A Day To Myself??? NOOOO!

TwiPeople's Sexiest Ward Alive, April/May Double Issue

So some of you may have noticed April came and went without any TwiPeople cover. One or two of my followers actually inquired about it (thank you!). Allow me to explain what happened. You see, the graphics dept of TwiPeople was off galavanting in NYC in April. The head of the dept, Lisa, put in a request for this to be a 'business trip' to make new contacts and drum up new business (aka followers) for this venture, but instead she got a little distracted and seduced by the bright lights of the big city and all the pretty she encountered up close and personal...


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
 then there was this little diversion


Funny, but I don't see any new followers named 'Naked Cowboy' listed. And if you think the  company is going to honor 'Naked Cowboy Tip' on your trip's expense report you are mistaken!!!

You can read more about 17ForeverLisa's NYC trip....at some point on her blog I'm sure. But until then, you'll notice that this entire post is signature, classic Lisa (including b/w pics, shout-outs, and being a bit on the loquacious side ).

During early board meetings we had always discussed some variation in story genres and surprises in this year-long TwiPeople Covers project, so you'll see this April/May Double Issue is a little different than our previous months and is a direct result of giving the graphics dept Carte Blanche on shining the spotlight on a couple of stories she has grown very attached to! So without further adieu, I'm turning everything over to 17ForeverLisa! Enjoy!



by Conversed (aka Kate)
Summary: Edward and Masen Cullen look identical, but mistake them at your peril. Watch as their carefully constructed world falls apart when they meet the new girl in town. There's slash-lite, het-smut and Jasper having shower sex with y'all. Mature themes


(Holy Hale, weren't expecting that now were you?)

Summary: TWINNED SEQUEL: AH M/M. "Some say that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Y'all know that distance can suck my dick." Jasper, Edward and seventeen men. There might be barn-sex. BE WARNED.

First of all, a big thanks to kiTT for allowing me the freedom to work on this special double issue of TwiPeople. Most of you know how I feel about Fifty; so when I say these boys own me as much as Fifty does, that's saying a lot.

I first heard about Twinned when Jeanette from RobMusement emailed me to say she was going to be interviewing the author, Conversed, and hosting a read along that she hoped I’d participate in. So thank you, Jeanette, from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to Conversed's world and for starting me on this journey.

(Author-made banner)

Excerpt from “Twinned: Meet the Author” post at Robmusement Blog


"Twinned is a story about how early trauma, when left untreated, can carry on over into adulthood, and the impact this can have on relationships.

I take a small section of a sad childhood and spin it forwards over 12 years to reveal how sometimes we all need a little help from our friends.

Ultimately, the themes that I started with of isolation, friendship, and hope play right through to the end, and beyond.

It’s a story that has given me so much pleasure to write."

(Read Jeanette's entire interview with the author here.)

* * * * *

I understand that slash is not for everyone. Trust me, I never thought it would be for me either, but I have found myself repeating Conversed’s mantra more than once...love is love. Just as MotU is not all about the RRoP, these stories are not all about boy/boy action.

Twinned is complicated, multi-layered, and full of angst. That's right--angst. Y'all know angst can suck my… (Sorry, was channeling Jasper there for a minute.) I'm not a big fan of angst. It's also told in Jasper's POV. Okay. Angst AND a story not told from Edward's and/or Bella’s POV? I found myself wondering if I'd be able to make good on my promise to Jeanette and do the read along. I did though and found myself getting emotionally attached to the characters...characters with major issues...issues I wanted/needed to see resolved. By the end of the story, I was just as much in love with Jasper as his very own Cullen was, even though neither one of them knew it yet.

Lucky for me/us, Jasper had more to say and a sequel was born. I had forgotten until I went back to look at the interview again that the original working title was The Washington State Cowboy. Obviously, I'm a little partial to the final title...Seventeen Men. It was meant to be.

The back story that is Twinned is so important to appreciating the raw beauty that is Seventeen Men. I have laughed, cried, felt like doin’ some Jasper-style pukin’, done a whole lot of Cullen-style leanin’, and had my breath taken away by moments that shine brighter than the stars in the Texas sky.

Conversed is from the UK, but she has given Jasper a voice that is pure Texan. He is a storyteller, because she is a storyteller. She breathes life into him, and I cannot get enough. Where Jasper is full of words, his dollface (Edward) says more with looks and body language...a form of communication that up until Jasper came into his life only his twin understood. But even then, Masen was only really getting half of the story. When Masen finds love along the way, Edward finds himself wondering who he’ll be without his brother (thus the cover's quote). They were always two halves of a whole. Seventeen Men is almost over and Conversed has us in knots; but I have Hope that Jasper has the answer to Edward’s question…that he will be the other half that makes him whole.

And just in case you're wondering, even though both stories are told from Jasper's POV, you will absolutely love Edward. He always has and always will have my heart. Watching his transformation from where he was as a little boy to where he is now will be something I will never, ever forget. Conversed has even given us outtakes along the way, including letters from Edward to Jasper which are priceless.

Please check out Conversed’s author bio and other stories here. Conversed is the only one who has been able to get me out of my J&E bubble. If you love the drabble format, or aren’t sure what it is, you have to check out "Punk and Perv’s Excellent Adventure" that she co-wrote with TruceOver, in addition to the drabble set that starts with Age Gaps. They are quick reads and there’s more fun to come, so make sure you have her and her collab accounts on author alert.

****Through the course of reading these stories, I have bonded with some amazing people and want to thank them publicly.*****

ChefJayla, you have been there since day one. We’ve kept each other from drowning in that farm pond more than once. Your theories always make me rethink my reactions to updates. PS: I’m still jealous as hell that you got an email from Jasper Lee ;)

BellaTesoro, you read these stories solely because you knew I loved these boys and wanted to know what it was that put them on the same level as Fifty for me. Your emails and reviews are smart, thought-provoking, and heartfelt. It’s been amazing having you to discuss this with.

UNF4Rob, (aka Unfie) I’ll never forget the day you tweeted your epic banner for Seventeen Men. I tweeted you about how blown away I was by it, and we’ve been tweeting ever since.


Turns out Unfie’s also the incredible beta for Seventeen Men. You can find all of her graphic designs on her blog My Robsession. She’s also a co-contributor on the blog Robert Pattinson U.S., a co-host of ff contests, and most recently helped coordinate the highly successful Fandom for Tsunami fundraiser.

Bbebar, I don’t know which came first…your story or your connection with Unfie. Either way, I’m happy I found you. I encourage everyone to read her beautiful short story Together We Fly.

While tweeting one day, I told Unfie and Bbebar that they needed to write a story together. I was thrilled to be asked recently to pre-read their first collaboration, Awake Our Soul, published in the addictive drabble format. I couldn’t be prouder of them. That story is complete now, but they are in the process of continuing it, so be sure to put them and their collab account on author alert too.

Kate, you’ve put up with my stalker fangirl ways and my emotional tweets and messages about my  your our boys. You’ve let me into your thought process about your writing. You’ve even let me do some all-important research ;) I am proud to now call you a friend and look forward to working with you in the near future. You asked me the other day if I liked the angst just a little bit, and I had to admit that I did. You have taught me that getting through the pain makes the pleasure more meaningful. You make me feel for these characters. You make them real. And as with real life, there’s not always a happy ending…but there is joy in the journey…and there is Hope…there is always Hope. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself through your writing. <3

I have to give props to Lost Imortal, whose Jazzward manip and photo enhancement I used on the Seventeen Men TwiPeople cover. I’m a huge fan of her work on tumbler (here) and YouTube (here).

Finally, thanks to any/all of you who are still reading this wordy post. Obviously, I’m passionate about this subject. I’ll leave you with a special twitter avi I made awhile back so that when you see me using it, you’ll know why. If you’re a fan, you are more than welcome to use it.



Love is love...

Place yer Bets!!!!

I've been a complete fail at blogging lately. Real life. Spring fever. Ya know...S-T-U-F-F.
I'm not one to normally report on what I do when I'm not blogging or how I spend my weekends. I guess because they are usually so exciting that I just don't want to rub it in. I mean do you think you can handle me chatting about what a good deal I got at the grocery story on turkey burgers or how trips to the park always end in me 'watching' someone else's kid while they are on their phone and not paying any attention. Then there is the constant characters and singing I perform. Sometimes my life is like the The Gleeful Sound of Music in the Mickey Mouse Club and I'm just trying to sneak in Twilight and Rob wherever I can. 

So here's something a little different I did last weekend that I thought I would share because only you guys would truly appreciate how I chose to participate in this special event. In honor of the Preakness (that's the second big horse race in the Triple Crown), I went to the horse races!! Good salt of the earth people there and plenty of weirdos! It's a big business with a lot of people involved: owners, jockies, trainers, EMT personnel, some guy selling photocopies of 'his' picks (WTF I could do that) who gives you attitude when you tell him you aren't interested....but the horses are beautiful, and I love seeing them up close.

And I did go see the horses in the winner circle up close, but make no mistake about it, for most of the time, I'm up in the restaurant drinking my mint julip watching through glass windows.

I used to have a very scientific way of losing at the horse track, but now I have new inspiration in my life. Try to follow me here.

Here were my picks:

Race # 1 
Victorious Leader (as in Victoria, btw the horse got hurt)

aside:  if you read the word 'Victorious' and you
start humming a song like I did [refer to my life above], it might be
this one. Wrong word,
but it's always a good time for
Duran Duran.


Race # 2 
August Osage 
(Are you cringing just a bit at the thought of August and horses?)

Race # 3 
 Digger  (as in Diggory)
Mr. Dr. Professor (Masen / Emerson)

Race # 4
  Cooper River
(Shout out to PFach!)

Race # 5
  Mind Boggling
(how our favorite vamp can read minds)

Race # 6
  Seattle Mission
(We've been tracking the situation for a while now)

Race # 7 
 Vision of Magic
(Alice should have seen that this horse would scratch)
Cold Shot
(Edward gives one from the sparkly peen and boom, Renesme)

Race # 8
  Moon ala Mode
(As in New Moon with Edward and ice cream on top)

Race # 9 
 not applicable

Race # 10
 Mr. No SpeedLimit
(I drive like a Culllen)


So a few of my picks placed but I didn't win any big time money. I think from now on when it comes to associating Rob and jockies, I'm just going to stick be thinking along these lines.







Can't tell exactly what brand he is wearing, huh? Well, I'm betting on these. And I'm hoping during Cosmopolis I'll be saying, "And they're off!!!"








Speaking of horses, our next TwiPeople cover is coming up very shortly and there will be a horse tie-in, but otherwise, I'm not giving any more away!!!

Here's hoping you'll come back and see for yourself!

Feel free to leave a 'bet' in the comments on who you think the cover Ward will be!

Party-H00rty for Bleriana's Birthday!

I  usually run a respectable blog, right? I try to maintain some decency in talking about our favorite Twilightguys, right? Right???? Well for one blog post only, in honor of our favorite Pervy Princess, all bets are off and I'm nothing but a vehicle to celebrating Cold Shower Style. Bloggy Business is open for all types of perving and sexual innuendo of the highest degree PLUS all things #HolyHardTool and #p33ntastic because today we celebrate Bleriana's Birthday.


*Makes sign of the p33n*
Dear Rob, Forgive me, for I have perved with the #VPP h00rs, but it was for my tweetie pie, Bleriana.

PS: Here's a picture of the NYC theater where #WFE premiered, taken while Steph and I were freezing our asses out in the rain--but without you, she and I may NEVER have gotten to know each other.


from the Twins

The best gifts are the kind you don't expect, when you're not even looking and they come out of nowhere and surprise you.  That's what happened with me when I started my online perving of HHH.  I came online strictly to look at pictures and find out as much as I can about this beautiful man that I couldn't stop thinking about.  In doing that I found so many different blogs and sites devoted to him and I thought that was gift enough.  One in particular was The Cold Shower, when I stumbled upon it I knew it was something I'd be visiting daily and I remember thinking this Bleriana is a perv, I LOVE IT!!!!  Day after day I was there, reading, laughing hysterically and usually drooling, but then something started happening.  You start to see the same names over and over and start talking to people from all over the world and you think, wow, this is pretty cool.  I'm not sure how or when it happened but it changed, it went from these ladies are pretty cool to these ladies are my FRIENDS, and close friends at that.  We talk every single day, not a day goes by that we don't have at least a little bit of contact, we laugh, we perv hard, we talk RL and unfortunately we have mourned and cried together, I don't know about anyone else but to me that is true friendship!!!  I've said this before and on this special day I need to say it again, Bleriana, you brought us all together and there is no gift more special then that.  Our friendship is something that caught me by surprise and its something I am so thankful for every single day!!!  Happy Birthday my Baby B, you are such a beautiful person inside and out and you deserve every happiness you could ever dream of!!!  I love you more than I can express in words and I am so lucky and honored to call you a friend!!!! Stephanie and Shay

Dear Bleriana,
You know I love you like a daughter and feel very protective of you ;) I have given you my heart and offered you my home. Both will always be there for you. You have given us a place at TCS to play, drool, laugh, and even cry. You've managed to pull together a group of h00rs who I am proud to call my friends. So it's nice to give back today and celebrate YOU. Happy birthday sweet baby girl. Have fun. Be safe. XOXO Love, Lisa
