Get the gear from Twilight

There is so much to talk about with Twilight, the adaptation of the Stephenie Meyer novel that has sunken its fangs into so many young readers. There is the literary angle – how does the film compare to the book? There are the stunning locations in Portland, Oregon (standing in for Forks, Washington) that play host to the romance between high school student Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire paramour Edward (Robert Pattinson). There are the quirky, high school fashions that combine modern edginess with classical elegance and even cars from Bella’s beaten up old 1963 Chevrolet C-10 truck to Edward’s Volvo C30 (originally a 1953 Chevy and a Volvo S60R in the book respectively), though for techie fans there is only one subject – the cool gadgets on show.

And there are quite a variety of techie toys and household items paraded in Twilight, many providing interesting insights into the characters that use them. So if you’ve read all the books, ditched all your old clothes in preference for some like Bella’s and are a veritable encyclopedia of information about Portland, complete your Twilight makeover by tooling up just like the Forks High School crowd.
