What is her Fangirl interest?
Where to start…Marvel has been her main love since she was little especially (but not limited to) DEADPOOL, Spider-man and Xmen.
As a psychology major she finds the DC villains to be quite interesting since most of them exhibit common psychological diagnosis.
Sci-fi such as Back to the Future, Star Wars and Star Trek hold a special place in her heart as growing up she remembers binge watching these movies and episodes with her father.
And of course being a child of the 90s the original 150 Pokemon will always be the very best, like no other Pokemon generation ever was.
As she is wiring this she is sitting in her Avengers Sweatshirt having a DC marathon that includes- Arrow, The Flash, and Batman movies.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
She remembers being a nerd/geek/Fangirl before it was deemed socially cool. Sitting in the corner of the library during lunch time debating which X-Men is strongest, wishing Pokemon were real, and sneaking out past bedtime to watch X-Men evolutions on TV.
Being a fangirl has always been a huge part of her life- even before the term was coined. Having a spotlight on her for something that is innately part of her personality would be such a high honor.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
In her muggle life she makes sure that every day she dons at least one item of geekery, whether it’s as large as her Deadpool Varsity jacket, or as small as her collection of 90’s Nickelodeon pins…or as eye catching as her Her Universe Boba Fett dress to as hidden as her Riddler underwear…somewhere on her person is a homage to something geeky that she loves.
In her Geeky life, she is an avid Cosplayer (top three cosplays are- Deadpool, Zatanna, and Misty) and Burlesque performer- focusing on what is called NERDlesque a delightful blend of burlesque and cosplay.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“It’s not safe out here. It’s wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it’s not for the timid.” -Q (Star Trek)
A beautifully poetic way to say that life is an adventure.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Her collections of: Deadpool Funkos, Pokemon Stuffed Animals, and Women Super Hero action figures.
