Party Planner/DJ

Carly is a television editor/producer by day, DJ by night, nerd all of the time. This neurotic ‘televisionary’ dislikes coconut, chunky peanut butter, snakes, poor spelling and grammar, gladiator sandals, and disproportionate outfits. She enjoys ties, robots, casting specials, irrationally hating things, and lemonade. Her goal is to someday become a pop and lock dancer… oh, and to change the world of gay media.
