Texts From Hillary, a hot new Tumblr
featuring a sunglasses-clad, all business Hillary Clinton checking her
cellphone on a military plane, got a guest submission from an unexpected source
on Monday: Secretary of State Clinton herself. It is
very hard to believe that Hillary
Clinton texted "nice selfie" to the guy who runs Texts
From Hillary, but in fact she did, and she finds the whole site hilarious. The
week-old Tumblr posted on
Tuesday that it had received its first text from the secretary of state herself:
"sup Adam nice selfie Stace :-)" she (or a staffer acquainted with
Internet-ese) apparently wrote, followed by "ROFL @ ur Tumblr! g2g --
Scrunchie time. ttyl?" (We had to go look up "selfie" — it means
self portrait.)
Stacy Lambe, one of the
site’s co-creators, confirmed that the post was
indeed from the Secretary herself. “Her staff reached out to us with the
submission yesterday,” says Lambe. “And we just met with her this afternoon.
She was very delightful and thought kindly of us. I can tell you, her staff
just thought the whole thing was great.”
