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.
