Name of Fangirl: Jennifer
Fangirl’s Occupation: Project Coordinator
What is her Fangirl interest?
Has loved Star Wars since her parents introduced it to her when she was 5 years old. Love Sci-Fi, action movies, horror movies, The Walking Dead, Star Trek, all things Disney and proudly letting the geek flag fly.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I’ve been a geek my entire life and have been a fan of Star Wars and other “non-traditional” and “non-girly” genres for as long as I can remember. Sure I played with Barbies growing up but they always lived near Han, Luke, Leia, & Chewie. Growing up being into Star Wars and science fiction wasn’t the norm for girls but I’ve never been one to shy away from showing my love of Star Wars and all things geeky.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I have a few Star Wars shirts that I wear and I am absolutely in love with my new Rebel Alliance skirt. I play online games whenever I can and am always willing to help educate and guide someone on their path to more knowledge about Star Wars.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“Ladies don’t start fights, but they can finish them.” – Marie, “The Aristocats”
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Love, love, love my “Looking for love in Alderaan places” shirt that I got during Disney’s Star Wars Weekends a few years ago. Some people immediately get the pun and others take a little longer but then you see the light come on and they go “Ahhh, I get it”.
