One day I caught myself thinking,

Chase Infiniti's Performance That's Getting EVERYONE Talking

In "The Julia Set," she portrays a numbers genius in the most convincing way possible — by wearing her virtuosity lightly and casually, as if it were second nature (which, for someone like Julia, it is).
