Hi, I'm Roseann Quaranto.  I started collecting Barbies in 1989 when my then boyfriend (now husband of 7 years) bought me the 1989 Happy Holiday Barbie to cheer me up when I had my wisdom teeth pulled.  I saw the Gold Mackie shortly after that, and 300 dolls later, here I am.  He had no idea what he was starting with that one innocent little gift!  I'm a stay-at-home Mom to AJ who's 6 and in the first grade, Jackie who's 4 and 1-year-old Nicholas.  Between the kids, my hubby who is retired on disability, the BCO website and volunteering at AJ's school I manage to keep myself pretty busy for someone who "doesn't work", LOL.

I've been lucky enough to meet lots of our members in person, there's a pic of Leslie Dmytrenko and I on her bio page, and Catherine Peffley and I on her page.  I also happen to live near Linda Valenza, and we have recently started a Barbie Club here on Long Island.  I met Lisa Franco last year at the Pittsburgh Convention, and look forward to sitting at the table she is co-hosting in Tulsa.  I hope to meet many more of our members, in the meantime I'm happy to at least see what you all look like! I hope we can add a lot more of you to this section of the website in the near future.

There are pics of my vintage and Mackies in the picture section of the website.  Below are a few more.
