Name of Fangirl: Sandie
Fangirl’s Occupation: Assistant to the Dean at Duke Law School
What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Wars, (specifically the original trilogy) and Tank Girl.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I’ve been costuming for many years before it became mainstream and started a family tradition with my children at a very small age. The tradition continues on in their adult lives and even though we live in different states now that they are adults and attend conventions on our own, we make it a point that once a year we fly and attend the same convention as a family.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I’m a member of the 501st, Rebel Legion and Mandalorian Mercs. I LOVE the charitable aspects of these organizations and I love seeing the children’s faces light up as they see us enter a room as their favorite Star Wars Universe characters.
I also love Disney Villains and currently costume Cruella de Vil with the charity costuming group The 105th. My daughter and I are working on Snow White and the Evil Queen as our next convention costume.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
My Princess Leia hoodie (purchased by my husband from Her Universe some years ago).
