Greg Karber: check or be checked

Lauren Sweeney (heartbreaker)

We’re a pretty fortunate crew around here. L.S. stands for Lucky Seven, and also…

Philadelphia native Lauren Sweeney is a lapsed dancer, (“lapsed” not “lap,”) and the daughter of two artists. After eight years of all-female education, she did an inexplicable three-year stint in finance. She is currently a writer because it is the only occupation enhanced by a series of poor life decisions.
