Run by Ian McLaren and Ian Walker, two former record-company talent spotters, NWA sells T shirts and bibs stenciled with sayings like MAMA AIN'T RAISIN' NO FOOL!; mittens with LOVE and HATE knitted on the knuckles; and anthemic punk and hip-hop CDs, rerecorded lullaby style.

As her future self, she’ll still wear ginormous headphones as she listens to an eclectic mix of Korean pop, hip-hop (à la 50 Cent), and mellow alternative (à la Postal Service). When she goes to the cocktail parties at our 25th reunion, she’ll still fan her cheeks and ask if they look red after just one drink...
