Seriously, how big are these kids' allowances?

According to Cinematical, Twilight fans at a Florida convention were willing to pay thirty dollars to get their picture taken with Kimbra Hickey, the apple-clutching hand model featured on the first book in the mega-popular series.

I'm torn: half of me is appalled by this news (Thirty dollars?! Have they no shame?), but the other half is beginning to wonder if the combination of Stephenie Meyer + tween girls with deep pockets really will be the force that saves our economy.
