From Burlington via Durham, Kelly is in town for a doctor's appointment and decides to stick around. "It's eclectic here. More of the open-minded cities in North Carolina," she says of Carrboro. "This is more progressive than anywhere else other than Asheville. There's actually culture here as well."

Kelly is a music junkie who swings from the Grateful Dead to her latest hook, electronic music. "I dig it and I love to dance. I can dance right now. I'm going to see Beck on Friday and I'm about to lose my shit over it!"

Her signature move? "I wiggle and hop. I call it the hippie jam dance. It's like becoming a tree. It's repetitive and I like it."
