Name: Mallory L.
Location: Monrovia, CA
Bio: Growing up, my mom told me that watching TV was never going to get me anywhere in life… She couldn’t have been more wrong! I have been able to build a career as a buyer for Hot Topic based on my love of television! I also love the LA Kings and am a bit too obsessed with my 3 dogs.
So many fandoms. What’s yours?
Disney, Supernatural, WWE, Doctor Who, Gilmore Girls, Golden Girls, Gossip Girl (all the girls!)
Who is your role model?
Leslie Knope! She’s the epitome of Female Empowerment. My spirit animal is hands down Sophia Petrillo- no explanation needed.
As a fangirl, what are you most proud of?
The first time I went to Comic-Con, I knew I was going to make pop culture my life. I was so proud to be surrounded by people who were so accepting of others around them. No judgements, just joy to be amongst friends and peers who had similar interests. As the culture has grown, I think we all still have this sense of family and acceptance in our core. You can be an elf, a hunter, a time traveler, a monster, a superhero or villain. All of these things are so different but at the center of it, we all share a passion of a world beyond our own. I’m still proud to be a part of this community and wish that it would start to overflow out into the real world.
