What is her Fangirl interest?
Samantha LOVES Star Wars…fave being The Force Awakens. BB-8 and Rey being her favorite characters from the movie. She also has tons of love for the 501st. She goes to as many events they are at in her BB-8 cosplay and troops with them. She absolutely loves cosplaying! Samantha also has other fandoms which include almost everything Marvel and DC. Her favorite TV show is The Big Bang Theory and she has a crush on Sheldon! lol! At home she loves to play with all her figurines. If she is watching a certain movie you can be sure she has the figurines from it in her hands.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because she is literally obsessed with her fandoms! She is a MAJOR Fangirl! Captain America was her first love at 2 and we even have to celebrate his birthday with cake and ice cream (I have pictures to prove it! lol! ) She lives, eats and breathes her fandoms!
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Where to begin? Almost every article of clothing she owns is either a cosplay or clothes with the characters she loves on them…even her socks and underwear…some times her shoes as well. If we cannot find clothes she likes with her favorite characters on them I end up making them for her. She collects any thing and everything that is BB-8. She collects and plays with LEGO mini figs, Funko Pops and figurines of all her faves. She loves cosplaying…we have been to at least 8 comic conventions in the past 4 months. She also loves cosplaying in her favorite cosplay…BB-SK8 at not only comic conventions but any event that the 501st is at. She also just participated in her first charity event as a cosplayer for the Make A Wish foundation and she is hoping to do a lot more of that.
