I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me until just now that despite our fandom wondering about why the Cullen kids, who look way too old, and would be way too bored, and way too thirsty, were written to attend high school, and the general Doylist agreement that this was to make the series YA and keep a 17-year-old protagonist, this actually has a perfectly in-canon explanation.
Carlisle works nights. Twipires canonically really enjoy sex. If the kids are all in school, guess who’re always gone when he gets home? 😘

One Dress a Day Challenge
September: Bond Films
Casino Royale (2006) / Eva Green as Vesper Lynd
Continuing with the five primary modes of Bond Girl chic, the third item on the list is evening wear. We've already had a taste of that with Sylvia Trench. Vesper Lynd's backless purple gown from Casino Royale is perhaps the most iconic evening dress of the Daniel Craig era. The plunging neckline and gathered material in the bodice make me think of Marilyn Monroe's famous gold dress, while the long lines echo the 1930s by way of the 1970s. The sparkly edging to the neck is meant to be attention-grabbing, and it is. The dress is finished with a matching wrap and clutch purse.
Like many dresses that appear deep purple onscreen, it appears considerably lighter and closer to raspberry-pink when seen offscreen. Compare this dress for another example of the same phenomenon.
