If you haven’t heard, Guido Palau has joined the Twitter ranks. His inspiration? Friend and CoverGirl Creative Design Director Pat McGrath! We tracked down Pat to get her side of the story, and here’s what she (jokingly) told us:

“He saw how many people I had and got very jealous and wrecked, and had to jump on it! I said, ‘Well if you must, see how well you do.’ I think he is doing quite well.”

As for whether or not she’s following him?

“No, I don’t want him to get big-headed! He’s tweeting at me every morning trying to steal my followers!”

(She later admitted she is!)
