The Portrait Magazine Colmnists Team
The following people each write a monthly column in Portrait.
Nicole
Fashion Closet Columnist
Age: 19
Country: Canada
About Me: I was born October 5 1989 and I’m currently still in high school. I love fashion. I make some of my own clothes whether it’s from a pattern or it’s just me winging it. I also love to make purses. During the school year I have a job placement at a fabric store to earn school credits and during the summer I work there a couple days a week.
I have some medical problems that have me at an adult learning school where I can work at my own pace and take as many days off as I need. I’m currently doing well because of having the right medications for endometriosis (I had surgery to help control it in January 2006); I also have an anxiety disorder, and chronic fatigue to name the big ones.
I’m a little strange and my best friend is my mom.
To sum up everything thing about me, I’m ‘anything but ordinary’. You can email me with questions or comments at lil_kiwi_nicky@hotmail.com

Janni L.
Book Club Columnist
Age: 13 (14 this November)
Country: United States of America / Bangladesh (wooo, Bengali pride!)
Well okay, hmm. For starters my name is Jannice, but my nickname is Janni (among Jann, Jannci, etc...). I turned 13 last November [2007], so hehe guess that means I'm a late bloomer. I'm starting High School here in the Big Apple when September comes around. I've designing, coding, and running websites for I guess 3 years now. I love listening to music and am basically updated on the latest songs and such. I'm also a huge bookworm which just got me to this job. I'm really excited to be able to be the Book Club reviewer this time, and I hope you guys enjoy all the fun stuff!

Emily
Country Music Madness Columnist
Age: 15
Country: USA
I'm your basic highschooler: somebody still trying to figure out who she is in theisbig world. I have a passion for ice hockey, as well as writing, movies, and music. Ice hockey has been a part of my life since I was three; I've been figure skating for just as long. Mike Knuble? Yeah, he's my hero. Taylor Swift, Mandy Moore, and Ashley Tisdale are all my role models. I look up to them, even though they're not much older than I am. I enjoy making graphics in my free time. I'm pretty sure I want to become a magazine editor when I "grow up." Yet, that can always change--nothing is set in stone yet.
I do love celebrities and fashion. They're everyday people, though. The only difference is that they have a multi-million dollar paycheck. My dream job would have to be an actor. I've enjoyed acting for a very long time. I'd also enjoy directing movies and music videos. I design my own clothes and jewlery, too. A last fact, that is definitely unknown to a lot of people, is that I am ninty percent sure that I am going to marry a hockey player. Sidney Crosby or some guy that's in my gym class, it doesn't matter much. They're all perfect.

Danielle
'If you like it loud...' Columnist
Age: 16
Country: Wales
Well, starting from this September I'll be in Sixth form (which is like the 11th grade), and I'm pretty much looking forward to it because I like new challenges and it will give me the opportunity to meet new people. My school has the programme that we can go to other schools in my area for different subjects so that should be fun. I like writing (it varies from stories to poems) and designing and listening to music. Even though my column is about rock, I like all genres really, from country to pop and r&b to jazz. I also like to read books and watch moves and I'm really an all-rounder on that except I don't like horror films. It's not that they scare me, it's just I find them really stupid.

Brittany
Good enough to Eat Columnist
Age: 19
Country: USA!
Hi, I'm Brittany (Britty, Britt, whichever you prefer). Born December 20, 1988, you do the math. I've lived in Pennsylvania since I was twelve, and I currently attend the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, majoring in Digital Media Productions (fancy way of saying film and video). Soon, however, I'm going to apply to the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (my hometown), majoring in journalism - my first love.
I am a huge music freak - I cannot live without it. I'm completely obsessed with movies and certain television shows. I have a thing for British TV which is why my favorite shows are "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood." I also love books, but sadly, I rarely have time read.
I love to cook, and I love to travel - it's just how I was raised. My dad, who was in the Air Force, was stationed in Germany when I was 6, and we traveled all over Europe, and we traveled on our stomachs, that's for sure. Food is the best.
I'm quirky, sarcastic, fun-loving, shy, outgoing, and an oxymoron. That's me in a nutshell!
