A Who's-Who and How You Can Reach
Them
Illustrated by Dara Gold
Miles Baker
Co-Editor in Chief
He can be reached at miles (at) mondomagazine.net
Miles Baker is beginning his journey to become the King of Magazines. Under this title he will wear a crown, hold a scepter, and be adorned in a sash. He will still wear his civilian clothing: brown running shoes, cardigan sweaters, and cords. The crown will assuredly make his hair look funny.
No one is sure what the King of Magazines will actually do.
When not aspiring to royalty, Miles can be found energizing people with long conversations about exciting topics like Captain America, Star Trek, Buffy characters, and hot men who are fictional.
Rachel Kahn
Co-Editor in
Chief
She can be reached at rachel (at) mondomagazine.net
Rachel Kahn was captaining the good ship MONDO when the rudder hit rock. To the captain and crew's credit, they went down with the ship. All hands washed ashore months later on a new tropical island - the Internet! Despite these hardships Rachel still enjoys anchor imagery and sea shanties.
Owen K. Craig
Comics
Editor
He can be reached at owen (at) mondomagazine.net
Owen is not a fanboy.
Kerry Freek
Arts
Editor
She can be reached at kerry (at) mondomagazine.net
Strangers like giving treasured artifacts to Kerry. Since 2007 began, she has been the lucky recipient of a decorative glass tomato, a rose made of underwear, a pair of earrings made from lipstick tubes and wall brackets, and a bite-sized New York Times - complete with packing twine.
Alexander B. Huls
Television
and Videogames Editor
He can be reached at alexhuls (at) mondomagazine.net
Alex(ander) Huls was born in the impoverished town of Oakville, but has lived all over the world. He is a proud German and is the only man on earth who considers German the TRUE language of love. Once an aspiring NBA player, he became aware of his calling as a writer when in 8th grade he impaled a man in an Indiana Jones-esque short story. He now aspires to emotional impalement in his work. He is a pop-culture whore, but his particular fetishes are film and television. He enjoys writing about himself in the third person because it makes him feel more important than he is. But don't tell him that because he cries easily.
Allana Mayer
Music Editor
She can be reached at allana (at)
mondomagazine.net
Allana believes in the all-encompassing power of gin and the sneaky ninja skills of dry vermouth. She knits, but not very well; she's obsessed with street fashion photography and Peter Greenaway; she collects Westminster Gold classical vinyl releases and fake strands of pearls. Every day is like an ice cream party in her pants and a day at Disneyland in her heart. Her interests include top hats, candy corn, supporting public libraries, and Ompa-ing 'til she Dors.
Doug Nayler
Film Editor
He
can be reached at dougnayler (at) mondomagazine.net
Once a year the Naylers would hitch up the buckboard wagon, and take it down the precarious path to the nearby trading post to get the winter's supplies. It would disappear behind the pine trees down the lane, returning loaded with wonderous things. Barley, corn pone, ham hocks. Jams and calico, a little bit of lace for the girls, some taffy for the boys. Seeing the wonders that would come back in the wagon, Doug would wonder what life was like away from Nayler Mountain. And when he left for the big city to go to school, his mind was full of all of these things. But the world would hold much more than he could ever dream of...
Dan Taylor
Lifestyle Editor
He can be reached at dantaylor
(at) mondomagazine.net
Dan Taylor has been bit by a dog, hit by a car, thrown by a horse and chased by a peacock. He can see the future in flashing moments of clarity, but by then it is too late to change anything and so he stands and watches and it happens just as he knows it has to.
When he isn't reading by the fireplace, smoking and drinking brandy out of a goldfish bowl, he is down at the river looking for his father's gold pocket watch. Arms thrust into the water up to his elbows, his fingers crawl frantically across the perfectly-rounded stones of the river's bottom. His eyes snap up to meet yours as you approach with cautious steps, and he stops only for a few minutes to accept the thermos of black coffee that you have brought for him.
With shaking hands and chattering teeth he tells you how close he is, that today is the day he will find it. And you smile and nod and silently watch him drink, because he is calm for a moment, because he is so rarely this happy, because you don't have the heart to tell him that his father never owned a watch, that he told time by the sun.
Tavishe Coulson
Graphics Editor
She can
be reached at tavishe (at) mondomagazine.net
Having being born much like a canon fires from a pirate ship, Tavishe was bound to have an inimitable view of the world. Her dabbling into the world of imagery began before she was strong enough to lift a camera. Being born into an artistic family Tavishe grew up knowing Van Gogh, Pollock, and Goya like other children knew peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Today, Tavishe smears her life on an electronic canvas — photography and graphic arts her enslavement.
