Johnny Weir's Tweet-Powered Brooch Wins the Kentucky Derby and the Internet

The race may still be half an hour away but Johnny Weir and his tweet-powered brooch have already taken the early lead for most memorable moment at this year’s Kentucky Derby. That’s right. The two-time Olympic figure skater is wearing a pink-tailed racehorse brooch that runs on the hashtag #WatchMeNeighNeigh.

Weir has dubbed his two-legged racehorse “Lawrence.” We can only surmise it’s a shout out to the epic historical drama Lawrence of Arabia, a fitting tribute for a dramatic day. Or not. Whatever the case may be, Weir and his brooch are winning the Internet. And our hearts.

The light up/moving horse pin @JohnnyGWeir is wearing is winning the day. #KyDerby #WatchMeNeighNeigh

If you put #WatchMeNeighNeigh in a tweet more than once, will Lawrence gallop twice as fast? #WatchMeNeighNeigh

Everyone’s hearts, that is, except this guy. (And probably Tara Lipinsky):
