about the finer dandy.

Dino-Ray Ramos is a entertainment writer that watches too much TV and enjoys good and bad movies. He has a critical eye for movies and television, which meaning he likes to make fun of it all — but enjoys making a fool of himself the most. He can inhale a burrito in a little under five minutes, is awkward, enjoys inappropriate humor and is nerdy for comedy — so much that he thinks he imagines that he is funny on his Twitter account. Occasionally, he lends his magical powers to websites such as AfterElton.com, DivineCaroline.com and OKGorgeous. He has also contributed to the Oakland Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle and surprisingly, his work still exist in print as a pop culture columnist for Hyphen Magazine. You can also see him doing his best impression of an Asian Donahue (or Sally Jessy Raphael) when he is moderating post-screening Q&As with famous people. With charming desperation and need to be loved, he is always looking to contribute to other publications. Payment can be in the form of donuts and/or cash.
