I know it has been quite a while.
Things have been ramping up quite a bit here OnTheInside — we have added staff, scheduled a packed pipeline of personalities, and been exploring partnerships with big name publishers.
But who cares about all that magazine stuff, right? The most important development has got to be the relaunch of this blog: Here to bring you the Insides of OnTheInside! (…plus some tech news, and a little New York).
To whet your appetite, here are some big names we would be featuring in the coming weeks. Look out for their full interviews on this blog.
Giorgio De Luca, of Dean & DeLuca fame who, with business partner Joel Dean, single-handedly imagined the gourmet supermarket industry with the opening of their first SoHo store in 1977, which eventually turned into a hundred million dollar business. They understood New Yorkers’ better taste for fine grocery way before subsequent faux-organic supermarket chains, with their tacky decor that says Disneyland more than farmer’s market, popped up all over the city over the past decade.
Carmen del’Orifice, longest serving model at Ford Agency, who in her 70s, still models for clients like Rolex. She has been modelling since she was 14 and carries herself with an air of untouchable elegance and grace. Yet, she comes across as a most warm and humble person during our interview with her. Carmen had some riveting stories to tell of her childhood, and I cannot wait for her interview to be published (also because I was the one that had to transcribe the 3 hour long interview).
Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia. Visionary and evangelist for “free knowledge”, Jimbo, as people call him, currently owns and runs the non-profit company Wikia, a website that hosts a variety of individual wikis on different subjects. Constantly fighting the controversy surrounding the reliability and use of Wikipedia, Jimmy takes a breather with us, as he tells us about his favorite places to hang out in New York. I’m curious: Do you think he ever goes to the New York Public Library?
