In the latest Target Women video, my beloved Sarah Haskins takes on a question I grappled with here a couple of weeks ago: What the hell is up with chicks and vampires?
Sadly, her interviews with a bunch of obsessive "Twilight" fans confirm all the stereotypes I wishfully attempted to debunk in that post. Blah blah bad boys, blah blah dangerous, all the way up to a mother of a preteen declaring that "illegal and immoral" dudes are "more exciting." Yikes. And ick. (Haskins to the daughter: "You're going to have a great high school life!") But hey, it's a new Sarah Haskins video, so I can't not post it. I am so totally in that woman's thrall, I'm starting to believe she may have glamored me.
