Hotel Monaco Seattle is Hosting 'Twilight' Look-a-Like Contest

We live in the Pacific Northwest, so we can say in complete confidence that Edward and Bella mania is at full-tilt levels of bat sh*t crazy. You can buy a replica of the heart-shaped crystal charm Edward gives to Bella, dine on mushroom ravioli at Bella Italia and even visit the Forks Community Hospital where Dr. Cullen works.

We’ve even heard that some hotels in Port Angeles, Forks and La Push on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula (the center of "Twilight" activity) are whoring out rundown motel rooms at $150 and up – because they can take the tourism bucks and run.

We love these coastal towns for a daytrip or an afternoon of waves, but they’re kinda depressing. Then again, that's absolutely perfect for a vampire series.

Back in Seattle, the land of the living, Sazerac Restaurant and the Hotel Monaco is hosting a Twilight” Look-a-Like Contest on November 12th. We’ve lived here long enough to know there are plenty of local residents with porcelain skin (read: Vitamin D deficient) who fit the vampire description.

A local celebrity-studded panel of judges will determine which contestant is a dead ringer for any member of the Cullen clan, a beautiful Bella or even a love-struck Jacob – with the grand prizewinner earning the “Ultimate Twilight Adventure” package at the Hotel Monaco.

Before you get worked up into a Twilight tizzy, no, it’s not a date with R-Patz or K-Stew, but overnight accommodations and an authentic Evergreen Escapes tour of all the Forks, Wash. sights from the Twilight saga. Other prizes include hotel stays, movie passes to see “New Moon,” dinner at Sazerac and more. Twilight fans and tweens that are 21-years and older can swap blood-sucking for discounts on signature cocktails like the "Vampire’s Kiss" or the “Bella-ini."

The details: The "Twilight" Look-a-Like Contest takes place on November 12th, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. The judging will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. in Sazerac.
