I vant to suck your homework
If you haven't yet settled on a new backpack for your older kid yet, I think she'll probably love this one-- at least if she's a fan of Twilight, or vampires, or True Blood. Which she is. As required by law. The Vampire Orthodontics backpack at Threadless totally cracks me up. Designed by artist Ilia Ovechkin and handcrafted thousands of miles from Transylvania (that's, the USA) it features a set of vampire fangs covered in braces.

Who knows, maybe Edward Cullen wore braces at some point 90 or so years ago to get those choppers looking so perfect. I know for a fact they didn't have Invisalign back then. -Liz
