Name of Fangirl: Kylee
Fangirl’s Occupation: Receptionist and princess performer
What is her Fangirl interest?
Everything Disney or Marvel related. Two of my favorite cosplays I’ve done so far are my dapper day Tiana and my Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy. I’m excited to showcase more I have in store ^_^
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I’m getting through a rough time in my life. From a breakup to some tough family times to also feeling that post grad “When am I going to be doing my career passion?” I want to be a special effects makeup artist for film and television but I took the route of getting a four-year degree first to be a good example to my younger sister and to prove to myself that I could do it. I’ve looked into special effects makeup schools which are super pricey so as of now I’m looking to express myself and my art in this way and various ways to get by. I recently got really into cosplaying and have an amazing support system that keeps me grounded and encouraged. I wanted to attempt this just to remind myself how far I’ve come and how much farther I have to go. I’ve always been a nerd and am so happy there’s a line of clothing that I can express myself with and still look cute. Back in the day I just stole my older brother’s clothes and it did not look the same.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I express my fandom by being genuinely open to new things and trying to answer questions about anything I can. I keep an open mind and know that no matter how much knowledge I acquire there is still more to learn. I wear cosplays and bounds that make me feel good and sometimes evoke emotional responses (happy or nostalgic). They make me feel a sense of confidence that can’t be beaten down by various hardships in life. I try to put more positivity into it because I like to lift others up and help them see the better part of themselves.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Anything Black Widow 😉
