Who he is: Pageant coach and judge
How long he’s done it: About 15 years
You better work:
This Kansas Citian doesn’t use his last name (it’s Johnson) and teaches pageant girls essentials including what to wear and how to answer hard questions.
He says he’s unbeatable when it comes to teaching girls to walk in sky-high heels.
Reality check:
Recently, Lorenzo appeared on two episodes of MTV’s “Tiara Girls,” a reality show that follows pageant girls and their coaches.
“I knew nothing about the show, however MTV knew about me,” Lorenzo says.
He also jets around the country to hold workshops for up to 100 girls.
Tough love:
Lorenzo is the Simon Cowell type.
“That’s why they pay me the big bucks,” Lorenzo says.
