Ayun Halliday is the chief primatologist of the long-running zine The East Village Inky and the author of four self-mocking memoirs: The Big Rumpus, No Touch Monkey! And Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late, Job Hopper and Dirty Sugar Cookies: Culinary Observations, Questionable Taste.

She lives in Brooklyn with the playwright Greg Kotis and their two extremely well-documented children, Inky and Milo. She is Bust magazine's Mother Superior columnist. She appears to have close ties to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade and the Hungry March Band.

She used to perform with the Neo-Futurists, where she originated the bagel trick.

Her first children's book, Always Lots of Heinies at the Zoo, is forthcoming in 2008. Dan Santat is set to illustrate.

Her motto is "Dare to Be Heinie".

A reader of Dirty Sugar Cookies suspects that "Mr. Swain" is Stephen Colbert, Halliday's college boyfriend*.
