Sci-fi geekettes get ready! Her Universe will be at Dragon*Con 2011. As a fellow sci-fi geekette I understand how difficult it can be to find clothes that we love that fit us. If you’re a female fan of Star Wars and Syfy’s Battlestar Galactica and Warehouse 13 then Her Universe has the clothing for you. The woman behind the chic geek clothing line is none other than actress and entrepreneur Ashley Eckstein, who provides the voice of Ahsoka Tano in the hit animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
After being disappointed in the lack of Star Wars clothing available for women, Ashley decided to take matters into her own hands. She came up with Her Universe, a clothing line for the female fans of sci-fi. Ashley believes that women should be able to express their individual geeky nature.
Boasting over 40,000 fans, Dragon*Con is the largest fan-driven science fiction, fantasy and pop culture convention in North America. Held every Labor Day weekend in downtown Atlanta, the convention will be celebrating its 25th year. Her Universe will be offering exclusive Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica merchandise on the second floor of the Hilton outside the Walk of Fame. Ashley will be at Dragon*Con to meet the fans. You can also check out the Her Universe online store to get your chic geek apparel and accessories.
About the Author
Born on Science Fiction Day, Trish was destined to be a sci-fi geek. It didn’t hurt that both her parents were huge fans of any and all sci-fi, British TV and especially sci-fi on British TV. Some of her earliest memories were watching Doctor Who with her mom. At first she was happy to watch her geeky shows on TV or at the movies. She remembers standing in line for over three hours in Chicago when Star Wars first hit theaters. Even as a kid she knew it would be worth the wait. After seeing the movie she was convinced that it was actually a documentary and that George Lucas had found a way to that galaxy far, far away.Eventually Trish discovered the joys of conventions. From exploring the sets of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis in Vancouver to eating at Syfy’s “Café Diem” at San Diego Comic Con 2010 to attempting to break a world record at Vulcan in Tampa, there hasn’t been a convention yet that Trish hasn’t loved. Attending conventions has become her latest hobby.
Sci-fi isn’t the only genre Trish loves. She considers herself a well-rounded geek who adores superheroes, fantasy, mystery, comedy, adventure and drama with a dash of horror. After obtaining her B.A. in psychology with a minor in dance Trish settled down and had two beautiful girls. She lives with her husband and children outside Tampa, Florida and has added three furry kids as well. One passes for a dog but the other two look suspiciously like polar bears.
