Happy New Year family, friends & colleagues,

A belated but enthusiastic note to let you know where I have landed. In
early December, I was appointed editor in chief of PYPO.com. PYPO (Put Your
Pretty On) is a new go-to site for irreverent comedy and conversation that
launched on January 4, 2016. Think... Funny or Die mixed with Vice mixed
with GOOP.

PYPO is the brainchild of Stephanie Laing, a TV comedy producer and
director (Veep, Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals) who has eight Emmy
nominations and two wins. Partnering with Susan Paley Fisher, a 15 year
veteran in consumer technology who has created many successful businesses
based on innovative consumer platforms, including *Beats by Dre.*

We are award-winning storytellers with unrivaled access. We are a
“pypeline” to original content and programming. Our content creators and
contributing founders include comedians, directors, producers, musicians,
doctors, journalists, entrepreneurs, and fashion and beauty experts
including award winning writers, such as Georgia Pritchett (Veep), Gemma
Baker (Mom), Paula Froelich (Yahoo Travel) Lea Goldman (Marie Claire), Laurie
Cole (founding instructor Soul Cycle), Taylor Strecker (host of Wake UP
with Taylor, Sirius Radio).

Our Creative Advisory Board includes Jonathan Tropper (novelist, TV Creator),
Matt Walsh (Co-Founder of UCB, actor, writer), Morgan Walsh (actor,writer),
Tony Hale (actor, writer), Tim Simons (actor, writer), Tony Roche (writer /
Executive Producer), Greg Yaitanes (Director/ Executive Producer) and Anna
Chlumsky (actor), Sherry Thomas (Casting Director, Better Call Saul, Vice
Principals).

PYPO is also working to develop original content with Rose Byrne’s production
company, The Dollhouse Collective, Reductress and Silva Artist Management,
John Silva’s company.

I am pinching myself that I found a management position in the media world
that encourages me to be silly, smart, snarky and sometimes inappropriate.
I'm even writing and appearing in sketches -- WHA???!

PYPO is not just reporting news, PYPO is creating it. I would love for you
to check us out at www.pypo.com.

Also, for you creatives out there, I am looking for contributors -- please
hit me up!

Best,

Elizabeth Thorp
