Willow has some very interesting thoughts about the Twilight phenomenon.

Twilight & Other Creepy Thoughts:

And suddenly Edward Cullen made so much sense as a heart throb. I don't know if Stephanie Myer knew this when she wrote, or if he and that relationship really was more an unconscious product of her upbringing. But Edward Cullen is a boy who

a) does not require a girl give a performance of / have the persona of sexy

b) in having that requirement, thus allowed Bella to feel want and lust and yearning

c) saw nothing wrong with Bella having those desires, but respected/loved her and so wanted to wait (sex was not the end game)

It's startlingly to me to contemplate that Edward / Bella is the romantic story of the century (at least right now contemporarily) because the heroine is aware of, and is allowed to feel her own desire and have her own sexual wants outside of the social act of the new female/feminine performance of pretty and the hero gives a damn about it.

[...]UF, showing women they don't have to give up being sexual beings to have power, and that being a sexual being is about a woman's own desires, not her potential attractiveness to a man.


And I also pretty much like the conversation going on in the comments.

Will Yun Lee

I remember watching Witchblade when I was younger, he was a ghost who appeared in most of the episodes. White woman's police partner who died and ended as her guide from beyond the grave. Yes, I have a good memory of that show. He was in Die Another Day, Elektra, Torque, Bionic Woman and many more though.

Anyway, as you can see, wasn't named One of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by People's Magazine for nothing, also, one of the Sexiest Men Alive.

He will be Iori Yagami in the upcoming King of Fighters film. Which is amazing, but let's not mention Kyo Fucking Kusanagi because my gastrointestinal problem will get worse. Yes, the whitewashing going on in that movie is puke-worthy.

Let's just watch the beauty that is Will Yun Lee. (Good God, you don't know how hard is to find a picture of this man smiling.)
