Thanks to their biting, insightful commentary on celebrity style, they started getting sweet missives from pear-shaped ladies who needed a boost of confidence more than fashion advice. Every day, before you leave the house, they instructed Lady Pear, after giving her some standard style recommendations, look in the mirror and tell yourself, Everyone wants to be me or do me. In this book, they explore the celebrity image and style culture with their trademark acerbic wit, from starlet meltdowns to publicity seeking pregnancies to red carpet disasters, along the way offering readers funny but inspiring takeaways and advice on understanding what constitutes great style and confident self-image: Know the venue, know the image you want to project, and sell it, sell it, sell it.
Brimming with insight, humor, and takedowns of the myths of the celebrity culture, this book offers the best of the friends readers want picking out their clothes every morning and gossiping over the newest issue of Vogue.

PRAISE FOR
Everyone Wants to Be Me or Do Me
Any book that asks the question, Whats with the turbans, ladies? should go right onto everyones must-read list... Witty, wonderful, and occasionally witchy advice from two of our favorite experts on the cult of celebrity.
Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, founders of GoFugYourself.com
Tom and Lorenzo say everything were thinking, but didnt know we could say. They have popped a big hole into the balloon that is our celebrity-obsessed culture. Then theyve taken that air and pumped it back into real people, who need to know that they too can feel like a superstar. With sass and wit, Everyone Wants to Be Me or Do Me makes everyone remember that image is one big game and they too can be a winner.
Aliza Licht, SVP of Global Communications, Donna Karan International

Tom and Lorenzo... whose award-winning blog is read by fashionistas the world over.
The Daily Telegraph
Tom and Lorenzo, fashion and style blog... Check it out... its bitchy and fun and addicting!
Elle.com
One of our favorite things about awards shows (besides our inter-office gown debate, of course) is seeing what style bloggers Tom and Lorenzo have to say about the red carpet. Always incisive and hilarious, they seem to be able to say what were thinking without even knowing were thinking it.
Peoples Style Watch
Their blog, which offers sharp-tongued and often bitchy commentary on a potpourri of pop culture, is read by some fashion heavyweights. Theyre always funny and brutally honest, said Joe Zee, the creative director of Elle magazine. And they know their stuff.
New York Times
I have once again fallen under the spell of Tom and Lorenzo.

If websites could talk (or eat, for that matter), this is the one wed want to have lunch with.

For the Bitter Kittens
D ear Tom & Lorenzo, the email began. I have wide hips and small shoulders. From the time I was a child Ive been shy and awkward. I want to make a change before I turn forty and I want to start with my clothes. How can I bring some red-carpet glamour to my day-to-day life?
We didnt used to get emails like this, but wed recently started a semi-bitchy, totally gay fashion and celebrity blog that surprised us by gaining an audience, and since wed tricked people into thinking we were style experts, we occasionally received sweet missives from pear-shaped ladies who needed a boost of confidence more than fashion advice. But how to continue the illusion that we know what were talking about while still giving her some helpful tips?
Wed somehow stumbled into a hobby, which lateragainst all odds and reasonturned into a profession that had us reading publicist press releases, obsessing over red-carpet photos all day, and conducting celebrity interviews. Despite giving pear-shaped ladies the impression that were somehow insiders to this world, that was not the case. Prior to the unlikely series of events that resulted in our becoming pop culture and fashion bloggers, we tended to have a positively Elizabethan attitude regarding celebrities: namely, that people who choose to go into the entertainment field are most likely deranged, with severe attention-seeking disorders, and that no respectable person would dare consider interacting with any such person whenever he or she appears somewhere that isnt a stage. Alas, we live in a world where people revere their celebrities and dont say things like alas anymore, so our ideas about this sort of thing tend to come across a little, shall we say, archaic.
Dont get us wrong; we love celebrities. Adore them, actually. Not only do they work to provide entertainment to the masses, they also tend to have insanely melodramatic personal lives that provide us with something to talk about during smoke breaks, in waiting rooms, or while seated with strangers at a wedding. Politics and religion make terrible conversation topics, but a pop singer gaining twenty pounds or an action star crashing his car into a palm tree can bring people together like a natural disaster that happened somewhere far away. Other peoples problems will always be infinitely more entertaining than our own, after all.
Most of us would find it hard to get out of bed if millions of people judged us every day for our clothes, hair, faces, bodies, romantic entanglements, financial status, and sexual history. But celebrities blithely sail through their days, eyes straight ahead, even if their field of vision is dominated by a bunch of screaming photographers who would sell their children for a chance to get a picture of an Oscar winner with spinach in her teeth. For a celebrity, every day is a slog through throngs of people clawing at you, both figuratively and literally.
