Talia
Born and raised in the small farming community of Dassel, Minnesota, Talia relocated to “The Cities” as a young adult—but can probably still beat you in a cow milking competition. She was once the Princess of Dassel, and as such she waved in parades for a summer on the back of an '85 Mustang. More importantly, she learned how to create a wonderfully teased, curled, poufed updo that would put most suburban dance moms to shame.
Between then and now she went to college, had a baby, got married, got divorced, learned to cook, bought a house, sold said house, and started dating the attractive younger fellow at work. She makes a living doing digital marketing type things and lives with that attractive fellow and her eight-year-old in Minneapolis. She’s known for her even-keel nature—often called “hard to read,” “robotic” or “super bitchy.” Sometimes she draws and paints pictures that aren’t good enough to grace anyone's walls.
No, that’s not her natural hair color. Yes, her face looks that way all the time.

“Take me into the woods!” I would scream with your album on loop while I read Sylvia Plath and retweeted Harold Pinter quotes. We were happy in our misery together.
