What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Wars, The Equalizer (original), The Musketeers, Doctor Who, Iron Man, and many others from print, television, movie. If it’s imaginative, I’m interested.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I became fascinated with SF when I watched the first Doctor Who (Hartnell) in 1966, then read The Lord of the Rings trilogy in the late 1960s. Then, in 1977, came Star Wars. I’ve never looked back. Wrote, went to conventions, drew the characters, made costumes – all things fannish. (At Celebration Ashley asked me contribute. It’s taken months, but I keep my word.)
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Interviewing and publishing news articles. Writing the occasional fiction. Sketching. Costuming. Photography.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
Don’t get cocky
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
An aged cotton Star Wars Fan Club jersey from 1982 that is soft and worn from decades of wear. Still fits, too.
