephenie Meyer and the Parade of Vampires

I’ll bet you never realized that my erratic posting schedule and haphazard chronological style is all part of a master plan to keep things at TwiBite unpredictably fresh and… oh who am I kidding? I am a procrastinator of the worst sort and incapable of posting my musings in order, but thank you so much for still sticking around!

No surprise, but Breaking Dawn Part 2 has been on my mind quite a lot lately. Not only am I obsessing about Tent City camping next month, but I’ve also realized that time is running out to re-read the 2nd half of the book before the movie opens. And is it just me or are there an awful lot of new vampires?!

My severe lack of Breaking Dawn knowledge became especially apparent at Comic-Con a few months ago when Stephenie Meyer and 28 mostly new cast members visited us in line and I couldn’t identify most of the actors or the characters they portrayed. So, as a sort of public service, here are some pictures from a very awesome night in line at Comic-con with the actor & character names included to help you study. And don’t even think about asking me what coven they’re in.

 

I apologize ahead of time that nearly every photo includes Twi-daughter Nicole or me. My apologies also to ZAnyMouse and 17ForeverLisa because they were right next to us during the entire frenzy and I have not a single picture of them to share with you. Everything happened so quickly it was just so exciting to be surrounded by so much Twilightiness. There are a few actors that missed our section of the line, but I think we saw just about everyone.

 

 

Stephenie Meyer - It was so exciting to see her again! She's had such a major impact on my life.

Joe Anderson (Alistair) - I think Nicole was most thrilled to meet him out of everyone there because she's a huge fan of his work.

 

 

Peter Facinelli (Carlisle) - This is my favorite picture of the night and it was so wonderful to see Peter with a smile on his face again.

 

 

Kellan Lutz (Emmett) - One of the best huggers ever
(LOL, ZAnyMouse photo bomb alert!)

 

 

Angela Sarafyan (Tia)

 

 

Bill Tangradi (Randall)

 

 

Rami Malek (Benjamin)

 

 

Guri Weinberg (Stefan)

 

 

Mia Maestro (Carmen)

 

 

Maggie Grace (Irina)

 

 

Lisa Howard (Siobhan)

 

 

Judith Shekoni (Zafrina)

 

 

Tracey Heggins (Sienna) - I have to say, Judith and Tracey are VERY tall!

 

 

Ashley Greene (Alice)

 

 

Mackenzie Foy (Renesmee)

 

 

Elizabeth Reaser (Esme)

 

 

Nikki Reed (Rosalie)

 

 

Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) - We had such a great conversation about his upcoming musical plans and his new baby. He's a very proud new Dad. Gah, I just love that guy and miss 100 Monkeys!

 

 

Valorie Curry (Charlotte)

 

 

JD Pardo (Nahuel)

 

 

Amadou Ly (Henri)

 

 

Janelle Froehlich (Yvette)

 

 

Marisa Quinn (Huilen)

 

 

How awesome is this poster? There are about 25 autographs and I can’t identify most of them.

 

 

And here’s a little something to send you on your way with a smile on your face.
