[info]ilya: I AM SO BLOODY HORRIFIED RIGHT NOW. I CANNOT EVEN COME UP WITH A SUBJECT LINE...

Source: http://pillowbiters.blogspot.com/2009/05/peter-kellan-and-edi-play-around-with.html

A mature Twi-Mom and Facebook friend of mine, Jennifer, had the *fabulous* idea of transforming *Pocket* Edward into Vibrating Edward (note black battery pack). She brought him to the Twi-Con L.A. event.

Jennifer was one of five chicks to win lunch with Peter Facinelli. While the lunch date was a *private* affair, here's the overview of her "Vibrating Edward" experience:


As for Vibrating Pocket Edward, I was the first of my entourage of girlfriends to ask for autographs, and being the sales person that I am, I came in w/my great opener: "Will you sign my Vibrating Pocket Edward?" Edi Gathegi was quite speechless and made a big show of putting anti-bacterial on, at which point Kellan Lutz asked if he was putting on lube.

I was so nervous, I was probably blushing like Bella too. Edward was buzzing quite powerfully the entire time, and all the actors played around w/him and asked how we came up w/the idea. This was a rudimentary design, though, so I promised he would be more "user-friendly" by TwiCon SF.

I didn't show Edward off to Peter till the autograph session, and he looked at me like he was thinking "You seemed normal at lunch, and you show up w/a vibrating doll?" If anyone brings up this story to these guys, they'll remember for sure. We stopped the line cold during the autograph signing w/all the yells and whoops, even security came over to touch Edward.

------------------------------------------

I fucking give up on humanity.  I am so horrified.  MORTIFIED.  :((((((((( 

Oh bloody hell...this sure beats that care package of sex toys gifted to one of the Smallville Boys wank a while ago...

What person says " Hey guys, I'm gonna bring me a modified doll/sex toy to a con, and show it to celebrities so they can give me an autograph, won't that be cool?" and no one says "WTF are you thinking? NO. Leave the thing at home, or at least in your room."

Seriously?



Dammit.
Fucking fantards.

As a long time con goer, I get wanting to do something different so the actor will remember you/the encounter. I do. But there are other ways to go about it. Use a photo from something else the actor did, ask him about his other projects, something other then having him sign a sex toy. In other words show him you are a fan of him - and not just of the character. (And that you really do get that he is NOT his character)

There's not enough hand sanitizer in the world to make me sign someone's prized fandom sex toy. Uh, bravo?

Oh Dear God. WTF? If you absolutely must have someone sign something like that, DON'T FUCKING TELL THEM IT'S A VIBERATOR! And for God's sake, make sure it's clean!

The sad thing is that, like everyone else, I'm not surprised by this.

Disgusted, yes. Squicked, certainly. Embarrassed, of course. But shocked? The only thing that surprises me is that this hasn't happened sooner. And to RPattz himself.

I also love the fact that the blog that's from is titled "Pillow Biters."

That is so wrong on so many levels.
FIrst of all... making a facsimile of a person into a vibrator is just...0-o
Secondly, discussing sex toys etc with complete strangers is so awkward and creepy...
I could go on and on... but won't

This is so bad, no one's even gotten around to the fact that the website is called pillowbiters.blogspot.com. *shudder*

From a purely practical standpoint, wouldn't she be unable to use it now without ruining the autographs? I focus on this to avoid dying of secondhand embarrassment.

Sweet fucking hell. Everyday someone makes me lose a little more faith in humanity. The only upside I can see is that now he's got a relatively high benchmark to measure future crazy against and a story to horrify fellow actors:

"She asked you to bite her kid? Seriously man, that's nothing. This crazy woman once asked me to sign her home-modified vibrating love doll."

This is not going to end well.
