Residence: Wellesley

Job: Human-resources recruiter

Are you excited that the weather is warming up?

Very, it's about time. I am very excited that I'll get to spend more time outside.

Doing what?

Barbecuing with the family, gardening, just being outside. Oh and I can't forget my all-time favorite: walking my fabulous dog.

What is your dog's name?

George. He is a Finish Lapphund.

So you live by the beach? Yes, I do. Now that the sun is out more often I am always out sunbathing.

What kind of music do you listen to? Well, the old classics like Billy Joel and the Rolling Stones.

Have you ever seen them in concert? I saw the Stones once on their last tour and I have also seen Janis Joplin.

That's so cool! Yeah it was back in my hippie days. I was a Haight-Ashbury hippie.

What an awesome hat. Where did you get it? Oh, this old thing? I found it somewhere in my closet. I heard you had to dress up so I thought it was perfect for the occasion.

Do you wear a lot of black and white? Yeah, I just like the way it looks, it's nice and classy, but I'll always try to make things a bit funkier with my accessories."

RACHEL WARNER
Age: 23

Residence: Boston

Job: Fund-raiser at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for the Jimmy Fund

What brings you to this event? Well, I used to model for the Little Studio when I was a kid and I came here with my mom.

So is there a story behind your dress? Yeah, it was a hand-me-down from my big sister when I was 9. I haven't worn it in forever but I thought I might as well bring it back for the event.

What's on your iPod now? John Mayer Trio and some old Dave Matthews.

Any summer blockbusters that you're looking forward to? I really don't know what is coming out, to be honest, but I watched "Slumdog Millionaire" a few nights ago with my boyfriend.

What did you think? I loved it and so did my boyfriend - it made him cry. I had read the book but never watched the movie so it was cool to compare the two.

DEBORAH HIRSOWITZ
Age: 56

Residence: Brookline

Job: Recently retired nutritionist

Are you a health nut? Oh yes, I try to always exercise, it's very important. I am big on running.

Did you get to see the Boston Marathon? Yes I did. I was actually at the gym running and could see the marathon from the window. It was like I was running with them but I didn't have to deal with the bad weather.

Great haircut. It seems women are getting their hair cut shorter these days. . . I know. I love it. Isn't it fabulous? I have had this haircut for 22 years and I absolutely love it.

Do you have any stories behind your outfit? Well I am wearing everything from the Studio, but my favorite thing that I have on is my staple pants.

How long have you had the pants? For about 11 years. They really are a staple item in my closet. I love them, they are a bit faded but I can't seem to get rid of them.

LINDE RIMKUS
Age: Over 60

Residence: Kohala, Hawaii

Job: Mother and grandmother

So what brings you to Boston? I am visiting my daughter and grandchildren for a few weeks but I am originally from Madrid.

Do you know how to do the flamenco? Yes of course, I was pretty good back in my younger days.

Have you been to Boston before? I have been here plenty of times and the weather has been so great. I have spent a lot of time in the Boston Common with my family.

Do you have any stories behind what you are wearing? Well, I love my purse. I think it is from Nantucket and it was a gift from my husband for Christmas. It even has my name in it so it is something really special to me.

Do you miss the palm trees yet? A little bit. I go back in a few weeks, but the weather here has been fantastic.
