Angelique

I’ve been geeky since conception. I grew up with a model of the Enterprise in the dining room. My family played the Star Trek board game. Between the Chronicles of Narnia and The Girl with Silver Eyes, fantasy based fiction became my mainstay.

My first cosplay was Jem. I had wavy pink wig, dyed by my mom, gem-star earrings and a rockstar outfit. I was truly, truly, truly outrageous.

To me being geeky is normal. It’s the greatest outlet to express my creativity and my love of science.

If I’m not at work, I’m crafting a costume piece for me or my niece. I’m cooking, reading or possibly binge watching a food competition show.

Geeky Top Ten: Star Trek, Urban Fantasy(Amy Lane, D.B. Reynolds, Ilona Andrews), Resident Evil, Steampunk/ Afrofuturism (the perfect marriage of science and fantasy), Firefly, “Dark” Alice In Wonderland versions (Alice Madness Returns, Malice in Wonderland), Horror Movies, Babylon 5/Battle Star, Police Procedurals, Mythology (modern and futuristic twists)

Brunch Drink of Choice: Sparkling Pear or Sparkling Cucumber
