Mediarology
is the brainchild of twin sisters Ophira and Tali Edut. Since
1990, the two have been creating and developing media together.
At the University of Michigan, they self-published HUES,
a groundbreaking women's magazine dedicated to transforming
the beauty standards of mainstream media. With a circulation
of 40,000 per issue, HUES was on stands
internationally for seven years, and selections from the
magazine are used as course curriculum in major universities
to this day.
Since then, Ophira and Tali have collectively
authored three books ranging
in topic from women's body image to astrology, and worked
with both small presses (Avalon) and media giants (Simon
and Schuster). They have built websites for celebrity chefs Mario
Batali and Zarela Martinez,
as well as a host of authors including New York Times bestselling
novelist Emily Giffin.
The twins live in New York City, where
they are currently developing their latest project, Astrostyle,
a women's brand centered around the zodiac. Astrostyle captured
the attention of industry heavy-hitters including Time Inc
and Conde Nast. Their columns appeared regularly on AOL.com and
in Teen People magazine. They are currently
the official astrologers for a host of media properties including Brides.com, Oxygen.com,
and Sanrio.com.
They also publish their own site AstroStyle.com,
and have created a merchandise licensing program around their
brand.
With a shared commitment to stay on the
cutting edge of media, Ophira and Tali have entered the mobile
market. In partnership with Disney (Starwave
Mobile) they created a full-scale application that is distributed
through Verizon, Sprint and Cingular.
The two are also regular guests on Sirius satellite
radio and have a television show in development.
