page from a book about hypnosis in dentistry with the heading hypnodontics — hypno-anesthesia. “Massage lower jaw lightly on outside of face for a moment or two then proceed, ‘As I massage your lower jaw you will find that your jaw muscles are becoming rigid and more rigid all the time; just like a steel vise.

[all caps] You may try but you’ll find that the more you try the more rigid will it become. Stop trying.’”

The wallpaper [would be the same],” Chen Tang, director of The Slug, said. “We were like ‘Let’s not do wallpaper.’ It would change a lot. So we were like, ‘How can we creatively kind of get around that, so we did a lot of close-up shots, a lot of back shots, you know tried to keep dialog to a minimum. It really adds to that sense of loneliness … so we were able to get around some of the current limitations, but it also helped us in ways I think we would have never thought of.”

article excerpt: She knew nothing about the book. Now, she's on the "Twi-Tour" convention circuit, traveling the country and using her hands to sign autographs. In the works, her site said, are sales of a "Hands of Twilight" body lotion (apple-scented, of course), and an apple charm necklace. (Her 1,200-plus followers on Twitter include "MrsEddieCullen" and "Newborn_ Bella.") But now Hickey's bite of the apple is drawing some blowback. New York magazine describes Hickey this way: "She doesn't understand why she isn't more famous. It's cute at first, and then you realize she's not kidding about this." Other headlines joke about her seeking "hands-on glory."
