Bow Down, Bitches

The New York Freaking Times is in the house.

OUR house.

“Early fans included Nina Garcia, one of the show’s judges and now a frequent retweeter of the Tom and Lorenzo posts. “They can sometimes be a little biting, but it’s all done in good fun,” said Ms. Garcia, the fashion director at Marie Claire.

By 2009, as readership ballooned and they began accepting Google ads, the two closed down their proofreading business to focus full time on the blog, which they renamed TomandLorenzo.com. “A million people start blogs, and one of every million makes it big,” Mr. Fitzgerald said. “If you don’t mind me saying so, Lorenzo has a tendency to get a little grandiose and I’m always the one saying, ‘Honey, you need to have more realistic expectations from the world.’ ”

The two, who live together in a three-story house in South Philadelphia, commute to New York City once a week to meet with fashion editors, publishers and their book agent. Such was the case the other Wednesday, when they met with Laura Brown, a features and special-projects editor at Harper’s Bazaar over breakfast at Café Cluny in the West Village. (“I just wanted to meet them, to be honest,” Ms. Brown said.)”

Read the whole thing. God knows we have; about 2 dozen times now.

Oh, and Tom has thick, thatch-like Kennedy hair. Definitely NOT “thinning.” Also, Lorenzo wants you all to know that he now hates that shirt and he most definitely does NOT have a gut. We’re pretty, dammit!

Just thought that needed to be said.
