Demand: Lauren, 24 July 2009, Loews Boston Common


I approached Lauren because of her massive shades. It turned out that she works at the ICA. We talked about how artists don't wear preppy clothes and whether a preference for Urban Outfitters over Abercrombie & Fitch was really actually sort of arbitrary.

She explained that she'd gotten her moccasins three years ago from Minnetonka Moccasins and that they were real leather.
You're going to a funeral and then a monster truck rally on the same day, and you don't have time to change. What do you wear?

I can't even picture what it would be like at a monster truck rally...

What wouldn't you be caught dead in that your parents might wear?

My mom has some pretty good-looking mom jeans, but I wouldn't wear them.

What's hottest: robots, ninjas, pirates or elves?

Robots.

Why?

My boyfriend walks like a robot.
