When I met Christine Teigen just over two years ago at Sundance 2009, she was generally known as “John Legend’s Girlfriend” (or, alternately, as “John Legend’s Smoking Hot Girlfriend” or even as “Oh My God Did You See John Legend’s Girlfriend?”). She subsequently held the titles of “That Victoria’s Secret Girl” and “That Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Girl” before attaining her current designation of “Coolest Pretty Girl on Twitter.”
The Thai-Norweigan beauty has opened up her life to an impressive degree on the social networking site under the ID @chrissyteigen; she’s one of those rare tweeters whose volume of material reveals more and more about their personality. It also helps that she’s very, very funny, and that she deliciously skewers just the right people while still seeming to be a good person. (ed. You looking for work Christine? We like your credentials!)

For the love of God, can we get this girl a talk show, stat? We have to put up with Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, and Carson Daly? And there’s no room for Nightcap with Chrissy Teigen? Really?
In the last week Teigen has accompanied Legend to the Grammys, taped the SI Swimsuit cover reveal for Letterman, celebrated Valentine’s Day, appeared on the Today Show and watched Legend on Leno and herself on Letterman on the same night. And shared it all with us.

Here are our Top Ten (yes!) favorite tweets from her 7-day whirlwind:
10. No matter how risky I think I am for these carpets, i am still not wearing a meat dress
9. Christina has like. 500 letters in her alphabet judging by her over singing
8. I only want people to do this sh!t when I die. But maybe it’s like that movie “get low”.
7. God this whole ninja drummers thing is so played out, beibs.
6. Telling a really bad joke on letterman got me another 1800 followers. You guys are easily amused and/or like boobs
5. Wow. Just learned not to make tacos in my own hand. Now i really do have a meat dress.
4. I didn’t think goop could be more pretentious but the addition of a “music” section would help
3. Some guy just asked me for my credentials. Apparently saying “deez titties” doesn’t work
2. I literally have no idea what John is doing on Leno with a tambourine and a song I’ve never heard him sing what the hell
1. F*ck it I will look tomorrow. Get home with my charger @johnlegend you thieving bastard. I mean I love you happy valentines day!
