My motive for visiting Philly was the La Roux concert, which was supposed to have taken place in the summer until Elly Jackson had a case of laryngitis. The postponed concert date meant my hair was a lot shorter and spikier and oddly enough, a lot more like Elly Jackson’s hair by the time of the show. I wasn’t trying to be a concert attendee who emulates the star, but she is a hair hero after all. Maybe it was subconscious after listening to her album so religiously.
