Thank you so much for REAL Edward, Maria …… I want to scream this morning, I’m bubbling with frustration ….. your gif is perfect.

No need to be sorry Maria, I am right there with you *shakes head*.

Oh and can i say, the new banner is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eeeeeeeeek Edward what have they done to you????? No words, right there with you Maria. THANK YOU for the cleanse – there you are real gorgeous Edward!!

The banner is just brilliant isn’t it Vicky 😀 Thanks so much Jules *mwah*

He’s purple……….. wonder how long the publicity dept spent doing that……….

LOL @Cindy .. better than red with rage which is how I feel in the lead up to the fan event that wasn’t.

@Vicky – the banner is spectacular. See Summit – this is who you should have employed as your photoshop expert. There’s a few more up our sleeves too thanks to Jules *bighug*

Exactly, Jules is the person you want Summit – a talented person who KNOWS what she is doing. Whoever your current photoshop person is needs to give up & do something else cause they’ve got NO idea.

Red with rage *nods* so true Maria, so very true.

@Maria Really? Whats the story? can you email me?

Yep – and by fan event that wasn’t – I mean that it’s supposedly a “FAN” event yet “FANS” are being kept in the dark and aren’t really able to attend unless they win. And as @Vertigo pointed out – they get to take someone who might not be an actual fan oF Rob.

I’m not being bitter, I’m just annoyed that all of you, like us, who respect this man, aren’t being given the opportunity to actually hear what he is going to say at this event. It’s not about meeting him, it’s about showing him who his fans really are. I’m pretty sure, as I mentioned to the others, that Rob said if 1% of his Twilight fans followed him throughout his career he’d be happy, but Australia – giving 40 people (who might be Twihards) the opportunity to see him is HARDLY doing Rob any favours for the future.

Email on its way.

‘speechless’ – you have got it Maria!. Thanks for post.

Thanks @Bee Kaye 😀

Totally agree, Maria. It’s not about us, it’s much more about wanting Rob to know that he’s genuinely supported by his 1% here in Oz. (I just re-read the initial post that announced Rob was coming to Sydney ~ made me tear up, reading the excitement in our words. Way to crush enthusiasm, Hoyts D.)

Thank for keeping us updated, Maria. Knowing my own lack of patience re this non-event, I can only imagine your frustration. And Michelle, if just one birthday wish would be granted this year, we’ll all be hoping, somehow, it’s yours.

Sorry for the rant. Guess I’ll be doing tuckshop after all next Monday. *not funny, I know*

So well said Maria & I completely agree. It is so unfair that Rob doesn’t have the chance to see the genuine support he has here. The fans that are truly behind him & his career 100%. Vertigo’s point about the winner’s guest is so true. People who may not even support Rob are given the opportunity to go, how is that fair. A fan event where his true fans aren’t able to attend unless a ticket is won *shakes head* I still cannot get over how insane that is.

Thanks Sue, your kind words are so appreciated *hugs* So true what you say, we went from being on top of the world to such disappointment 🙁

I feel like Charlie … except eating all the chocolate in the world won’t gain anyone entrance to this event, but at least it might make it bearable.

First, the banner is amazing. I really really love it. Second, THAT is the real edward. None of this purple crap. Third, the fact that Rob won’t get to see fans that are truly supportive of him and his career is incredibly sad. Instead he’ll most likely will have an auditorium filled will edward lovers and their bffs.

Oh and Maria please do send that email about calling him rpattz *shudders* Wish we could see his face if they call him that. They truly have no idea.

Ok i just commented and it didn’t appear 🙁
In a nutshell it was Jules you’re AMAZING! Love LOVE this banner. Original Edward is the best, none of this purple crap and the fact that rob isn’t going to be in a room full of fans that support him and his career is really sad. Instead he’ll be with edward lovers and their bffs who think he’s ‘totally hot and stuff’.
And Maria please send that email about calling him *shudders* rpattz. Would love to see his face if they do call him that.

I can’t even with this fan non-event. I am still waiting for my return phone call from Hoyts. Maybe I shouldn’t have told them what i wanted to discuss, I may have had a better chance of them actually phoning me back!!!!!! The word that comes to mind for how this has all been handled is DISGRACEFUL!!!!!

Matter of fact, maybe i’ll try THEM again!!!!

@Sare original was in spam and I have posted since it needs to be repeated.

AND I have sent an email to the organisers of his “media interviews” (it’s not Hoyt’s D) and have advised them that they need to notify the interviewers and Lizzie Lovette that “Robert hates the moniker RPattz”. For the love of God let them do something right.

I’m sure I’ll be ignored, but at least I tried Rob, at least I tried to save you some irritation.

DISGRACEFUL is the perfect word Vicky – absolutely perfect.

*nods* to your Charlie comment Maria 🙁

YES re: that ridiculous name. Imagine calling him that, let alone to his face. I really hope they take notice of your email Maria. For heavens sake people – listen for ONCE.

Oh dear, I’m VERY slow…… just spent 10 mins wondering when it was that Bella’s dad (i.e.. Charlie) consumed copious amounts of chocolate!! haha. By the way, I tried it this morning….. it hasn’t helped. A walk didn’t help much either …. I think I need to hit something ~ HARD!!!

Hmm…..what about BLAH!!!?

Thanks Maria for the real Eddie,

And the new banner is amazing!

The banner is perfect!!! Purple Edward is sh…t. Thanks for the cleansing. Of course they bent Rob!!! He’s too tall anyway in every aspect, they can’t handle it. Time will tell what Rob is all about, which is GREAT.
As for that “fan non event”, I’m so sorry, on behalf of the real Rob fans…
Summit is trying to make the most bs out of this last episode of Twi-saga, only ending up “cheapening” the whole promo. I wish Rob could have a word on this… things would be completely different and we know that…
As for that RPATZ… it’s for 4 year olds… let alone disrespectful towards Rob. EVERYBODY knows he HATES it…. “Just call me by my name”… he said singing, so ROB it MUST be.
Have a nice week all of you girls and don’t be sad Rob knows we love HIM.

Thanks @Vicky O you are right – Rob knows. I’m going to be positive that at least we will see him from a distance. *Fist Pumps* 6 days to go .. and Rob hits our shores again for the second time in 17 months. Then he’s back again in Jan/Feb … life is good.

@Maria – Thank you for the real Edward. I was just doing a comparison the other day and it almost made me weep to see what they have done

@ Vicky O – That’s the spirit. Well said. We are getting Rob on our shores and we just have to make the best of what we have. And if that is Rob, even if he is hidden away, that is still better than no Rob at all

@Jules – Your banner is inspiring, as always.

Hmm, so I rambled on at some length this morning and I could have sworn it went through. Grrr – just wanted to say I am so sorry it’s such a frustrating time for you all!! Truly, Rob coming to your shores is a wonderful thing but for these events and lack of information to leave you all feeling like this it’s just so sad and frustrating!! 🙁 Hang in there all of you and I sincerely hope with all my heart that there is better news around the corner. I have been applauding all of your comments here too *hugs*

Thanks for the cleansing with orginal Edward there Maria – I don’t understand the orange/purple hues they’ve got going on….it’s like he’s been in a fight or up all night (and not in a good way). So strange. *sigh*

Thanks to everyone who commented on the new banner by the way – so glad you enjoy it and thanks girls for using it!! mwah

Lol, what everyone else said. @Jules you have such talent and you should TOTALLY be the one to do all Rob photo-shopping for Edward transformations 🙂 Is there a Jules-Breaking-Dawn-Eddie we need to be looking at instead of Summit’s? Maria thank you for the cleanse. Normally a Twi-lover but this time even I am having a hard time getting at all excited about it. I’m not sure what all the purple is about either. They’ve not done any of the actors any justice – it’s got worse & worse every movie – maybe they’re trying to go “darker” as the kids grow up but it doesn’t work. He’s supposed to be 17 forever yes, not looking like an old man hangover gone wrong? No, wait, maybe he’s been up all night with the baby?! Sleep-deprived Daddy? (except she sleeps well – that blows that theory!)
