Name of the Fangirl: Christy
Fangirl’s Occupation: Dance Instructor
What is her fangirl interest?
Christy is a huge Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Star Trek fan. She is currently watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Project Runway and still misses DisneyXD’s TRON Uprising (will it ever come back?!). Her favorite character is Obi-Wan Kenobi and Princess Leia (Hoth Bespin outfit, thank you). Her favorite Star Wars movie is Empire and her favorite Indy movie is Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues!
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this fangirl?
Christy is my wife of 16 years and the loving, nurturing mother of our always-entertaining 6 kids – 3 of which are named after a Jedi, a Ghostbuster and a famed Archeologist. With our sixth child born this past summer and medical bills out the wazoo, we’ve decided not to exchange birthday gifts or Christmas gifts to each other. Still, I think she’s awesome and would love for her to be a Fangirl of the Day.
How does this fangirl express her fandom?
Christy is very adept at quoting Star Wars within parenting moments with our kids…and in our own conversations of many things – work, love, faith. When teaching dance, she’ll even use Star Wars references with her students, “Ladies, extend those hands out like there’s Force Lighting shooting out of your figure tips. Like Palpatine, people!” She still dreams of one day beating me at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
You were right. Tell your sister, You were right…
What is her favorite fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her Lego Obi-Wan Kenobi keychain…even though he’s missing his legs!
