The Post: My first question for you is, are you a coffee or a tea drinker?
Baker: I’d say tea.
TP: What’s your favorite kind of tea?
Baker: I love ginger tea. I put honey in it.
TP: Do you have any spots in Athens you like to go to for tea?
Baker: No, not really. I just get it from Kroger to be honest with you. (laughs)
TP: (laughs) So you just make it at home?
Baker: Yeah, I just make it at home.
TP: OK. You’re from Dayton, right?
Baker: Yes
TP: What’s your favorite place in Dayton?
Baker: For food or?
TP: It can be anything!
Baker: Hmm in the city of Dayton…
TP: It can be around there.
Baker: I like going to the mall. I like shopping so I like going to the mall or I’ll go to Cincinnati a lot. I go to the outlets and stuff like that.
TP: What are three stores you hit up when you go shopping?
Baker: I’d say Nike, (Ralph Lauren) Polo and Adidas.
TP: You said Polo, what would you say your street style is, like if you’re going to class?
Baker: Going to class I just wear sweats to be honest with you. I have everything be Nike or everything be Adidas.
TP: OK, but if you’re going out to dinner or something, what do you put on?
Baker: I’m going to put on some jeans and maybe some stuff from Zara. I shop at Zara a lot. I’d put on some things like that. It just depends on the occasion and how we dress.
TP: Do you have a favorite outfit of yours you wear?
Baker: I switch it up a lot so I don’t really have a favorite. I would say I do like to dress up a lot. I like stepping out sometimes with jeans and stuff like that. Usually on the daily I just wear sweats and everything like that. But, I like dressing up, putting on jeans and stuff like that.
