Name of Fangirl: Beth
Fangirl’s Occupation: Super mom
What is her Fangirl interest?
Anything Star Wars, original, prequels, Clone Wars, novels, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Tolkien, and anything Twi’lek!
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because it doesn’t matter your age, you can still play dress up! I didn’t discover cosplay until after 40, and it has been so much fun. My husband calls it my midlife crisis. But also because I think it is important to embrace differences and I encourage my kids not to be afraid to be different (especially my son with Aspergers/ADHD) and to embrace and love all their interests, geeky or not.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Usually by dressing as a Twi’lek and supporting the local Star Wars fan group here in town at events, charity functions and conventions, wearing my favorite Her Universe items, listening to Rebel Force Radio podcasts, and making annoying FB posts to all my non-SW friends.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
Anything from Han Solo!, “Laugh it up fuzzball”
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Pablo Hidalgo’s “Essential Reader’s Companion”, and my Mac to stay connected all my favorite fan sites!
