Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Kristin and I have been friends for many years, and she’s a fantastic representative of Fangirldom! A very talented designer and craftswomen, Kristin started her own company, Skastumes.com, and creates wonderful costumes and accessories for cosplayers and fanboys and -girls of all ages! One of the My Little Pony hats she created even helped cheer up a 7-year-old girl as she went through chemotherapy!
