Alyse Wax’s Summary

I absolutely love working in television. You have to to involve yourself in a crazy industry like this! I just love being on sets, love the rushing about. Credits include "Big Brother," "Hell's Kitchen," and "Penn & Teller: Off the Deep End," along with lots of cable shows and pilots you have probably never heard of.

My other love being fashion, I started SporkFashion.com, and it has grown far beyond my wildest expectations. Spork Fashion is a true passion project, and I think it shows. We pride ourselves on providing quality, original content and getting out the word about innovative products and designers with a vision.  We are always on the lookout for new designers to feature on our site. Please drop me a line if you are interested - and don't forget to check out SporkFashion.com.

I am always interested in new opportunities in television production. Likewise, I would love to expand the circle of publications I write for.
