EMILY ROBERTS HOLDEN

Age: 31. Lives in: St. Paul. Occupation: Hairstylist at Juut Salonspa by day, bringer of noise in the girls-only DJ trio Lady Parts by night.

Q: When you're not at your day job, you make jewelry on the side. Have you always been crafty?

A: I realized about two years ago that I had an insane amount of creativity built up in me from ignoring my passions for so many years. Most of the jewelry I make is custom-designed with the person I'm making it for, which is really gratifying.

Q: How would you describe your personal style?

A: I keep it classy at work, but when I go out I like to wear anything from ripped-up jeans to sweet vintage dresses. You will never catch me without one too many accessories or amazing shoes.

Q: What are your favorite songs to get a dance floor moving?

A: I really prefer old jams, like Wu Tang's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," going into surf-rock or doo wop or Gayngs. I always describe our mixes as every fun song you'd play on your friend's little brother's iPod at a party.

Q: What are your favorite summer activities?

A: Sitting in the shade -- I'm so pale -- splashing in the baby pool and Lady Parts' residency the second Thursday of every month at Clubhouse Jäger!
