LINDSEY MALOY

30, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

Lindsey Maloy is an ABQ native, but just recently moved back from Dallas to work in the family business, Maloy Mobile Storage, as a CPA. “I really love being back in an office with awesome coworkers,” she says, referring to the two years she spent working from home during the pandemic. Lindsey isn’t too discriminating when it comes to social drinks. “I have red and white wine at home, it goes great with so many dishes,” she says. “I also love to tailgate, and beer’s always fun for that.” The 30-year-old hasn’t quite found someone who checks all of her boxes, but she’s hoping this year brings change on the dating front. “I’ve tried Hinge, but I just haven’t found anyone with similar interests,” she says of the dating app. “I also don’t know if online dating is for me.” At last call, Lindsey goes with a classic: vodka soda (“It’s just so hard to mess up.”) Sometimes she likes to bring on the nostalgia with Black Velvet, a whiskey she herself isn’t a huge fan of, but a drink that reminds her of her dad.

COPPER COCKTAIL PICK I would order an Espresso Martini because I love the familiar flavors of coffee and the excitement the spirits bring. WORST PICKUP LINE YOU’VE GOTTEN OR EVER USED “Do you have a name, or can I just call you Mine? FIRST LEGAL DRINK?

A margarita at Chimy’s (the local college hangout) in Lubbock, TX. GO-TO PREGAME SONG? “Space Jam” PERFECT NETFLIX ‘N CHILL MOVIE? I would pick a new scary movie because I love scary movies, but never watch them alone so I would drag my company into a spooky date night. BRAVEST THING LINDSEY HAS EVER DONE

A little girl was getting punched by a mother kangaroo because she was (unknowingly) too close to her joey in her pouch, and I hopped in and fought off the mother kangaroo to save her. KEY TO HER HEART? To “show up,” for yourself, for me, for your friends, for your family.

FAVORITE MOVIE QUOTE “You can’t ride two horses with one ass, sugarbean.” – Earl Smooter in “Sweet Home Alabama” HANGOVER CURE Chatting with my friends about the fun we had and strangers we became besties with for a night. Oh, and a Bloody Mary! IF YOU WERE A NEW MEXICAN DISH, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? I would be a Chile Relleno, because I am always filled with cheese and I bring the heat.
