For all Twilight fans, you might want to check out the March edition of Vogue!

I have a Vogue subscription–I’m reading it for the great articles and not for the silly fashion pictures, of course (And the subscription was a gift, so there’s that.)

Anyway, in Vogue’s March edition the cover girl is Michelle Obama–already a great reason to check out Vogue. But they also have a feature about Melinda Gates (Bill G.’s wife), a feature about Queen Rania of Jordan, one about the “First Lady of France” Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and, and… Twilight author Stephenie Meyer!

I haven’t read Twilight, and I’ve never read an interview with Stephenie Meyer before, (yeah, I live under a rock) so I was somewhat pleasantly surprised to find a feature about her in Vogue.

To her great credit, Meyer knows she is not Gertrude Stein. “I’m not a professional yet,” she says. “I’m still just an amateur.” But she knows her audience like Nielsen. “A twelve-year-old girl has already in her head imagined out fourteen different lives, including if she gets married, if she doesn’t get married, if she falls in love with someone who lives in Paris,” Meyer says. Indeed, one might argue her authorial success has something to do with her being surrounded by non-girls. “I live in a house filled with testosterone,” she says. “There’s always sports on my television, and there’s nothing except hockey and scooters, and there’s nothing of that side of myself left, and so it’s great to have a different place to find it.”

After reading the feature, I now know that Ms. Meyer likes to drive fast, that she likes Greek salad, that she has a phobia about her kids drowning in a swimming pool, that she’s a Batman fan, that her brother is in charge of her website, and that she feels she’s still an amateur (an amateur?!). You can read the full interview in Vogue, and a shorter version online here.

And in case you’re wondering, Ms. Meyer wears a Carolina Herrera cardigan and dress
