Lauren Brigance
Lauren is a true blue 901er. She lives in Midtown where she pins way too many projects for her husband and their 100-year-old house, while chasing after her little boy, Theo (March 2013), and hourly reprimanding her 3 dogs for barking at the wind chime. She loves to travel, being a fairy godmother, black coffee, pies, Bravo & MTV reality shows (judge away), Pancho's YELLOW cheese dip, the entire month of May in Memphis, Broad Avenue, black & white movies, green chile on everything thanks to her stint in New Mexico, obsessed with Apple Music and Moscow mules/red wine depending on the day.
