Find out a little more about the faces behind the magazine…

Susan Vasquez, Editor

I spend my day living the dream… well, my dream at least.

Little known fact about me: I think I can sing opera when I’ve had a few vinos… I can’t, btw.
Most likely to find me: Watching Mad Men. I have the boxset and I’m actually addicted. I need to go to MA (that’s Madmenaholic Anonymous).
Desert island item: I should say SPF (I’m from Australia, I should know better), but I’ll say my boyfriend. Aaahhh…
Most extravagant thing in my wardrobe: It may not be hugely extravagant, but my favourite item would be my D&G LBD. It gives my walk just the right amount of wiggle.
Favourite film: It should probably be something critically acclaimed or art-housy, but it’s Grease. There I said it. And I’ve seen it about 300 times.

I come up with ideas, write features, sub copy and as I’m Beauty Ed as well, I get to spend part of my day playing with new products.

Desert Island Product: YSL mascara.
Favourite TV Show: Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I’m obsessed with Kim Kardashian and reality TV. It’s embarassing.
Little known fact: I once spent the day with Tom Jones. And yes, he’s still got it.
If I had a superpower: I’d like to be able to read minds.
Major weakness: Rich dark chocolate.

Responsible for the overall look and design of the mag each month and making it look Stellartastic.

Can’t live without: Vichy Thermal Spa Water Spray at my desk.
Guilty Pleasure: Hip Hop Mariah
Where you’ll find me: Laduree Brown Thomas (resisting temptation). Or at Forbidden Planet spending far too much money on DC comics.
Fantasy Man: Lorenzo Martone, Dermot Mulroney & Ted Danson (at the same time – why not it’s a fantasy?)
Hidden Talent: Pole Dancer

I make the magazine look beautiful.

On my iPod: Anything that brings the funk
Style Icon: Jennifer Lopez
Handbag Essential: Liquid Eyeliner – can’t go anywhere without my flicks!
Nickname: Spandex – my entire wardrobe consisted of it in the 90s and the name just stuck
Where you find me… on the dancefloor

I shop all day! It’s a hard job but someone has to do it!

Ipod Playlist: 90′s R&B
Style Icon: Jem and the Holograms
Fashion Extravagance: Sequins and giant cocktail rings – I’m like a little magpie!
Handbag essential: Bright lippy – I’m loving MAC Morange at the moment.
Fashion pet hate: Leggings as trousers!

I spend my days lifting weights (aka shopping bags), sorting the fashion closet, and hitting the shops with Fashion Ed Corina.

I spend my day avoiding being lost for words

Favourite thing: My new 1950s, yellow chainmail bag, my boyfriend got it for my for my birthday and I’m in love with it. (And eh, him too.)
Go-to read: Wildflower Girl, I cry reading it now like I did when I was 12.
Latest obession: Sewing, I go about the place collecting fabric cuttings and buttons.
Most likely to find me: In the Cake Cafe scoffing egg and soldiers or Squishy Sponge, delish.
Theme tune: There are a few but, And I Am Telling You from Dreamgirls for a tipsy walk home is my fave.
