Lauren (left) is one of my favorite people in the world. We've been friends since our 11th grade math class. She's doing community service and education projects in South Chicago with Americorps. Here she is at my roomate's friend's bar Lilly's (a great place in Lincoln Park: 2513 N. Lincoln St. check it out) with some of her Americorps friends, Andrea and Alyssa. I think LV should give up community stuff and jumpstart a modelling career.
