Tell me how your Barbie collection started and your love for collecting in general.
My parents told me I was always drawn to the Barbie aisle when they started taking me to toy stores as a kid. They were really open and bought me my first Barbie. I’m pretty sure it was Twirlin’ Make-up Barbie. She had giant gems on her skirt that were filled with make-up. I think I just love stuff and that's where my love of collecting comes from.

3. Favorite places to shop for furniture or home goods.
I love going to vintage stores and markets in the Hudson valley, I love primaried in Miami that I may or may not have shipped a ginormous 1980’s sectional all the way to nyc from, I love mid century LA, dream fishing tackle, dobbin st co-op, Etsy, and Facebook marketplace
4. Ok I moved into my first home and need new sheets - where do I go?
I have about 10 sets from Gata, and another 10 from Suku, its kind of a problem, at this point.. but they’re both small brands with super cute colors and prints, suku is so so soft <3 I know I’m aging because I’d rather shop for comfy bed sheets than shoes and that is a crazy sentence for me to say out loud. Its so important to sleep in a cloud! And such a special luxury !

5. Perfect date night (what is he making?)
He’s making me a dirty martini with olives and spicy peppers, a few different veggie dishes/ salads, and a giant steak. I’m a simple girl. Ideally eaten in a park with a deck of cards nearby ~
6. 5 things you must have in your purse at all times.
10-15 lip products, a digital camera, a deck of cards, a scrunchie, yarn
7. Next travel destination and why
I’m going to the English country side for a saltburn-style party for my best friend’s 30th lol. Stay tuned on that one
8. Tell us about your current hobby.
I recently took up pottery/ wheel throwing ! I’ve wanted to try for years and recently faced myself to find the time to treat myself to an 8 week course. It’s so hard but I love the feeling of trying something new and being terrible at it and being ok with that (hard for a Capricorn). I can’t wait to make everyone in my life cute mugs <3

Where are you from
Tiverton, RI
How did you come up with the name oldloserinbrooklyn
Well it was oldstonerinbrooklyn but TikTok banned it after like 10 minutes. I made my TikTok account the day after I got laid off during the covid shutdown and was feeling like a big loser. It just stuck!
Favorite career moment
Every moment. I really mean that and don’t take a second for granted.
What advice would you give your younger self
Listen to mom
What makes you happy
My people and my dogs
Your newest hobby
Shuffleboard! I’m not a big hobby jumper, I like to stick with something and really get good. Me, my husband and our friends have been on a competitive team here in Brooklyn for 3 years and we’re still just okay.
Favorite 3 places to eat right now
Chavela for tacos and margs, Lowerline for happy hour oysters, Ursula for breakfast burritos
Favorite Sandy item
This resort 2017 dress I wore to the ss26 show paired with a new fave the paw Mary Janes. Two Sandy eras, two favorites.
