Name of Fangirl: Christy
Fangirl’s Occupation: Preschool/Daycare teacher. I teach three-year olds.
What is her Fangirl interest?
I love Star Wars most of all. I attended Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim this year and had the time of my life. But I grew up watching Star Trek with my brother, too. You also can’t go wrong with loving the Avengers.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I am a preschool teacher so a lot of times kids will say that is a boy toy or a girl toy. All of our kids from 1-year to 5th grade know that I love Star Wars and it is no longer seen as a boy thing. The boys and girls alike want to look at my Star Wars books and know who the characters are and if they are good or bad. I love that I get to introduce Star Wars to my kids and talk Avengers with them and they are just seen as cool not for a specific gender.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I collect all the little Star Wars things I can find. Now my friends and students are collecting things for me, too. I buy kids books for the kids to read/look at so they can get excited about it, too.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
I LOVE my R2-D2 phone case. I got it at a comic con and it was the best $20 I have spent in a while. But even more, I love my R2-D2 car phone charger. I love that Artoo says hello to me every time I get into the car!
