FROM THE DESK OF MEGAN MCCARTHY — A note to Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the inhumanly hunky main plaintiffs in the ConnectU-Facebook lawsuit. Yes, we are aware that you are identical twins. Smolderingly hot identical twins. Yes, we are aware that, in your quest to be Olympic rowers — lean, athletic, sweaty Olympic rowers, we might add — you are used to wearing team uniforms, cut and colored to make you look like clones. This does not excuse the fact that you wore the exact same navy-blue pinstripe suits to your court hearing yesterday. And the same belts. And the same shoes. Good lord, have you no taste?
You're 25. However smart and entrepreneurial (and smolderingly hot) you are, identical suits make you look like your mom picked out your outfits for this year's Easter parade. And that's a buzzkill for any girl who doesn't write twincest fanfic on LiveJournal. Don't give those girls hope for an endless round of "Twinklevoss" narratives. By all means, make the most of the fact that you both look like a dry John F. Kennedy Jr. and let that be your fashion guide. Wear Izod and Polo and other preppy clothing lll you like. But please make sure you never go out in public wearing the same suit again. (Photo by AP/Charles Krupa)

Did they at least wear different ties?
This is what girlfriends are for: dressing their significant others appropriately. I say go for it, Megan. There are two of them, so your chances are better.
Smolderingly hot? You've spent far too much time in Silicon Valley!
Not a girl but are they really that hot? At least face-wise, they look a bit hipster doofus like with their Krameresque hair.
At least their ties were different colors. It would have been hilarious if one tie was light green polka dots on pink and the other pink polka dots on light green.

I bet there mom does dress them.
You should do the star-stalker thing. Perhaps the unsolicited breathless email. I think the public, Micheal-Moore-esque on camera attempt to interview them about some sort of joint-date with you would be valleywag worthy video.
Maybe you could talk to Podtech about working on this with you guys :-)
Possibly the best Valleywag post ever.
Megan, if only you had the twin, the four of you could go in identical double dates! Although imagine the possibilities for confusion.
ditto deltaguy: best post ever. vw needs a woman's touch from time-to-time as much as the twins do
I am so fucking glad that Mark Zuckerberg is running Facebook and not these douche-bags.
@EZE -- Y'know, it almost -- perhaps?? -- reads as if you think that Zuckerberg is not himself one of the biggest douchebags to ever grace the halls of the Valley's VC firms?
Funny Shit Megan! These guys are "Spank My Ass!" HOT!!!
Mark Zuckerberg? Not So Much!
@KIRANATOR. haha. well, there are two sets of possible owners here, pick ur poison. that is, until the company begins selling shares to the public
i like zuckerberg and co. because they are technically competent, and have successfully tried some risky-seeming innovations.
however, i find it funny that he has the policy of only hiring people with tech skillz now -- dude, set the bar higher by becoming an articulate CEO.
Now we know what caused the 365 Main problem. Megan's panties went nucular when she saw the Twinkie twins and took out half the facility.
@VALLEYCHICK: Couldn't agree more. Maybe Denton could be convinced to allow a little Jezebel-Valleywag cross-promotion and publication? Or Owen Thomas could at least act a little more gay. Please.
Oh, and I've just got to put myself on the record for this. Cameron and Tyler are devastatingly hot. Not necessarily real world hot though, but very valleyhot.
As I sit in Chicago, the day before BlogHer, there's so much ripe stuff to say about this post.
But, I'll just smirk and walk away.
Wow that was great
Megan: it was the Twinklevoss twins who lifted your bag at the party. they just called and said they'd give it back, if you offer them a smoldering McCarthy sandwich.
rilly.
No, I think they're hot. They seem a little corn fed but they're hot.
I don't get the sense Zuckerberg's really running Facebook. He's like the president. Up front, but, powerless.
