Thunder Princess

Mine is going to be different. Prior to the Oklahoma City Thunder arriving in 2008, I was not a sports fan. I didn't do OU, OSU. We did not have a pro team. And in my mind, I never understood being a die-hard fan of a city you don't live in or have any connection to. Of course, everyone was a Dallas fan if you live in Oklahoma because it's the closest or whatever.

But I was just like, even when the Hornets came and they spent their two years here, I didn't get attached because they're going to leave. What's the point? Then we got the thunder and I thought, okay, I'm going to go to opening night. The mayor's waving the flag. It looks great. And for the first time, I truly felt like our city came together as one. It wasn't OU or OSU.

It was everybody in Thunder Blue. And it was amazing. And in that moment, I was like, I love this. I saw the advertisement for the Love's Ultimate Thunder fan. I waited, I think, almost into the very last week to enter. And at that time, there was only one other female. And I wanted to be the most over-the-top girly entity. So that's where Thunder Princess came into play.

I have all my jerseys are custom glittered. It says 85. Guess my birthday. I'm a little older. And so I got my big tiara, too, too. I used to wear heels every single game. I am too old for that now. But I wanted to be just this... girly entity that other little girls and girls could look up to and be like, yeah, being a sports fan isn't just for the boys. So that's kind of how I fell into it.

a nice guy we've talked to him and I've even said maybe for me just wear something with thunder on it it doesn't have to be the color or the shirt just anything thunder because that's also what's super important over the course of these playoffs and these conference finals when you look into the crowd of the other team genuinely you don't know why those people are even in the building because they're so like especially the Denver series I felt like nobody was wearing Denver Nuggets stuff and it's like
