Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
have always had a deeply embedded love of costuming and sci-fi. I remember constantly dressing up as a child and not as a pretty princess, but as Wonder Woman, a Power Ranger, or I would sometimes sneak my brother’s Batman costume and drive around the block in his little Batmobile. I’ve recently starting making my own costumes and find it has made me feel more confident and more fulfilled in life.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I have joined the JediOKC costuming club and started attending charity event promotions for children, I love seeing their little faces light up when they see their favorite characters. If I’m not in my work clothes, you will almost always see me in a Star Wars, Doctor Who, or miscellaneous superhero t-shirt!
