.... Do I like to make fun of glittering vampires? Why, certainly! Do I like that they sparkle? Well, um, I appreciate that Stephanie Meyer has a new take on a classic creature, but no, not at all. I’m afraid I don’t quite see the point of why they sparkle. Like Bear said, what’s the purpose of it? Do I think they would sparkle in real life? Nope. Can they sparkle? Well, if the writer wants to write them that way, yes. :yes:

I mean aren't they just the unholy undead? Ok, they are special with special gifts, they don't need to breath, their blood doesn't flow as much.
But when was the last time you went outside and sparkled? And not been wearing enough glitter to make a fairy jealous?

Vampire powers/gifts are to make them stronger and more appealing to humans so they can get blood. (ok other then the bursting into flames in sun part). So how does sparkling help?
All it does is say "look at me I have some weird skin disease. stay away from me"

Also why don't they sparkle under artificial light? If there skin is that reflective shouldn't all light reflect off of it? How does something as elastic and supple as skin reflect light in the first place. I know vampires are fictional but most stories I've read had reasons for vampires to have certain abilities.
