The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Give the gift of life, er, death, er, living dead.

11.20.09.

The date is known by millions of girls, tweens, young women, women - and their grandmothers. And a few guys. And their girlfriends. And their grandmothers.

For next Friday is the opening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the sequel to the smash hit movie Twilight, starring Robert Pattinson (as vampire Edward Cullen) and Kristen Stewart (as his human love, Bella Swan).

I've not much to say about Twilight because so much has already been said, and, really, what could I contribute to the global conversation?

But I will share this anecdote:

Last November, a friend of mine in Los Angeles took her 14-year-old daughter to see Twilight on opening weekend. She said that the moment the opening credits started on the screen, the sold-out audience -- of teen-age girls and their mothers -- started screaming. The screaming lasted, non-stop, for the entire two hours. She said she didn't really understand a lot of what happened in the movie - because she couldn't hear any of the dialogue!

Why don't you round out your daughter's (or your BFF's) Twilight: New Moon experience next week with a Lottay.com gift?

Give her money toward movie tickets for opening weekend: The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Or how about money toward the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack? Or toward a Team Edward t-shirt?

We took the liberty of looking around Lottay.com to see who's Twilight'ing, and we think you all should donate to this person's Twilight wish!
