COMIC-CON 2011: Meet Victoria Schmidt, Super Fan

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.
