Our family has grown since we started in 2005 and you probably know them all by name and post now but we thought you should meet them, face to face. We would not be able to handle all that is involved with running our network of blogs without our girls (and boy!).

Tina Craig (left) and Kelly Cook, Owners and Founders(Photos of Craig by Next Media and Cook by John Sciulli) Sharon Feiereisen, Writer. Sharon is 24 and lives in New York City. Sharon writes for all four of the Snob sites in addition to attending events on our behalf in NYC. When she's not blogging for us, Sharon enjoys jetting to Paris, Morocco and other exotic locales.

Richard Cook, CFO and Chief Tech Nerd (AKA Kelly's Hubby). Richard is a Software Engineer and is responsible for helping us get started, he trained us (no easy task as we both have short attention spans) and he still maintains our site. He also pays our Bag Snob bills (with our money but neither Kelly or I can balance a checkbook to save our lives so we depend on Rich to tell us how much money we have to spend!) plus he keeps all the ads and artwork on our sites current. We don't pay him regularly but the privilege of being Kelly's husband is payment enough for him.

Liza Powel O'brien is a frequent contributing blogger on our sites. She has a MFA in fiction writing from Columbia and is totally over qualified for this job!  We have no idea why she agreed to guest blog but are grateful she graces us with her wit and fine writing.

Kerri Loughlin is our LA based assistant.  She brings with her years of administrative experience and we are hoping she will organize our chaotic workload!

Christy Nguyen is assigned the task of market research and will be assisting with social media networking for the Snob sites. She is our newest intern and shows promise as a beauty writer being a total beauty snob herself.

With a combined 20 years of experience in the fashion and entertainment industries, the Bag Snobs launched Bagsnob.com in 2005 after getting married and giving birth to their first children. The girls wanted to stay in the industries they loved but have the flexibility of spending time with their small children. Through Bag Snob they have found the perfect balance of work and family.

I have received a few emails regarding women passing themselves off as Bag Snob girls during Fall 2007 Fashion Week and am very amused over "Bag Snob" sighting stories from various friends. While we're flattered that women were pretending to be us to get into shows and parties, we want to make it clear that neither Kelly nor myself was in New York this past week. We apologize if anyone was offended or traumatized by the imposters and hope to meet you in person during the Spring 2008 shows in September!
