About Us: Contributors and Editorial Standards

Contributors:

Jeanne is a former video game tester who went blissfully into the deep end of beauty and fashion to reclaim her feminine side, and hasn't looked back. She prefers tea to coffee, lipstick to lip gloss (but still loves both), and keeping her hair short and easy to maintain. You can often find her carrying too many bags and with a great pair of earrings on, generally in the vicinity of San Francisco; she is known to have a bit of wanderlust for the fashion capitals of the world as well.

Kati has been enamored of Kati Farkas since Farkas was a strawberry blonde, but her lack of 'ie' started a couple of years before she picked up a Gossip Girl novel. She likes her coffee with cream, and her soap operas with a heavy helping of teenage angst. When she's not blogging, she can be found writing novels for Young Adults or attempting to elevate the style level in her hometown from "Pacific Northwest dirty hippie wear" to something slightly less dirty through her love of mini-dresses, colored tights, knee high boots, and headbands.

Karen is an acolyte in the cult of Corporate America, Silicon Valley cabal. She is an avid fan of millinery, feather fascinators, glasses, and other awesome vintage accouterments. She enjoys going to the gym slightly less than regularly, napping, and would probably like indoor rock climbing if she could muster up the courage to try it. Her secret superpowers include making fried eggs on toast and speaking Japanese fluently. She can re-read books many times over and is strangely fascinated by diseases and serial killers. When she's not blogging, she's Yelping.
