Terminal Bachelor, Famous Ladies Man.

BILLY BURKE!!!

‘ello poppets! I’m just stopping in to make a quick “announcement” or more to inform you of some great news!

We all know (or you should) my love for Billy Burke. He’s a great actor, cool person – he is who he is, love him or hate him – and his personality and style is pretty fucking amazing. I personally love it… besides the point though!

He’s always been a huge fan of music throughout his life, and fully intended on having a dual career of being an actor and a musician. It didn’t turn out that way… (though, when does life turn out how we want it?)

I’m happy to say that Billy Burke has just announced his first LP! I am so super excited and can’t wait to hear it! One of his biggest inspirations was TOM WAITS!  Tom Waits is a fantastic artist who I happen to love myself, and just from that little piece of information, I have a feeling I am going to love Billy Burke’s music!

Go to his website,  http://www.billyburke.net/, leave a comment – show him some love and support – and sign up to get a free first look!

I’m so excited for this! That is all for now poppets… have a good day!

CONTEST's to Mention:

Bella/Jasper… Bella/Peter… Bella/Emmett… Bella/Carlisle… Bella/Garrett… Bella/ Paul...

We welcome you to the Alternate-Shipper Challenge!

Hosted by: BBSapphire24 chele681 NoahEvansMom Kristi_28 oscar519

What type of challenge are we asking, you wonder? We want you to step out of SM’s shoes for just a moment here, and bring your favorite character with you. Now let’s mix things up. We want something different, non-canon, straight off of the “What the fuck? No you didn’t.” pairing list!

Challenge yourself to do something different. Do you think Carlisle and Aro would make a good couple? Or is Aro too controlling, maybe Aro taking control isn’t such a bad thing. :wink, wink: Is Charlie enough man to satisfy Rosalie? Maybe she can bring the animal out in him.

UPDATES:

Promises by einfach_mich
Jasper is heartbroken, when his friend, Peter begins to act strange. Will the secret that Peter's hiding destroy their friendship or could it mean a new future that they never imagine was possible? AU Entry for the "For the love of Jasper contest." ~ This was a new twist on Jasper, Bella and Peter. I really liked it. It was new and fresh, and kinda surprising. I wasn't expecting the pairings and how they ended up. It was well written and left me wanting more at the end. GO!

Giddy Up by SweetDulcinea
Bella comes home to a surprise: Jasper in cowboy attire...sort of. A little role play ensues, the hat stays on, and Bella learns to ride. Jasper/Bella AH ~ Sweets has seriously been owning me lately! This was a tasty little surprise you weren't expecting! Mmm. Jasper and Bella's banter and "playtime" is the perfect mixture sexy and fun. I know I'm looking for my smokin cowboy, are you?

Prince of Crimson Tides by SweetDulcinea
Fun With Your Clothes On contest - They've been friends since grade school, but an annual reunion, a beach vacation & an impending move force Bella & Peter to reassess the nature of their relationship. Is love on the horizon or is it just a fling? AH ~ This was fan-fucking-tastic! A building relationship between Bella and Peter, surrounded by their best friends? This was very well written, had me cracking up, and then... DAMN, Peter and Bella had some fun with their clothes on!! *pats ass* Go on... read!

Just One Night by Calikisses
What starts out as a birthday celebration with friends turns into something completely unexpected when a good girl meets a fraternity president - who makes good girls go bad. For FGB winners BBSapphire24 and iciripiciri. AH. ~ Olivia and I have gotten far more than we ever expected with our continuation of Just One Night. Anna has done an amazing job, her characters are fantastic.. (I want me a Mr. President) and they are funny, and sexy. Every update she sends us, I find myself wrapped up in it. GO read it!

Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon

Bella Swan is drafted in to interview the reclusive enigmatic Edward Cullen, multi-millionaire CEO of his company. It's an encounter that will change her life irrevocably, leading her to dark realms of desire. M AH ~ This story continues to slay me. Even without the smut, this story continues to excite me! I love hearing about what Bella and Edward get up to next! Bella recently had a visit with Dr Banner and she got a promotion since, James got the heave ho! You don't mess with fifty. Especially when he owns your ass! Mwahahah!

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan by hunterhunting

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan Regarding the Inferior Intellect of Hockey Players: Through incessant stalking and persistence, can Edward wear down Bella's resistence and teach her to embrace her inner puck bunny? A ridiculous love story. AH/OCC ~ Holy finger fucking on a pool table batman! Never have I felt intense hotness like this! Hockeyward is my new obsession! I want to eat, sleep and drink with him. However I know I'm going to have to get in line, as he has already become very popular with the ladies of the fandom! Snatch him up before Bella does! :P


Beautiful, Dirty, Rich by Kikiblue 
One Bet. One Week. No Rules. Bella bets Edwards that after a week of some raw sexcapades he wont want to stop. He bets otherwise. ~ nom nom nom!! I squeel a lot and jump up and down whenever I see this in my inbox! I even put up with twilighted's painful colour scheme! (yes, thank you. I'm well aware that you can change it.) Its just fucking awesome! I want to hug it! And kiki for creating it! Only a few chapters left now and I can't wait to see how this bad boy turns out!

University of Edward Masen by SebastienRobichaud
Edward Masen is the selfish and brooding university professor; Bella Swan is his shy, but determined graduate student. Appearances can be deceiving. Have their paths crossed before? Rated M for good reason, all human, canon pairings, AU, OOC, ExB

The Reborn by Alsper

Mary died when Jasper was a kid, so who is Alice and why is he so drawn to her? AH/AU Rated M for language, adult themes, and sexual content. ~ This is the last of the Reborn!! :( Sadness! I have yet to find time to read it but I can't wait to find out how it ends for these two! Another fic from Alsper is over, but never fear another one is on the way soon! Go to their blog to find out more!! Link is on our affiliates page!!

The Training by tara sue me

Sequel to The Submissive and The Dominant. Edward and Bella embark on their new relationship, but who’s training whom? EPOV and BPOV. AU/AH. D/s.

Twice In A Lifetime by foryouareloved

Rosalie told Bella that she never wanted Edward as anything more than a brother - but what if that was a lie? A few sprinkles of moderate language, as love and jealousy tend to get the tongue flowing. ~ ok so I'm only a couple of chapters into this, but I can't believe it has so little reviews!! Its so well written and captivating. A brilliant portrayal of Rosalie. An excellent alternative look into Edward and Rosalie's past. What if they have secrets? Its not like Alice can see the past as well as the future. I think everyone needs to read this, even if you are not normally a fan of Edward and Rosalie. READ AND REVIEW!!

If you start reading any of these stories because of our recommendation, then please just do us a small favour and let them know where you heard about their fabulous story!


As you can see, the blog is undergoing a make over; it will be constantly changing, until the bitch is happy with it! Which at this point is seeming like never!
So check out what's new and drop us some feed back!


Many thanks, and we hope you enjoyed tonight's post!

Rose and Bella.

"She's one dusty bird! Pure filth!"

Hello Darlings, my sincerest apologies, life has just been fucking with us recently! We've missed you!!

So I’ve purchased Dread, Jackson Rathbone’s newly released movie. Finally got a chance to sit down and watch this movie, and wow. I don't want to give any spoilers away to anyone who hasn't seen it yet but it was amazing! You should be warned that it is pretty gory and shows everything, so if you're not into that kind of stuff, then this might not be the movie for you. Jackson did an amazing job in this movie, his character was funny, laid back, and just generally a really great guy who truly cared about people. Unfortunately he happened to meet one crazy fucking dude. As the story unfolds you will find yourself sitting on the edge of your chair (eventually covering your eyes) with your mouth gaping. That's pretty much how I sat through this movie. I loved it, Dread was a great purchase and I definitely plan on watching it again!

There’s a contest that we’d like to mention, We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Coven, hosted by Altered Lions and Sacrificial Lambs – aka IdreamofEddy, JaspersBella, JaspersDestiny,Missmaj, and Zaytyll.

What's it about I hear you ask... Well, we shall let them explain that to you:


Our blog is dedicated to exploring the altered universe and men of twilight.
Each month on our blog we do a different "Character Study". We do our best to recommend fics that feature this characters in a way that we like. This doesn't mean that they have to be part of the main pairing, but rather that we liked the portrayal of that character. So, we're hosting this contest based on exploring those wonderful, dirty, psychotic, bloodthirsty, tough, beautiful, larger than life, horny, Godly in their own ways, nomadic men. the recent explosion of nomad-related fics out there has been phenomenal, and we want more.
June will be nomad month. Why? Because some of them are just beyond worthy and we need to pimp these fuckers out. To help us find some quality fics on these sexy vamps, we are hosting this contest. We know there are some great stories to be told about these guys, so let's have 'em.


Sounds like a great contest! Nomadic Vampires running around, maybe some hot lemons? You can count this girl in! Go check out the rules and information!

Updates:
Fucking loads of updates, or there would be... but AW is the productive one and not me, so many JxB updates and just a few of my favs.
However, do not feel you are not valued, if we usually have your story included into our updates and its not there this time, I promise it will be in the next post!

Cotton Candy by SorceressCirce - JxB. Summary: The summer they turned thirteen was a turning point in Jasper and Bella's friendship. Best friends their whole lives, their feelings grow and change against the backdrop of a Ferris wheel and sweet cotton candy. My contribution to TwiFans for Haiti. AH ~ This is such a precious story, down to the core. It's not vulgar or graphic, just innocence and love. SorceressCirce creates these moments that are so fitting for the characters and the moments it's unbelievable. I was drawn back to that time in my life, considering the moments I had that could relate. It was beautiful... nothing I would normally read but so glad I did!

Somersault by AHizelm - JxB. Summary: Jasper has kept his true feelings for Bella secret for months. What happens when the perfect words you've written in your head can finally be said aloud to the woman who inspired them? A Fandom Gives Back fic for AccioBourbon. Twilight25 extension. ~ Wow. AHizelm never fails with the intense Jasper/Bella stories. I've never gotten what I expected in her stories and this one is included. You think you know how things will go but then she pulls the rug out and does something completely different. She creates this bond between Jasper and Bella almost instantly (there is time people - they didn't meet and BAM! They are in love. K? good.) and instead of rushing on that bond, they build on it... making it stronger. Its absolutely fabulous writing and you need to check this out!

Get Me To You by Chicklette - JxB. Summary: Nominated for an Indie. Pet names and Pop Tarts. Sunday mornings with Etta and Ella. Cibola. Candymouth. You finally realize the truth. What if it's too late? M for drinking, drug use, sex and effing language. ExBxJxAxEm/POV, AH, OOC. ~ wow. The Epilogue to this story was amazing. It wasn't a wrapped epilogue with a little bow on it, everything neatly tucked away... it was the perfect ending for these characters. Nothing resolved out of thin air, no one is perfect and she expanded on the moments she created earlier in the story. It was brilliant, and adorable. ::swoon::

Dodgeball by tiffaninichole - JxB. Summary: RUNNER-UP in the Anti-V Day Contest! Bella & Jasper are enemies who are constantly pranking and insulting each other, determined to have the last laugh. With the championship looming and sexual tensions building, who will be the first to crumble? ~ This story started with having me laugh my ass off before things got hot and ended with me laughing yet again. It's not the usual angst I read but wow, this was good. Bella are enemies and their shenanigans against each other are hilarious, yet they are also masking something of two very proud people! UNF. Go and check it out!

South of The Border by SweetDulcinea - JxB. Summary: This is an outtake from the story, Toxic. In the last chapter they went on vacation for Spring Break, this is what happens! Written for the Friday Free For All. ~ Sweets never fails to deliver, ever. This is an outtake from her Peter/Bella story, Toxic and I was SO excited to see this. In one of the last chapters of Toxic she left us with her characters coming home from Spring Break... I wanted Spring Break and what happened. She delivered. It was voyeuristic and so sexy. It was kept classy without loosing the lust or desire. It was unbelievably written and damn, I want to go on Spring Break with Peter and Jasper, js.

Taking A Walk On The Wild Side by Pretty_Face27 - JxB. Summary: Bella has always behaved in a certain way to please her cop father and her ex fiancée. After her life starts to fall apart she explores a world far outside of her comfort zone in search of danger. Is she about to get more than she bargained for? JxB, AH. ~ Where do I begin? PrettyFace27 (our own British Bitch) has written a one-shot that will intrigue you, turn you on, having you begging for more and then asking a million and one questions. This was so great. Her badass Jasper was captivating and I wanted to know more about him, why he was the way he was and all of that. Bella was sick and tired and while the author had her cliches hidden in there, she added her own twist to them that develops the characters and who they are and makes it her own! I loved this. Peter was quite delicious himself... I want me some of him. What do YOU think?

Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon - ExB. Sumamry: Bella Swan is drafted in to interview the reclusive enigmatic Edward Cullen, multi-millionaire CEO of his company. It's an encounter that will change her life irrevocably, leading her to dark realms of desire. M AH ~ This story is great. I caught up on it today and its got me hooked again! I fucking love it! Smutty, sexy, intense, exciting and adventurous.

Misapprehension of Bella Swan by hunterhunting - ExB. Summary: The Misapprehension of Bella Swan Regarding the Inferior Intellect of Hockey Players: Through incessant stalking and persistence, can Edward wear down Bella's resistence and teach her to embrace her inner puck bunny? A ridiculous love story. AH/OCC ~ I can honestly say that I think hunterhunting might just well be my favourite author! Fucking love this story hard!

Demons and Sinners by Alsper - AxJ. Summary: Everyone has a demon that makes you sin. Can Alice escape the violence to find her white rabbit? Will Jasper see through the pain for his true salvation? AH/AU Not intended for the weak hearted. Rated M for Sex, Drugs and Violence ~ Its hard when a fic that you love and have been with from the beginning, ends. I can't even imagine the feeling the author must feel. When I got the email in my inbos alerting me to the final chapter of DaS I was hesistant to even read it. I didn't want it to be over, but then again I was desperate to find out what happens next for the characters that's I have fallen in love with. All credit of these wonderful characters goes to Robs and K, I am proud to say, two very good friends of mine. Their writing is fantastic, full of humour, imagination, emotional intensity and lets not forget the smutty goodness! :D SO anyway, Thank you Alsper for this wonderful fic, it has gained a position in my fic hall of fame, even if it is Jalice ;), and I hope it will become one of your favourites too.

So thank you for your patients! We appreciate every single one of you!

The promised podcast will be coming very very soon! It has been recorded just needs some final touches! And for us to work out how to turn it into a podcast :P AW can take all the credit for that ingenuity!

Just another quick announcement before we bugger off again, Voting has OPENED for the VERY SEXY UN-BIRTHDAY CONTEST!! Link is in the side bar, so hop on over there, read through some of the fantastic entries that we have had sent in and then vote for your two favourites! Thanks guys!

It's fucking fantastic to be posting again and we hope you like the new look!

Until next time my darlings,

Your Rose and Bella ♥
