Name of Fangirl: Sandrine
Fangirl’s Occupation: Quebec sign language program student
What is her Fangirl interest?
I love Star Wars, (especially SWTCW), Star Trek, Marvel superheroes (including Stan Lee! 😉 ), Firefly and I’m crazy for The Matrix trilogy.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
I had a hard time presenting myself as a Fangirl before, because I thought it wasn’t a thing to be proud of. This all changed the day my friend laughed at me for liking Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I then stood up for myself and answered : “Yeah I love that show, so what?”. He apologized and I felt really happy owning the feeling of being proud of the things I love. I want others to know it’s okay to enjoy the things we love and to share them with others.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I go see Marvel’s superheroes movies with my favorite matching shirts and have a Stan Lee contest with my friends (basically, the first who sees Stan Lee’s cameo points at the big screen and screams his name!) I go to conventions, too, when I can.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
Lâche pas la patate!
(literally means “Don’t drop the potato” = hang in there!)
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
My LEGO Darth Vader light keychain.
