Tina is a living, breathing, zany action figure or collectable doll, just like the ones she displays in her office. She said her collection began as a hobby, but she has noticed its effect on her clients at Benchmark Mortgage. While people eagerly await the results of their loan requests, they’re often nervous and the dolls have a calming effect. Tina’s warm, chipper attitude and fearless sense of color doesn’t hurt either.
Please describe your preferred fashion aesthetic.
I would say my style is retro to wild.
Where do you like to shop locally and online?
My favorite place to shop is ModCloth on line. And I love Loudmouth golf pants because they are very colorful and fun. Locally I do like Dillard’s or Anthropologie in Ann Arbor.
Tell us about your favorite dolls and action figures in your office.
My favorite dolls are my Disney villains, the old Maleficent, and Ursula. Is it sad that I could probably tell you where each one came from or who gave them to me? I am sappy and sentimental.
What has been your biggest fashion “don’t” (any outfit you look back on and cringe)?
My biggest fashion don’t is: don’t try to be something you are not. Whenever I tried to fit in and follow what was in style, I blew it. I messed it up, I made it cartoonish. Too many people tell me how much they like my clothes, or shoes, or hair, but they say I could never wear that, I am not brave enough. If you want to wear something, cut your hair off, or dye your hair purple, I think that you should. I think if you should be happy and confident in who you are.
