About us
Miss Gemini
Miss Gemini, an online dater for the past two years, enjoys confusing her public with her multiple personae. An old-world mystic, Hindu deity and rock star bottled within the body of Tinkerbell, she seeks enlightenment through rigorous study of metaphysical texts, ancient languages, and almost anything that glitters or comes in fruit scents. An unstoppable angelic Gemini, she regularly double-turns herself into the ground - only to find the earth intriguing enough to merit further study.
A nationally published journalist, Gemini is a staff features editor for Woman's World magazine and entertainment reviewer for Lollipop, an alternative music magazine. Her work also appears in National Geographic World.
Miss Scorpio
Artist Scorpio dazzles audiences worldwide with her outrageous wit and stunning wardrobe, constantly shocking the status quo into something more fabulous. An online presence to be reckoned with since 2001, she is an opinionated, voluptuous, long-haired, cynical sculptor/bookworm/computer geek/sex goddess, who is equally fascinated by shiny objects/shiny intellectuals, drumming/dancing, orange Milano cookies, indie movies, philosophy/religion/spirituality/occult, fine art/fine food/fine wine, and long sentences. She regularly talks to strangers.
When she's not practicing her Scorpio arts of seduction on innocent bystanders, she is busy combining her digital photography and graphic design freelance gigs with a myriad of other activities, from a career in sculpture that has brought her nationwide recognition as well as two permanent public works, to independent projects in fantasy art, writing, jewelry/fashion design, and self-enlightenment. She has been deftly weaving her way through the New York City events scene over the past two years, and is now a full-fledged events guru, organizing all G&S outings and keeping the weekly email chock-full of fantastic happenings you'd otherwise never hear about. She's also in charge of keeping up this very website, so if things go wrong, blame her!
You can catch her at her trusty PowerBook at
Sponsor Info
Gemini (a sweet, bright, angelic creature) and Scorpio (an intense, dark and moody siren), are two artsy downtown gals and creators of Gemini and Scorpio's Fabulous Guide to Online Dating (www.geminiandscorpio.com), a web guide and upcoming book. The online dating gurus' approach is different for being focused on having fun with the online dating process, rather than trying to email your way to a wedding ring. G&S are regular contributors to Yahoo's Romance and Relationships Predictions, and spread their fun-with-dating gospel through the Internet in a variety of other articles and interviews.
Through their website, weekly events list and their own, sometimes unbelievable, parties, Gemini and Scorpio have gathered an online and offline community of artistic, intelligent, offbeat thinkers and generally fascinating people, a crowd The Village Voice called "quirky, comely, artistic, and friendly" in their Best of 2006 writeup highlighting the girls' fourth annual signature bash, "Get Off...Line." In both 2006 and 2007, the event was an exclusive party at the oldest bathhouse in New York, with a live gypsy band, luxury vodka sponsor, and free pierogies for all.
The G&S' extensive member list has at its roots the elusive audience of New York tastemakers, creative professionals in their 20s-30s with many ties to the worlds of art, music and performance, many of whom with their own mailing lists which further spread word of G&S events. The girls also have personal relationships with various other promotional and advertising outlets. As a result, the G&S brand has enjoyed a fantastic reputation with a notoriously fickle (and advertising-cautious) demographic. In the future, Gemini and Scorpio are looking to expand the G&S brand even more along these lines, producing unusual events with a small exclusive list of sponsors.
