KELCEY BRIDGES – POP CULTURE CONTRIBUTER

A love for the written word bit Kelcey when she was but a wee lass, wanting to write books in her tree house. Realizing no one could read her scribbles from within said tree house, Kelcey picked up her pen (before laptops became all the rage) and joined her high school newspaper staff. While serving as the Editor of the newspaper, Kelcey developed her own column, ‘The Classic Movie Corner,’ where she reviewed and featured a different classic film each month. Somehow Kelcey managed to make it home from school in time to catch E! News every day, and once the entertainment journalism bug bit it never let go.

Leaving the tree house proved rewarding as she was selected as the top female high school journalist in the state of New Mexico by Al Neuharth and USA TODAY. Kelcey Bridges has also interned with The Celebrity Cafe, the internet’s longest running online entertainment publication and co-created the first undergraduate publication at Regent University, Runner Magazine. The magazine publication laid the groundwork for what became the online publication, The Daily Runner. Kelcey served as Editor-in-Chief and Entertainment section contributor of the publication until she received her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

Kelcey is the on-air personality at entertainment television station My TVZ, where shekeeps the Hampton Roads area of Virginia in the loop of entertainment and communityevents. Kelcey hosts the FANatic Report, a weekly recap of the biggest and most bizarre entertainment stories of the week and maintains a daily blog for WTVZ.
In her down time, Kelcey is a foodie eagerly looking for the next diamond in the rough toconsume a scrumptious meal or hazelnut latte at. She is an old soul at heart, as evidenceby her vinyl records and cat, Hendrixx.

GERARDO MENDEZ – FASHION & STYLE CONTRIBUTOR

Gerardo is a 24-year-old engineer with a Master’s degree and a bundle of talent. He has been a writer since he can remember, winning national awards on essays, poems and short stories that he has created.

Gerardo has been interested in fashion since the first time he held a pair of Prada shoes. He immediately understood that clothing is a manifestation of art, and of the pure desire for perfection in lines and shapes. Working as a fashion collaborator for online magazines from LA to NYC, he has gained a deeper understanding on what’s in, what’s out, and what works for you. When he’s not writing about Gaultier or Galliano, Gerardo can be found at the gym,  painting, or well as shopping (duh).

RUDY KLAPPER – MUSIC CONTRIBUTOR

20-year-old writer Rudy Klapper suffered through the desolate musical wasteland of Orlando, Florida until 2007, when he moved to college at the University of Southern California in the melodic hills of Los Angeles. He is currently a full-time student and a staff writer for the Daily Trojan paper, as well as editor of his own private music review site (www.klap4music.com).

An avid drummer, he’s always on the lookout for someone to jam with. He also enjoys non-pretentious rock ‘n’ roll, trashy pop, female vocalists, and dogs of all shapes and sizes.
