Trung Hoang

Founder, Editor-in-Chief

Self-proclaimed janitor of Think Contra, Trung is really the mastermind behind the zine, with nearly a decade’s experience. On his spare time, you can catch him chain smoking, while he dreams of living in the 60′s or 70′s, going to the hottest jams, snapping photos to make a means. If all else fails, he’s considered this his Plan B; minus the time traveling..

Glenn Michael

Creative Director

Don’t be fooled. Behind his quiet reverie, are the inner workings of a creative genius and over all trouble maker. Glenn is the guy behind the scenes, working out all the icky details so you have something nice to look at. A partner of Moxy Creative House, whose work has been published in etc etc…. Always styled to a T in an unassuming ‘I don’t care’ kind of way, Glenn gets gold stars for hardest working and best dressed…

Lauren Festa

Writer

This pale wisp has a knack for listening, and so people tell her things – deep, dark things – which is good, considering she likes interviewing. Lauren kind of fell into writing when she decided serving people wasn’t her cup of tea, and that she should probably try out the school thing one more time. It’s worked out pretty good so far. The obvious grasshopper of the lot, whose ideas are sometimes whack, she hopes to meet one million people and never stop wondering. You can often catch her with a glass of wine in hand, writing accidental poetry, or posting pics of her ridiculously cute cat.

Melissa Fox

Writer

Writer, purveyor and critic, Melissa Fox seems to have washed up from the shores of her hometown Bermuda in a glass bottle we can’t quite crack. It’s just part of her allure – not to mention that amazing head of hair. Besides writing about fashion [H&A, Style Bermuda, Live Dress], she’s got wicked taste, and one day hopes to amass a drool-inducing shoe collection, fit for a jet-set life. She’s honest in a way that hurts, but you probably deserved it. Don’t send her an early morning wake up call unless you’re bringing her a coffee. But do take her out for braised ribs and good wine. She likes that.

Christian Carter

Photographer / Videographer

Easily the most enthusiastic member of the team, Christian is an on-the-scene photographer/videographer. The great simplifier, cutting the BS out of everything, he seems to always have the answer – ones that make you hit your head in an instance of obvious stupidity. He’s always got a very good idea..

Naphtali McKenly

Photographer / Videographer

This videographer.photographer has a soft spot for singers of the female type, but hates the new Old Spice guy. His talents and energy make heads spin, but rest assured, his head is spinning all the same. Self-admitedtly, his attention span is so short, if you’re talking and he’s smiling and nodding, don’t be fooled by his reception of “that’s funny”. He’s probably thinking about music or KFC.

Daniel Sanchez

Photographer / Resident Face

A.k.a The Face, a.k.a. Manchez, a.k.a Young Chez is the model [Elite]/photographer cliche who we just can’t get enough of. Often the punchline, sometimes the joker, Sanchez smooth talking and smile have the ladies falling faster than an out of shape mma fighter in the 10th round.

Karen Lo

Blogger / Illustrator

Without question, the coolest nickname on the team, K Lo is an illustrator/designer, who lends her refined eye and steady hand on the regular….Ryerson grad came from humble beginnings – reform school and working as production co-ordinator for MTV – her full time gig is at The Spoke Agency in Toronto. She’s a firm believer in consumerism and love.

Lissy Elle – Teacups & Tutus

Lissy Elle – Teacups & Tutus

We posted a series of photographs by Lissy Elle a few months ago. Those were stunning, confusing and utterly captivating images, in and of themselves. Enough to make me think, Man, I need to get to know this girl, even if on a purely aesthetic basis. I was struck by the haunting quality of her [...] >>
Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire

Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire

  Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars. How does it happen? Random. But interesting. Stream of conscious. Starting out with lord only knows what at this point, I skipped across photographer [...] >>
CYEOMS by Crystal Yeomans

CYEOMS by Crystal Yeomans

This is a tale of two cities; a story of lovers and 2×4′s, nervous break downs and self discovery. But above all, this is a story about fashion. I met her at a party, somewhere between drunkeness and floating, but I didn’t forget about Crystal Yeomans, the designer behind CYEOMS. Crystal is a ‘reverse-rebel’; both [...] >>

Lea T – Torment of Duality

Does the transsexual model Lea T epitomize the new ideal of fashion? Is she the ultimate in achieving androgyny?... >>
Adriana Lima does Amy Winehouse

Adriana Lima does Amy Winehouse

Even as a crack smoking custy, model Adriana Lima still manages to look drop dead gorgeous portraying Amy Winehouse in the new issue of Love magazine. Let’s just hope Ms. Lima has a little more self-control. >>
