What is her Fangirl interest?

Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
(It’s myself!) I’ve always been so shy about the things that I love because they weren’t what most other girls liked, and now that I’m older, I’ve started to realize that I don’t care what others think, and my true friends support my love of all things Fangirl, so I’m proud to finally let that shine!
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I have attended Comic-Con for the last 3 years, love to do cosplays, and actually have a pretty cool Star Wars ensemble costume ready for this Halloween that will include my little 5lb pup bearsie! I have a Sherlock tattoo on my side, and this summer, I’m adding my Harry Potter portion – Doctor Who will finish up the Tat-trifecta!
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“My experience has been that there is, surprisingly, always hope” – Doctor Who
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
For Christmas this year, a friend gave me a British 1960s copy of the Sherlock Holmes stories, and I don’t go anywhere without it anymore! I also use my Doctor Who 1st Doctor/11th Doctor old school lunchbox everyday 🙂
