Where Are They Now? Tracking Down The Central Coast Nightlife 'Flower Girl'

Published 10 months ago
Description

Chances are, if you’ve ever had a night out in Paso, SLO, Morro Bay, or Atascadero over the last 20+ years, you’ve seen ‘The Flower Girl’. Dressed to impress, basket in hand, weaving through bars, restaurants, and packed patios, Christine Minkkinen has been making the rounds, selling flowers, and adding a little unexpected romance to the night. But have you ever stopped to wonder—who is she? How did she get started? And how has she kept this gig going for 25 years?


It all started with a classified ad, and what began as a side hustle turned into a full-blown career that’s given Christine the ultimate gift: freedom. We talk about the highs, the challenges, and how she managed to keep her business alive through a global pandemic. Oh, and did we mention she also walked on the wings of airplanes? Yeah, you’re gonna want to hear this one.
