    COMIC-CON 2011: Meet Victoria Schmidt, Super Fan

    By Jonathan Crow | Movie Talk – Wed, Jul 20, 2011 6:24 PM EDT

    Publicists are flooding into San Diego, street vendors are selling T-shirts with obscure comic book references, and black-clad teens are lining up to catch a glimpse of their favorite "Twilight" star. Yes, it's Comic-Con season. But apart from the panels and the parties, what really symbolizes Comic-Con is the costumes. What would that annual gala to geekdom be without legions of fans decked out as the Joker, Lara Croft, or the odd Jedi?

    Meet Victoria Schmidt, who takes the whole dressing-up thing to another level. By her own admission, she spends the entire year and most of her monthly paycheck on getting a guise just right, be it Princess Leia or Kate from "Lost." Click on the video below and see someone who takes Comic-Con very, very seriously.

    Everyone from Yahoo! Movies is going to be in San Diego this weekend. Tell us what to check out at Comic-Con.

      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        Leia. Spell it right.
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        People should stop being so anal about spelling and grammar. >.>
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        people should learn how to spell the name of one of the most iconic female characters in film.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      wow she is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!! i only wish i could do that!!!!!
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        She needs to get a life. I swear you people don't know the meaning of the word 'hero' because she isn't one....well except to another loser.
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        Well she could be a pretend hero if she is wearing a super hero costume. Works for me.
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        She has a life and at least she seems happy doing it unlike you, Angelina who only gets their kicks from being an unimaginative moron who looks down on others.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  9 months ago
      Good thing she's pretty hot, or it would just be sad.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Man how awesome, she's got amazing talent 4 sure. :D Hmm I think she would be an awesome Cosplayer too!
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        How is this not already cosplay?
      • A Yahoo! User 9 months ago
        Cosplay is dressing up to resemble a character/person....therefore what she's doing IS cosplay. I'm guessing you're just thinking of the anime cosplays, which she would probably be good at as well.
      • A Yahoo! User 9 months ago
        Yeah I forgot that she actually cosplayed X,X
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Ok, SHE made my day!!! lol. The Force is strong with this one!
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        Well played!
    • A Yahoo! User  •  9 months ago
      So cool. So very, very cool.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Someone needs to get her out of her office job and into Hollywood. She has true talent.
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        more likely she'll end up rejected from Hollywood b/c she has no "real-world" talent even though she's done more than 90% of all interns combined
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        umm... I would say it's not really talent. It's devotion.
      • A Yahoo! User 10 months ago
        it is a talent if you could make costumes like that, it involves artistic skills, shes very crafty and creative. And hollywood would be lucky to have her as a costume designer.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Has she ever seriously considered being a costume designer?
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Somebody hire her as a costume designer. NOW!
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Her boyfriend is soooooo lucky. How about Lara Croft tonight? Wait no! I've been naughty... Catwoman!
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Wow this chick is amazing, good for her and her man giving in to their creative impulses
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      I like it.looks like fun but maybe she should turn your passion into a profession.just a thought
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      I wish I could do that, too! And she looks so GOOD in them...
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Where are these women hiding? Her boyfriend is so lucky.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Love people who have a passion
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      Quite A Beautiful, Talented Lady. Someone In Hollywood Should Sign Her Up. Costume Design; Why Not?
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      everyone has their projects so why not i say
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      I think this is soooo cool. I love her passion and her dedication to detail.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      I can't help but feel that if this was a guy, people would be calling him a loser.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  10 months ago
      I WANNA GOOO! I have DragonCon, but sadly I'm stuck with Padme cosplay since I'm pregnant this year. So no Trish, Zatanna, Circe, Silent Hill nurse, or She-ra. *pout* Conventions are SO much fun.
