Catherine Taormina

Catherine Taormina is a part-time bookkeeper at a photographers studio in Red Bank, NJ and a part-time gopher at an advertising agency. At both places she hones her marketing skills, and writes poetry on company time. Earning dual Magna Cum Laude BAs in Theater and Psychology, she has her sites set on becoming a big time theater and film actress but has to take what's coming to her so she participates in community theater in the mean time. The biggest thing yet, as heard through the grapevine, is she sent a postcard to Kevin Smith's office looking for possible acting work and he posted her picture on his bulletin board behind his desk.

Kristian Johnson

Kristian Johnson Like an old pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire . Nobody wondered what the story was when they were actively on someone's feet. I am a surfer, gear head, low brow artist who grew up a few blocks from Long Branch's North End Beach. Try to fill my days with same things I always have whether it's getting bounced on my head out of a local punk show or hoping the tide is right to squeeze in a little surfing after work.

Julie Taormina

Julie Taormina finished school earning a high honors degree in Art and Education yet does not want anything to do with teaching children.

Her current garden is teaming with wildflowers as per her research into square foot gardening. She doesn't know why she is poor or how she got involved with the poor as she has skills that blow the roof off almost anyone, but her sister's boyfriend keeps involving her somehow.
