Twilight Fans Flock For Vampire Fangs
Twilight fans are sinking their teeth into vampire culture by paying cosmetic surgeons to give them fangs.
In most cases the young fans are willing to spend around $200 (about £132) of their - or their parents’ - money on temporary vampire veneers.
Taylor Wilkins, 16, had the sharp fangs installed at the Houston office of Floss Dental.
"I'm Team Edward," Taylor said, "and he has them, so ..."
For those unfamiliar with the teen-targeted Twilight series of books and films, Team Edward backs the vampire played by Robert Pattinson and Team Jacob favours Taylor Lautner's werewolf character.
In the clinic Dr Clint Herzog applied a tooth-coloured resin to Taylor's canines then shaped the composite into gently-sloped fangs.
"It's similar to the material that we use to bond braces on the teeth," Dr Herzog explains.
"So it can be put on and taken off very easily with no damage to the teeth."
The dentist, who operates five offices in Texas, says vampire veneers are in demand, especially in suburbia.
"In the areas where we have a lot of people that follow Twilight, yeah, we get a lot of calls."
After a 15-minute procedure, Taylor sported a subtle but distinctive set of fangs.
"I was really excited to get them," she said. "It didn't hurt at all."
But the true test was to come later, when her mother delivered her judgement
"I almost didn't notice that she had it done," said Jamie Wilkins, "until she really smiled and then they were noticeable."
Sadly for Taylor, her mum was quick to stress that her vampire life will be short-lived and the fangs would be coming off before school starts.

Miley Cyrus Loves Edward Cullen
In June of 2009, in ‘Mmm Mag”, Miley Cyrus seemed to be all gung-ho for vampires. She said that “New Moon” was on her must-have list and she said she loved Edward Cullen.
Fast forward to later in the year, Miley talked to Nikolina from Q92FM in Cleveland, Ohio. She sang a completely different tune!
Since, fans of the “Twilight” franchise have got everyone making a choice between Team Edward or Team Jacob. But then, Miley wasn’t having any of it. Why? Because she said it’s a cult!
E-Online reports:
“I’ve never seen it and nor will I ever,” she tells Ohio’s Q92-FM backstage at a concert. “It’s a cult. I don’t believe in it.”
And she wishes you all would choose between Team Miley and Team Hannah Montana rather than worry about Team Edward and Team Jacob. Or at least buy more of her T-shirts.
“I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires. I don’t like any of the stuff. I don’t like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t like it. I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it.”
It seems odd to me that she would change her mind between June and November of 2009. Weird.
