Madge Maril

Bio

Madge Maril is a shopping news writer at The Zoe Report, often covering new beauty launches, deciphering clothing collections, and scouting out sales. She also muses about her personal obsessions (skin care and nails) and leaps at a chance to discuss the future of fashion. Before starting at TZR, Madge previously wrote for Cincinnati CityBeat, Family Tree Magazine, and indie publications. She received a BFA in Electronic Media and a Certificate in Creative Writing through University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. When not writing, Madge spends her time playing noise music, attempting to read memoirs, and collecting vintage clothing. (Which means at any given moment you may be able to find her in the aisle of a thrift store, contemplating which '80s dress to buy.) You can find her on Instagram at @donatella_tchotchke.
