Antonello SticcaSenior Designer
|
 |
 |
 |
Antonello was born in Italy. After studying, living and loving in Rome, he moved to London (trying out Paris, New York and Texas along the way, but the UK called). In Italy, he created two magazines from scratch, designing/ writing and picture editing them. As a boy, his inspiration had been Cioé, a magazine for teenage girls. He was fascinated by celebrity gossip, especially anything about Madonna (gay cliché alert!), George Michael, Duran Duran and Bros (anybody remember them?), and he dreamed of working for the magazine – which came true.
He joined MPG, working on Gay Times and after becoming Diva’s sole designer (so you know who to complain to!)
In Diva, he found the best team around, and he’s designed the website’s great new look. He loves cooking and dressing smart. He hates bad design and rude people. |

Bryony has written occasionally for Diva since 2001. She worked as editor for the Sport, Sci-Fi and Books sections of gay website Rainbow Network from 1999 to 2001. She's written short stories for the Necrologue and Va-Va-Voom anthologies, and had articles in Myslexia, Gay Times, Zipper XXX and Saga Magazine – diversification is everything. She loves: moules mariniers, any kind of music, playing the bodhrán, salsa, cross-dressing women in opera, Captain Katherine Janeway, her garden and her girlf. She hates: faux-celebs and 'personal' portable CD/ MP3 players – TURN THE BLOODY THING DOWN! |

She joined MPG in 2000 as Marketing Assistant, and has progressed to Head of Marketing.

It’s no secret but Raj has a phobia of animals: dogs, cats, flies, pigeons etc, all of which seem to be drawn to her. Whilst out on a lunch break in a very busy Camden she was hit by a pigeon – no more lunches out for Raj!
