Texas Teens Go From Team Jacob To Team Edward

July 8th, 2010 by Mike

Well it looks like the teenagers of Texas are at it again!  You may have caught the news a few months back about the growing trend of wolf pack’s descending upon Texas schools.  The trend involves groups of teens wearing lupine eye contacts and attaching “tails” to their pants and ultimately creating a social circle or “pack” that looks out for one another.  And while the trend has been turning heads, it seems that this wolf pack, much like the Quilieute wolf pack is just trying to keep the peace.

But now it seems that another Twilight inspired teen trend has hit Texas, this time they are taking on the roll of the vampires.  Taking lead from the more traditional “cold ones”, a Rockwall, Texas teen has had fangs implanted.  The fangs, which are made using a plastic-like substance called composite, were implanted by local dentist Dr. Mary Courtin and are gaining even more interest from local teens.

While the fangs do not appear to be permanent it does have some dentists concerned, saying that the added tooth length could impact the patients bite.  A good idea or not, it seems that Texas is the place to be if you want to show off your individuality and love for Team Jacob or Team Edward.  The teens mother was not too fond of the decision, but said in an interview, “They want to look like who they idolize. And right now, ‘Twilight’ is it.”

Have you done anything out of the ordinary to show your love for the Twilight Saga?  Let us know!
