Erin Flaherty is a freelance writer and former Jane magazine Senior Editor. She’s waxed philosophic about sex, beauty, fashion, pop culture, travel and art to publications such as Allure, Elle, Marie Claire, Details, ID, Page Six Magazine, Men’s Fitness and Ladies’ Home Journal. She’s been a talking head on VH1, Full Frontal Fashion, E!, a bunch of random news and radio shows, and quoted as an expert in WWD, The New York Times and New York Magazine. If all of this sounds really serious, please keep in mind that her hobbies include freestyle Frito pie making, traveling the far reaches of the globe to learn about foreign beauty products, holding “beer tastings” at her house, and that’s about it. She spends her time between New York City and Providence, Rhode Island, where her true love is finishing grad school.
