Name of Fangirl: Melissa
Fangirl’s Occupation: Production Assistant at HSN (aka Home Shopping Network)
What is her Fangirl interest?
Big fan of Star Wars (even have my own R5D4 tattoo that says “Bad Motivator” that I got from Star Wars Celebration VI), Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Batman, The Avengers, Parks and Recreation, Supernatural, and I’m a big 80s and 90s movie buff!
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
At work I am the “odd” one that isn’t as much into designer bags and make up…Not many people share the same interests or passion for the things I do. While it never gets me to dislike my fandoms, it is disheartening sometimes. Just yesterday I told someone about my plans to go to Anaheim for Star Wars Celebration this April, and she laughed in my face and asked if I was joking….
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Cosplays, sewing costumes, making nerdy jewelry out of Sculpey clay, going to conventions with my boyfriend, shadowcasting the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and buying nerdy gear to wear!
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“Have fun storming the castle!” from the Princess Bride – but I quote movies constantly. You know that part of your brain that math and important stuff is supposed to go in? Yea, it is jam-packed with movie quotes.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
That’s a tough one! It’s between my Millennium Falcon necklace, my red Dalek dress, or my R2-D2 phone wallet case.
