Ashley Greene, My Favorite Sparkle Vamp

Eclipse, the third movie in the ludicrously popular Twilight Saga just came out, and you know what that means: TWILIGHT FEVER. I hope you’re ready for this, because it’s going to continue for the rest of the summer, the rest of the saga, and - quite possibly - the rest of your life. There is one thing that irritates me about all of this Twilight talk though; as soon as a new movie comes out, it’s all K.Stew this and R.Pattz that. I mean, come on, people! There are other attractive young folks in these movies! Take Ashley Greene for example. She’s my favorite sparkle vamp! (Yes, for those uninitiated into the Twihard universe, the reason why vampires can’t go out in the sunlight isn’t because they will burst into flames and perish; no, it’s because their skin is so sparkly and they are so beautiful that mere mortals will cower before their attractiveness. Hence the term “sparkle vamps.” Take that, Nosferatu!)

The thing is, while Ashley - who plays psychic sparkle vamp Alice Cullen in the movies - is quite pretty on screen, she’s absolutely stunning on the red carpet sans her amber-colored contacts and pasty white pallor. Her hair, while cute in the films, is downright sexy in real life. I wonder if she uses a GHD straightener?

I know my GHD straightener is the first place I turn when I want to create a look like this. All you have to do is dry your hair, divide it into 1″ sections and run your straightener over each section until all of your hair is uniformly straight. Practice your smoldering gaze and coat yourself in body shimmer and you’re practically a Cullen yourself!
