My last blog post talked about how excited we get when
someone famous favorites or retweets our posts. I love the energy and
excitement that builds around a fan base when it comes to their chosen famous
personality. Today I have decided to stretch out to Twitter
accounts that represent famous people’s physical attributes. Since I am a fan
of the country a cappella group, Home Free, I’m going to explore their specific
quality accounts. They have built up such a big fan following, you would think
they were the real people.
There are five sweet, talented and generous guys in Home
Free. And although I enjoy writing about them, today I’m going to talk about
Crinkles, Austin’s Abs, Foust Brow, Rupps Guns, Adam’s Ting and Rob’s Beard.
These are all Twitter accounts for physical attributes of the Home Free Guys. They are entertaining and yet hold true to being what they say they
are; a crinkle, abs, brow, guns, ting and a beard.
Foust Brow is the first feature account I remember seeing
and I couldn’t help but laugh when he insisted, he’s just a brow, Tim Foust’s
brow that is. But the voice
behind Foust Brow is very adamant that he is not Tim, just Tim’s fabulous brow.
He has quite a following, too. I remember one Friday, which in Twitterland is
Follow Friday, he had tons of requests, including mine, for him to follow them. We knew this wasn’t Tim, but why did so many ladies want to be followed by a
brow? Foust brow is grateful to his followers, but he's also a little full of himself. However, if you're a Home Fry, you wouldn't have any other way. The brow is intriguing and quite the lady killer.
Crinkles has become another “famous” personal trait account.
Crinkles represents the adorable crinkles on the heartthrob, Austin’s, nose
when he sings. Haven’t seen them? Check out the Home Free O Holy Night video for a close
up. Bossman or Austin has another trait account called Austin’s Abs. Both of
these “boys” play their role as Austin’s crinkles and abs very well. They are
funny, personal and love teasing their fans. Crinkles and Abs have gained a dedicated
group of followers and interacts with them every day. Most of the time, it’s
good clean fun, but these guys know what Fry buttons to push to get Twitter a
flame. Honestly, I never knew how much trouble a crinkle could get into, until
now! I might add that the Home Fries are a willing and vocal group of ladies
that revel in helping the proverbial “train wreck!”
Rupps Guns is, of
course, Chris Rupp’s marvelous guns that he loves to show and the ladies love to admire. This account was a bit of a late comer to the party, but has quickly
become very popular. Not sure if it’s because the guns are nice to look at or
because he is cool and keeps the Home Fries thinking and on their toes with
questions and games, daily. These guns, like the others, enjoy talking with the fans,
spreading the word of Home Free and well, occasionally misbehaving. Not the real Chris Rupp, but his guns have his fans following him any where he goes!
I am not hip enough to know what Adam’s Ting represents, nor
am I brave enough to make a guess. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer of Home Free (and
a damn good one), so we’ll just go with his ting being a beatboxing term, and leave
it at that. There was a Twitter convo about this, but I'm sorry (#notsorry) to say, I missed it. Adam’s Ting is fairly new to the personal feature group, but is
quickly joining the ranks of the other “guys.” Like Adam, his Twitter trait personality is a little quiet, but when he does tweet, you can bet it’s going
to cause a raucous. You can’t throw out a name like Adam’s Ting and not get a
big Home Fry reaction! Kind of like when Adam does his drum solo, the crowd goes wild.
Rob’s Beard is the quietest one of the group, the Twitter
groups, not Home Free. Rob Lundquist, is very conversational and a joy to talk with
during the concert experience. Listen to me, like I know them or something, ha!
His beard, however, likes to be seen and admired, not so much heard. The Home
Fries will bring Rob’s beard out of his shy cocoon. After all, we must have a
complete set of Home Free characteristics represented. These personalities
interact with each other as if they were really “on” the Home Free guys at
concerts, parties or other gatherings. Well played!
Now don’t get me wrong here, yes, these boys are not afraid
to stir up trouble and get the fans riled up and just have fun. And boy do they
ever stir up trouble! But they also promote Home Free and make friends with
fans. These account keepers are clever and well versed in all things Home Free.
These Twitterlings, to the fans, are almost like having a little slice of the
guys all to ourselves. We find them all irresistible and we are very glad,
whoever they are, that they have chosen to bring the Home Fries into their
Twitter world. I wonder what the real Home Free guys think of their physical
attributes “exposing themselves” in Twitter (oops, I might have led this train
down the wrong track with that comment)? If you don't follow these guys, you should, join the party: @CrinklesCrew, @FoustBrow, @RuppsGuns, @_theAustinsAbs, @Adams_Ting and @BeardFree
What would your physical attribute
Twitter account be called?
Another well written blog Michelle, I do enjoy all the Home Free "physical attributes". As I was the last to know one of the "Guys" did not want me as a follower any more and blocked me. I still don't know why. But I still love them any way. I like the playful and mischievous nature these Guys bring out in the Home Fry ladies. thanks for another interesting blog. #FryLoveandHugs
