Jeanette mARIE
At age 14, Jeanette Marie was a model who would go on to spend the next
dozen years traveling for modeling gigs in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.
In 2003, she returned to her native San Diego and, after assisting style experts
on photo shoots (shopping, steaming, rolling hair, glossing lips), quickly
became a successful wardrobe stylist and
makeup artist.
Marie believes in being nice and having
a positive attitude. She loves her job and
always has fun working with new people in
different environments and on interesting
projects. And while modeling may be a
thing of the past for this fashionista, she still
gets teased for striking poses while watching
models on set.
This issue’s cover and fashion spread (“All
Heart,” page 36) showcase Marie’s styling and
makeup prowess. See more of her fabulous
work at jeanette-marie.com.
Brandon Hernández
Brandon Hernández is a native San Diegan who spends way too much
time “blissing out” (his term) on delicious food and fine, hand-crafted beer.
He has devoted the better part of his life
to reporting on both of these subjects,
providing articles, columns, recipes, general
musings and opinionated ramblings to a
number of local and national magazines,
web outlets and TV’s Food Network.
When he isn’t knocking out prose
for public consumption, Hernández
can usually be found in the kitchen,
whipping up something special for
private consumption, including his very
own homebrew. Follow him on Twitter
@offdutyfoodie and read about the dawn
of his love affair with San Diego beer in “Accidental Purist,” page 56.
Brook Larios
The CEO of PlainClarity Communications
(helping individuals and businesses achieve more
than their 15 minutes of fame), Brook Larios
is a wordsmith whose writing has included
everything from an exploration of duck mating
rituals to a feature on the legendary Leonard
Nimoy. Her food articles appear online and in
publications across San Diego County, and her
blog (FoodHuddle.com) is dedicated to dishing the delish.
Larios has written for Exquisite Weddings magazine since 2008 and she
met her husband online —two reasons why she can speak with authority
in “All Heart,” page 36.
