LONDON BRIDGE

Money can’t buy meaning. LAUREN LONDON, the certified dime from ATL and Entourage, reveals herself through her most prized possessions to Complex columnist TRAVIS BARKER. Priceless.

A word from Travis Barker: “I first saw Lauren in ATL and was struck by her acting and beauty. When we met, I found her super-humble, and sweet, too, which is rare in Hollywood.”

BIBLE
“I carry a small Bible with me everywhere I go. When I go to the club I have to find a purse that it fits in. If I’m filming, I read the Bible before I get on set so I can get centered. I feel incomplete if I don’t have a Bible with me.”

TAPE OF PROPHECY
“Last year, everyone was talking about this guy Louis who prophesizes through the spirit and prays over you. I think some people are blessed with the gift of sight, and you’ll know the real from the fake. I met him and he prophesized over my year. If I get down, I play the tape. That day definitely changed my life.”

UGG BOOTS
“An artist by the name of Jonah was inspired and asked me, ’Can I see your UGGs? Do you mind if I write on them?’ I didn’t care. They were dirty. He did the first one and I was like, ’Oh yeah! Holla at this other one right now!’ My nickname is Boogie, so he wrote ’Boogie’ on the side. He did these in five minutes, and I wore them in ATL.”

FUNNY GIRL
“I am obsessed with Barbra Streisand. She’s the underdog. As a kid, I felt my chances [of acting] were long; my mother was a single parent in an abusive relationship and knew nothing about Hollywood. But [Barbra] overcame her obstacles, so I knew I could overcome mine.”

NO-NAME JEANS
“I got these before I could afford name brands. My friends and I shared them; they made our booties look big before we had shapes. This boy in high school asked me what they were and I felt embarrassed, so I made up the brand ’Unique Boutiques.” He acted like he knew it.”

GODDAUGHTER’S SONOGRAM
“My best friend is pregnant with her first baby. We went to do a 4D sonogram. I cried at the heartbeat, and it’s not even my child. I’m really connected. Just in case I never have kids, I’ll always have hers.”

BABY PICTURE WITH PARENTS
“This is the only picture I have of my parents together and me. I look like I don“t belong to either one of them. People used to think I was adopted, then I got older and started looking black”

ANKLET
“When I was 15, a friend surprised me by stealing these $25 anklets we couldn’t afford from the mall. She put hers on and the next day it made her ankle green. My ankle was fine, so I figured it must be karma. I wore it until I was like 22. This anklet went through my first kiss, which led to...other things.”
