Current Guest Editors (Love Issue)

Laura Hunter-Thomas
Currently training to be an Olympic fencer in the upcoming 2012 and 2016 Olympics is fashion blogger Laura Hunter-Thomas from the United Kingdom. An advocate of pro-health and anti-stereotypical fashion mantra, Laura devotes much of her writing supporting these ideas to Beauty, Not Bullshit. Her writing also focuses on promoting other bloggers and social topics related to fashion, straying away from the usual image based blogging to focus on writing pertinent and affective content for her readers. She firmly believes there is no such thing as "average", championing the idea that fashion is not limited but rather expansive. Laura is a lover of vivid, bold colors that she often pulls together in a look she calls "Kitschy Glam". Her favorite up and coming designer is Michael Van Der Ham.

Arushi Khosla
Making waves in fashion is 16 year old fashion blogger, Arushi Khosla from New Delhi, India. Always an avid lover of clothes, it wasn't until the age of 13 when she delved into the world of high fashion. When not studying at school, meeting other bloggers and industry contacts, or contributing her writing to well regarded companies such as French Connection India, Arushi is also maintaining her own personal fashion blog, Fab Blab. Fab Blab began as an inspiration folder, but now features many of the unique styles that she wears. Though working through the limitations of her young age and her far location is tedious, Arushi is able to maintain a flow of writing and work. Currently, she plans to intern in New York City this summer with her goal of entering into fashion PR.

Ilana Matusevich
As a mother of three, Ilana documents her sometimes unorthodox approach to parenting. Born in Russia, raised in Israel, she is a product of different cultures. She writes posts for a variety of blogs in the US and abroad on raising her three kids. She is now working as a staff blogger at The Printed Blog, helping, also helping to select posts written by other "mommy" bloggers.

Melysa Schmitt
Funny. Sexy. Inspiring. These are the three words that describe SexLiesandBacon, New Jersey native Melysa Schmitt's candid lifestyle blog. Between finding time in raising her young son as a single mom and working, Melysa writes her brazenly honest humor in hindsight despite criticism from both groups from the online community and her own relatives. Though she has her concerns for the well-being of her son, Melysa, who had previously written about parenting on NJ.com, has developed a distinct, sharp and snappy voice through her personal blogging, allowing for her to reach out to her readers with a simple, underlying message: That the strength that you get when you realize you're your own individual is the most powerful thing. Ultimately, Melysa wants to write comedy for a sitcom and plans to start her own podcast.

Brandon Mendelson
A humorist and social critic, Brandon Mendelson of New York has a biting sense of humor and a frank perspective which is dispensed in teaspoons in the form of tweets to his nearly nine hundred thousand followers on Twitter. Though the number dwarfs many well known users and even celebrities, Brandon makes a specific point to note that this number is absolutely meaningless. Hence Brandon's new book, "Social Media is Bullshit"— a serious commentary that dispels the misconceptions of how things spread on the web in a humorous voice, is coming out this April. Currently, Brandon also has plans to self-publish his own creative endeavor, Dracula and Kittens while doing more stand-up comedy.
