When Lauri Eggert, a 30-year-old Target employee, gets on the bus to meet her girlfriends downtown Chicago for tea, people can’t help but stare. For their monthly meet-ups, Eggert transforms herself into a life-sized porcelain doll.
The 1975: Matty Healy
“Are you alright sweetheart?” Backstage at Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, Matty Healy, frontman of the adorable British indie-popstars The 1975 stood over me, reaching his hands out to pull me off the ground. Debuting my 6-inch heels tonight was a bad decision, something I’m willing to admit only after cascading down a flight of stairs before our interview.

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST
Pitchfork: Tribe Called Quest
Some moments are so monumental that they transport you to an outer-body joyride where seconds feel like days packed with intricately woven blobs of emotion.
As predicted, I felt it the moment Ali Shaheed Muhammad appeared onstage, initiating ATCQ's headlining set for both Pitchfork 2017 and my life thus far. Exceeding any expectation, fulfilling all hope, pushing each boundary, expanding the music's meaning. Not only will my live music experience forever measure up to this, but my career almost has a new purpose.

Q-Tip was dancing so hard during "The Space Program" I could hardly focus my camera or emotions.
