The Twins At Homboms?

There was a lackluster response on the call for intel on the "Chubby, 40-50 year old, Asian transsexual who carries Conway shopping bags" who roams the UES, so let's move on -- and jump into the last part of Caroline's inquiry:

"Finally...what is the DEAL with the twins who work [at Homboms (between 78th and 79th and 1st)]?"

I, again, feel a little out of the loop. What is the deal with the twins at Homboms? If you have any clue to what our inquirer is speaking of, please enlighten the group (and be gentle) in the comments.

The twins are the daughters of the owner.

Hey CK - Thanks for commenting. The point of the post was to potentially reveal some interesting people, like the jogger. A reader wrote in asking for some info on some folks, so I thought I'd open it up to everyone to see if there was anything there (since I had no idea who most of them were). And it just turns out that, as you say, this group seems to be a random sample of nice neighborhood folks. Nothing close to a streaking jogger.

Was just about to comment (nicely) on the twins but stopped myself because I'm not sure what the point is. Where are you going with this, 78 and 2nd? Is there really nothing more interesting to discuss about this neighborhood than the random innocent people who live and work in it? If so, then why not at least stick with a more entertaining selection of people like the naked jogger, crazy bar regulars or pervy doctors, etc.

I don't think these are the same twins I'm thinking of, but I'd much rather know who the twin old ladies are on the UES -- have you seen them? They're about 80 years old and dress EXACTLY alike, down to the shoes, the bag and the hat. Haven't seen them in awhile since I moved from 78th and 2nd a few years ago, but I'd still like to know what their deal was.

I know the twins and there great. the problem is the other girl who works there who is always so snippy

I've never seen twins at Homboms, although most of the time when I try and go there to get something, they are closed.

If someone knows these twins...ask them to keep the store open later!

The twins at Homboms are a bit odd, I did overhear them say that their dad owns the store.
