Have you ever lain in bed, looked around your bedroom and thought, “You know what this room needs? A shadowy male stalker lurking in the corner.” Well, look no further! It appears that last year’s Twilight movie has sparked the creation of a life-sized decal portraying Edward Cullen’s silhouette and the accompanying phrase “Be safe.” The figure, which retails at $60 US, stands 6′2″ tall and can be applied to any wall in your home. The decal is intended to help you recreate the relationship between vampire Edward Cullen and teenage protagonist Bella Swan.
Okay, so am I the only one who finds this just a little bit creepy? In all honesty, if I awoke in the middle of the night and saw a male shadow lurking in my room, I’d be terrified. I also can’t help but be put off by the phrase “Be safe.” Like, ewww! It not only insinuates that women need male protection but also plays into the twisted notion that stalkers and overly-protective boyfriends/husbands/partners are really only trying to take care of their women.
I wonder if Vinyl Fruit, creators of the Edward Cullen decal, also make a restraining order decal. That’s really what I’d want in a situation like this.

Hahaha. Restraining order decal. I actually laughed out loud. You know, I could probably rustle something up for you.
Okay, as someone who actually HAS woken up with a REAL shadowy figure hovering over her bed, I just have to say that is SO WRONG! So creepy! So nightmare-inducing.
But sadly, if my Twilight-obsessed daughters see this, they’ll probably want one. Sigh.
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of! At first I thought it was a joke, making fun of the stalker-like relationship he has with Bella.
You know, if you want to avoid the whole peeling squash issue which I agree is a big pain in the butt, just roast it! You do have to cut it in half and remove the seeds but put it face down on some parchment paper and roast at 400F for like 40 minutes or so and the flesh comes out perfectly and you can just throw it into the soup. That soup sounds FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing your harvest inspiration with us!
