Name of Fangirl: Ashley
Fangirl’s Occupation: College student (pre-RN) and work at home mom.
What is her Fangirl interest?
ALL things Sci-Fi but mostly Firefly and Star Wars with some Doctor Who.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because I’m the biggest Fangirl ever? I just gave a speech on a life experience in my college class that was literally about how I BECAME a geek. I have a Firefly tattoo. I frequently introduce myself as “The biggest geek ever.” I live, eat, and breathe my fandoms. They keep me going when I’m down. It’s a place to escape to, and while I used to be ashamed of that when I was younger, I am proud to flaunt my fandoms and status as a geek to the world. It is a HUGE part of who I am and I love telling people about that part of me.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
It can be as big as something like a T-shirt, to as subtle as a pair of earrings. However 90% of the time I have a piece of my fandom on me. Well… actually with the Firefly tattoo on my forearm I now have a piece of my fandom 100% of the time. However I went out of my way to make sure I had a new Star Wars back pack when my books and folders got too much for messenger bag to handle for classes this semester. Not to mention my fandoms have spilled over into my business now and I go out of my way to find geeky prints for my headbands at Geeky Bands so that others can have ways to show their fandoms off, too.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
I have two things – my Firefly wallet and my Star Wars X-wing cardigan. I CANNOT TAKE A TEST without my Cardigan. It’s my good luck charm.
