Fangirl’s Occupation: Lauren is a stay-at-home mom who is currently going back to school to earn a Masters in Counseling.
What is her Fangirl interest?
Lauren was a closet geek for years, but recently decided that being a grown-up was overrated. She loves everything Star Wars, Doctor Who, Big Bang Theory, and Super Heroes. Her brother taught her about Star Wars at a young age, where they would cuddle up in their Star Wars tent and watch all of the movies over the years.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Lauren’s love of everything geeky makes her the ultimate mom. She creates the family custom costumes every year based on whatever her son is interested in. The family has gone as Darth Vader and his droids (C-3P0 and R2-D2), Ninja Turtles (including a dogs costume), and the X-Men (Wolverine, Cyclops, and Phoenix). Her love of these various worlds allow her to enjoy life beside her son.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Lauren wears her fandom like a badge of honor. She has her R2-D2 stuffy unit that rides in the front of her car and then transforms her car into the Millennium Falcon with her sun shield. Her house has now become a shrine to their favorite shows, with their collections adorning the shelves and a TARDIS stand-up in the corner.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“Beep Beep Bop Bo Boop”, which means “Have Fun!” Life is too short to live unhappy. She tries to create a home and environment where people can be themselves and find the joy in life.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
She is the only girl we know who rocks her R2-D2 purse everywhere she goes. It goes well with her R2 coat and dress!
