This past August I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a convention that I have always dreamed about experiencing firsthand, Star Wars Celebration. I was asked to help film for FanGirl TV, a new webseries that focuses on fangirls who love all things geeky. The convention was being held in Orlando, Florida, which is also the home to my lovely blog partner Kristin Fowler (@KristinLFowler), so the decision to accept was a very simple one to make. After a lengthy drive down to Florida, the guys I traveled with (Gary, Brandon & Dave) and I finally arrived and began filming. I was in charge of interviewing the girls we selected to film including Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the brains behind one of my favorite clothing companies, Her Universe. Kristin and I often gush about Ashley's designs on our site On Wednesdays We Wear Pink. I was so overcome with excitement about having the opportunity to interview Ashley, that I completely forgot to be nervous. And once we started chatting, I quickly realized there was never any need to be worried after all because Ashley was nicer than I could've ever imagined! She is very genuine and friendly and you can easily tell how much she cares about her fans and the girls wearing her line. Which is one of the reasons Ashley decided to host a photo shoot at Star Wars Celebration featuring the real girls who wear her clothes as the models. The photo shoot was a lot of fun and you can see the pics on the Her Universe Facebook page.
