PW arts & entertainment editor

porn star name: Marie Van Kirk

roots: Slightly below the Great Northeast

wardrobe despair: Button-down shirts for girls with boobs, making leg warmers look fashionable, pursuing the eternal quest for properly fitting jeans and getting over the "black and brown don't match" rule.

spends too much time: Watching Law and Order reruns, eating pho and talking about kittens

often heard saying: There's other fish in the zoo.

in another life, I'd be: A boutique owner, a pastry chef, a nurse, a secret shopper, a martial artist, a hip-hop dancer, a fashion designer, a librarian and a member of the Peace Corps.

would like to teach the world: That short girls have curves.



Emily Guendelsberger

Crafty

porn star name: Eleanor Ho-sevelt

roots: NOVA

wardrobe despair: on myself: night job + blogging gig = frequently wears pajamas or no pants all day. Also, not good with heels.

on others: American Apparel's Afrika line, prepubescent girls wearing Playboy shirts, any shoes that are obviously painful.

spends too much time: listening to podcasts, doing unreasonable craft projects, not wearing real pants.

often heard saying: Whatever floats your boat.

in another life, I'd be: Probably Chinese or Indian if we're going by probability.

would like to teach the world: The difference between plural and possessive. Also, to sing.

you can find Emily G: on facebook, on google reader and on Twitter @emilygee. She swears a lot, though, so if you are Emily G's mom maybe you should not find Emily G at these places.



Lauren Hard

porn star name: Um, Lauren Hard?

roots: North Jersey - land of The Sopranos & Mallrats

wardrobe despair: on myself: Not being British! Topshop is easing the pain. Like Emily, not good with heels. I got places to go, and sometimes run to.

on others: Tights aren't pants.

spends too much time: Reading random articles. Loves obscure information.

often heard saying: Biggie quotes.

in another life, I'd be: More exotic. It's just not in the cards this time around.

would like to teach the world: To be more accepting and comfortable with themselves and others. One can dream, can't they?

you can find Lauren: on Facebook, on Google reader, LinkedIn and on Twitter @laurenhard , and email lauren.hard@gmail.com



Bianca Cevoli

porn star name: Kimsy Ho-Han

wardrobe despair: on others? Fake tans! I think Lindsay Lohan looks like she was hosed down and rolled around in a softball field.

on myself? Forgetting I have auburn hair and olive skin... then trying to wear fire-engine red.

spends too much money on: new tunes and indian food.

fictional heroes: Peggy Olson from Mad Men, Ugly Betty (Betty Suarez), Kara Thrace.

loves: Battlestar Galactica, puppies, running, popular science books, brunch, coats.

in another life, I'd: be a little more reasonable. Also, taller. Also, a baller.

would like to teach the world: that there really is only a three letter difference between a geek and a nerd. Think about it.
