MSN Money is reporting that someone, at least, is doing well in this economy, and it's all thanks to you: sales of Twilight-themed merchandise helped Hot Topic's same-store sales grow 7.1% in March, compared with the same period last year.

Your heroine still sucks (and not in a fun, vampire-ish way), but we here at Wordcandy sincerely appreciate you doing your bit for the economy.
