The girls from Vampire Diaries – Nina Dobrev, Kayla Ewell, Candice Accola and Katerina Graham – are featured in the January 2010 issue of InStyle in a make-up article. Check out the scans in the galleries here. Courtesy of Jamie M via V-D.net!

Also, while the leading trio were in London, Female First interviewed Paul Wesley and Nina.

FF: The show is of course based off the books by L. J. Smith, so have either of you read them?

P: Yeah, we’ve read them even though the books are a foundation for the show and the show’s taken creative licence to deviate for appropriate reasons and for good reasons in order to serialise it.

So we can’t marry ourselves too much to the books, but for me, I pay respect to the character that was originally conceived and try to show that on the screen but I let the writers take me the way they want to go.

N: I agree and although I think my character changes the most from the books to the series, for a few reasons. Purely aesthetically, I’m not blonde haired, blue eyed like Elena is described in the novel.

That about sums up what could be the last post this year. Have a very happy new year guys! Hope you all have fun tonight, and hold on there – it’s just three weeks until the return of The Vampire Diaries.
