Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Carol encourages others to not be afraid to show off their true geek. When she was younger her father always told her to open her mind to the possibilities. Raising her to not be afraid to show off her true geek and her true self, even after he passed away she still holds true to his teaching. Always stepping up the notch creating the next great cosplay to either wear to Cons or during Halloween at work.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
At work she is always asked, “What’s your next costume going to be?” It’s always a new experience when Carol steps into the hospital in her next big cosplay. She is now in the works of making a plaster of her face to make latex foam prosthetics too look like Aughra from the Dark Crystal. When she is not working on her costume (due to real life) she is drawing. She has a gargoyle character that she draws either having whirlwind adventures or cosplaying on her own and is more then happy to show her work to her co-workers. Even when she is in scrubs she decks out her badge and lanyard with Star Wars pins and buttons, “No one…touches…my Boba Fett.”
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“You’re walking around with me dressed up as a Avatar, why wouldn’t people stare at us?”
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
She has several. She still has her first Star Wars lunchbox her father bought her on first day of school, and a plush Darth Maul that she constantly has to rescue from her cat, and a Thorin drinking cup.
