Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
After working for years in the corporate realm and conforming to the socially acceptable lifestyle, I finally realized that it is so much more important to be myself rather than who people think I should be. I now show up to work with my Chewbacca backpack, custom R2-D2 shoes, and a collection of awesome Star Wars t-shirts. What a relief to spend my paycheck on LEGO and action figures instead of black business suits. In your 30s, it is okay to embrace your inner geek girl and rock the heck out of Darth Vader leggings!
