Lesley was born in San Francisco, CA, attributing to her “laid back” demeanor. She attended college in
middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania at Bucknell University, where she both mingled with the Amish and learned the
true meaning of Christmas. She also holds a master’s degree in Journalism from Boston University, which was
basically good for getting her magazine internships well past the internship-age. She has worked at two
now defunct men’s magazines ­ Giant and Sync ­ and has contributed to Elle, NYmag.com and Men’s Journal.
After spending two years toiling in the music department of Rolling Stone she recently took an
associate editor position at Entertainment Weekly. Lesley lives in the East Village with her “witty”,
advertising copywriter husband, and two cats, which she secretly despises. She loves chick-flicks ­
especially the bad ones, and has made it her mission to help rejuvenate the seemingly defunct career of
Freddie Prinze Jr.
