PRIVATE ICON: SOOKIE STACKHOUSE

PRIVATE ICON: SOOKIE STACKHOUSE

Bella who? True Blood's Sookie Stackhouse takes our style vile.

There's one thing about Twilight that doesn't beget obsession: Its clothes.  Bella Swan might be a badass heroine, and Edward might be a blood-sucking vegetarian, but neither of them seem to have moved past LL Bean outfits.

Fortunately, there's another vampy heroine - Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood - that actually knows how to work it.  Between her delicately teasing camisoles and her shredded short-shorts, this girl isn't just "vampire bait" - she's actually an emerging style icon.

Check out Sookie's most wanted, above - just don't ask us where to buy V, otherwise known as Vampire Blood.  That's way, way too much trouble...

NOO WAYY sookie is 10x cooler than bella. bella's klutziness is quite annoying and she's so goddamn helpless all the time. at least sookie knows how to defend herself.

Sookie is way cooler. I love the books so much. They're way better than Twilight.

i dont think Bella would have the guts to kill a guy by jamming a shovel in his neck like Sookie.

agreed agreed agreed. Bella's damsel in distress act charmed us all the first time around- but come on. Start punching people or something please? She gives girls a wimpy name- AND influences young, impressionable teen girls to act like her-helpless. Bad bad news all around. Even though Kristen Stewart is a bad-ass.

..I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd noticed the similarities. Twilight's a piece of shit, anyway. I'd say anything is better than that sad excuse for literature.

Sookie is sexy, independent, strong, incredibly loving, and respectable! She is the type of woman any decent man would go for. Young girls are impressionable, and need to be exposed to more characters like Sookie. I like Kristen Stewart, but she should learn from Anna Paquin and choose roles for the material, not the stardom.

I think THEY BOTH are very brave. Sookie and Bella are both putting their life in danger and risking everything to be with a vampire. Sookie obviously has the cool factor of being able to read peoples thoughts, but there are times where she's one part brave and three parts fool EXAMPLE: Saving a complete strange vampire (BILL) She ended up getting her ass whipped, and if Bill wasn't "mainstream" SHE'D BE DEAD! She has her foolish times, but I <3 SOOKIE

Hell no! Bella is so much better than Sookie. The only reason True Blood started is because everyone started loving Twilight. It's amazing literature, what are you talking about.. So well written.

Of course Sookie is better than Bella. Amazingly better :)

I don't know what brand of V some of you are taking, but Twilight is the farthest thing from good literature. Someone once called it the 'Sarah Palin of literature' and that is incredibly apt. True Blood, based off the far more complex and witty novels by Harris, is just as smoky and gritty as vampires should be. They just shouldn't sparkle, guys.

Bella is way better. Though Sookie is the "stronger" character I think Bella is more realistic. Bella and Edward epitomize true love. Bella may often be scared but it's almost always more for the safety of those she loves and not for herself. I think a real girl would be closer to Bella than Sookie though Sookie is definitely cool and I do love her clothes.

Ok, some people need to get their facts straight. First, Kristen Stewart had never heard of Twilight when she auditioned for the movie, so it was not just for the fame. Second, it's true that Twilight is no literary masterpiece, but it's a good story. Twilight fans love it for the characters, and because it's so easy to read (not every book should be written in lengthy prose). And finally, Bella is a fairly strong person, and while annoying at times, she is pretty brave in the long run (I'd like to see you stand up to a room full of ravenous vampires).

ok, twilght is not the best book in the world, and it's not as good as evreyone is pretending. ok, I just going to see the movie thursday. ok, it's just an excuse to pass time with my friends. but I like Urban decay lipstick and all this stuff. don't you think you could stop arguing about these movies or books or whatever....

I hate twilight more than anything, anyone who thinks it is legitimate literature or any sort needs reality check, or maybe just a brain.Bella's just an idiot who can't take care of herself and has no definite personality, she's willing to risk her family and friends for some guy and gets married right out of high school. Edward openly admits to stalking her, and though his intentions are well-meant, they end up seeming rather abusive and startingly suffocating for Bella, who is completely willing to kill herself for her man, who constantly has the urge to rip open jer jugular, given the chance. Oh yeah, now this is what all our teens should be reading, I'm really glad our generation's real sharp.

Twilight sucks. This girl kicks Bella's booty! REAL vampire stories NEED sexy & violence. True Blood SO trumps Twilight. lol. xo

Sookie is a badass. Bella half of the time looks like she's in pain (but, yes I did like Twilight.. Bella though? seriously?!) Also GX11 the book series that True Blood is based on came out before Twilight.. Bam! sucka.

True blood is a rip off of Buffy. idk why people compare TB and TL. thats like comparing 90210 to the OC. yeah they have similar elements but they are totally different.

The Sookie Stackhouse series actually came out a full three years before Twilight although I didn't find the Stackhouse series until after I had read Twilight. i wouldn't say one is better than the other. Twilight was written for a much different age group than the Stackhouse series was. I appreciate both for what they are and I'm very excited that some of the spotlight is being shown on Charlaine Harris and her amazing contribution to vamp lit. <333

I love Twilight AND True Blood. But You have to admite a HUGE part of the reason TRUE BLOOD is ding so well is because all of the Twilighters have gotten into it. I love Sookie..But just to defend Bella...She is a 17 year old high school girl...How many 17 year olds do YOU know would be completely self-assured? Sooki eis a little older. Besides, by the time Bella is Sookie's age...I think no one would be able to mess with her. If you know the twilight story..you know what I mean lol. That girl is wayyy stronger by the fourth book

Chuck from Pushing Daisies is actually my favorite fashionable TV female. Every episode, I drool over her clothing, all those cute vintage dresses. Still, Sookie's a close second.

The Sookie Stackhouse and Sookie herself SUCK YEA I SAID IT AND ? Sookie is not stronger than Bella and really DON'T HATE on TWILIGHT because your ass is a loner and isn't loved by anyone ! TWILIGHT BABY !

Rachael

I have read both books series and honestly the Twilight series is better written and the reason why Bella isn't liked by alot is because her character is well written and she does become stronger at the end. The Sookie stackhouse series isn't as popular as the Twilight series for a reason and that is that girls can honestly live through Bella and relate better to her than Sookie. So Twilight wins big time sorry.

First off, I didn't know who Sookie was until I saw this. Second, Twilight and True Blood are completely different. Yes, they're both about vampires, but still different. The vampires in Twilight are believable, much like the whole entire story. The "Sarah Palin of literature"? Well, I haven't heard that one. But if you actually sit down and read Twilight and the whole series, it is very well written. You feel every emotion the characters have, especially in New Moon. It's obvious that these things were not meant to be compared to one another. I watched a few minutes of True Blood and had to turn it off, it bored me. Stop insulting each other and just accept the damn fact that certain people like different series. If you haven't read Twilight and are hating on it, go pick it up and read the damn thing. Same with whatever series this is, which I haven't read, so I won't judge it.

Shouldn't you people be talking about the FASHION and not the shows/books themselves? Who cares which series is better? The best part about Sookie's style is that it's accessible, head to your local Marshall's/TJ Maxx etc. to find the American Eagle dress she was wearing when she found her grandmother in the kitchen. I bought it and it looks super cute with purple tights and a black belted grandpa cardgian....

Okay, let's set this straight. Twilight isn't bad, but it's more of a pg-13 thing. True Blood/Southern Vampire Mysteries (AKA, Sookie Stackhouse books)are more grown up. IMO, screw Bill AND Edward. It's all about the viking!

lo.
