I just went back to look at the pic again and wouldn't you know - its the one pic I can't get to download.  I'll try again later.  However - I did find another gem on Robsessed.  twigs has given an interview to the New York Times and talked about Rob.  Geesh - in the past that used to get Kristen in trouble.  He keeps his mouth shut.


From The NY Times

Ms. Barnett likes to say she’s “masquerading as a pop star,” while also being sucked into the vortex of “Twilight,” with photographers around the world chronicling her relationship with Mr. Pattinson. “It’s really hard — I can’t begin to explain how awful it is,” she said. “It makes you want to just stop everything sometimes. It makes you want to smash your face into the mirror."

 Worst of all are the racial insults — she is biracial — on Twitter and Instagram, some of them from die-hard fans of Mr. Pattinson. “It’s relentless,” she said. She insisted that the attention their relationship draws does not help her professionally. “There’s no amount of songs I can sing or dances I can dance that will prove to them I’m not a monkey.”

 “I didn’t see my life going this way at all,” Ms. Barnett said of recent events. “But it’s worth it. I’m so happy.”

 .....

 Ahead of rehearsal this week, she met Mr. Pattinson on a Chelsea street corner in broad daylight, no tinted S.U.V. in sight, and strolled off with a hand around his waist.
It's sad to read that the NY Times are blaming Rob fans for the racial insults being sent to Twigs. Hopefully they'll edit the article and correct their error.

My suggestion would be that she give up doing interviews all together but what do I know.

You are so right.  I question how much of a "couple" they really are. I tried to listen to her music on Youtube, but I couldn't even get through one song before I was changing it. Not my thing for sure. She is fake and completely transparent. Oh, she wants to be know for her music but brings up her personal life and Rob all the time? Pathetic. I don't care that she is bi-racial. I am very curious to see how she does when he is busy with his next movie. I wonder how much of a draw her concerts will be when there is no chance of spotting Rob.

I don't care if she's bi-racial either.  I do care about her motives.   I'm glad Rob is happy - if he is.  If it weren't for the following, I'd say go for it guys!.  However:

She says a) she doesn't want to be famous, b) she hates the attention, c) she's going with Rob who is getting the attention and it has nothing to do with her but it bothers her?
1.  She's giving all these interviews to well-known publications: for example The New York Times (who could care less about her and wouldn't look at her twice if she wasn't going with Rob. She's also done an interview with Glamour (UK) and another fashion type magazine (also UK edition), USA Today who probably wouldn't look at her twice either.  I can't remember the other publications.   

2.  She's doing social media - the bathtub pic and the Jean Paul Gautier pic; she did the pic in the breast chair (why) - it got noticed and she doesn't want to be noticed?  Again - there are others but at this point its more than I can think of and remember. 

3.  She made it to the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon which would probably not have happened without Rob. Bobbie and Marcus made it onto the Tonight Show also thanks to the Rob factor but they've been at it for years and already had a music rec (no doubt in this country thanks to the Rob factor).  People used to go on the off chance they'd run into Rob.  Undoubtedly some people still do but these days its more for the guys themselves (and I'm leaving out Sam) because the chance of running into Rob is very slim. 

4.  He likes his business to be his business but she's currently making his life everybody's business.  It isn't bothering him? Has he changed that much?   I don't think so because you haven't gotten anything out of him or his parents or his sisters or the Brit pack (which makes one wonder what they think of all this).  All you've gotten from anyone else is a supposed friend of hers with the loose lips who goes Oh They're Engaged.  His manager and agent haven't confirmed it.  If she has a manager or an agent, they haven't confirmed either.   

As everyone has said - what happens to her musical career (will people still show up to hear her sing if Rob is in Germany filming Brimstone or out doing publicity for Queen of the Desert or filming the other two movies in pre-production that haven't confirmed a filming date?  She won't be getting any attention.  How is that going to go over?   Whatever else I was going to say has gone out of my head when I started typing.  I don't even know if this is making any sense. 

Talk about generation gap! Never heard of that song by The Kinks. 

This is what i automatically sing when Lola is mentioned

Wouldn't you rather be a showgirl than a transvestite 
You can call your hubs Rico...and tell him it's not the penguin from madagascar 



Yay! My first embed attempt finally worked! 

Booked, Lola was from the 60's if I'm not mistaken.  Of course, it is about a transvestite. 

I don't care if she's bi-racial either.  I do care about her motives.   I'm glad Rob is happy - if he is.  If it weren't for the following, I'd say go for it guys!.  However:

I don't really know what to think about FKA Twigs. She seems to make him happy. I don't know that I agree though with your comments about her interviews. She was somewhat popular in England and was up for awards before Rob. So the only enhancing he does is in the US  Doing interviews is normally something you do if you are trying to get your music out there. And frankly, most artists will grab any PR they can get because it's free and the record companies require it. Yeah she doesn't have to talk about Rob. But he is in her life and SO's come up in interviews. Frankly, I always thought the "keeping it quiet" was more Kristen than Rob. He is low key. But he supports his friends.  The social media pics? That just may have been something she got talked into by a friend.  She never did it before. At least she wasn't showing anything. 

Watching her videos?  She kind of reminds me of Madonna. Voice is okay. It's more about the dance. And though some songs are okay and may grow on me if I listened enough, they will never be my favorites. 

As for them being engaged?  Well, we all know Rob likes a good joke, so it may have been an April fools joke or it could be real. Either way, I still think he's cute. Hey, I'm married so it wasn't going to happen anyway  LOL!
