Artist/Director, North Gallery

"Um, I am a woman. No, really, I probably would have had a cleaner kitchen — I like to cook, but I don't like to clean. And I probably wouldn't do as many stupid things as I do, but maybe I just wouldn't tell everybody all the stupid things I do."

Andrea Watts

Student, St. Louis University

"It wouldn't be so bad when I get called "sir.' Last summer, between customers at work and riding the city bus, I got called "sir' every single day."

Tony Chantiko

Hairdresser

Paralegal, Shelhorse & Gavras

Student, Mizzou

Mike Galvin
