Lately I've been
adoring a few Writers/Publishers. The Usual and Tomboy Style. And. Look what arrived
in the mail today!
The Usual is a seasonal “love
letter to Montauk,” focusing on the people and places that make the easternmost
tip of Long Island so special. Printed on newsprint, they tell the story of
summer with photo essays, interviews and featured columns.
Yasha Wallin is
a New York City-based Writer and Editor. She’s written about art,
fashion, travel and young Hollywood for everyone from Flaunt Magazine, Guardian UK, Interview Magazine and Paper Magazine.
She’s covered the dark side of fashion during Sweden’s cold, bleak winter for a
three part series on Hintmag.com. She’s earned cover stories with Malibu Magazine for
her profiles of Academy Award nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence and Eva
Green; and she’s previewed some of the most popular international art fairs and
biennials for Art in America, Style.com and the Hollywood Reporter.
As Editor of the irreverent Jewish humor magazine Heeb, Wallin
exhausted every joke there is to make about a bagel, and once made David
Sedaris belly laugh. Her journey to New Zealand to ride the waves that spawned
the movie Endless Summer also inspired her to co-create the
collectible publication The Usual, a “Love letter to
Montauk,” that honors New York’s own surf community. These experiences
all serve as ongoing fodder for additional writing and editorial work, and
continue to influence her well into the future.
Emily
Anderson is
New York City and Montauk-based Art Director, Designer and Illustrator.
With a background in both the New York Art and Advertising
worlds, she now creates campaigns and identities for brands
ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups. Clients range from The
Coca-Cola Company, Lightning Bolt USA, NASCAR to
all the top pharma companies.
By night she works on a plethora of projects including
recently designing Sam Talbot’s first cookbook; branding Heidi Klum’s personal
trainer; creating restaurant La Bodega’s identity; and making the
magazine for Mike D’s curated show at LA MOCA. She’s currently working on
illustrating a cocktail recipe book; creating the identity and packaging for a
new hair care line; and working on a top-secret project combining all her
favorite things…
Before moving to New
York, Emily spent winters as a ski guide in the Espace Killy, France. She
filled the gap it left with surfing which swiftly became an obsession. She has
surfed in exotic locations such Hawaii, Indonesia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, but
swears that nothing beats putting on her 5mm wettie in the snow at Dirt Lot,
Montauk, and surfing with her friends.
Tomboy Style was
created in May of 2010 as a way to visually explore the idea of the tomboy in
the 21st century. In 2011
the blog was awarded Lucky Magazine’s Best Designed Blog.
It continues to be recognized by brands and
designers like Jenna Lyons of J Crew, Simon Doonan of Barneys New York, and
Ralph Lauren as an inspirational and authoritive blog.

While I'm crushing I realize a few things. I'm glad I'm a tomboy at heart, a writer, a photographer and a beacher. Not unusual at all.
