Think you're a huge TMNT fan? Well, you've got nothing on this woman!

[Utrom Shredder]

I was browsing around the Internet recently when I came across this video, and I thought I'd share it with all of you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i-IodLR1bA

I thought I was an avid fan of the Turtles with my love of the shows and movies and my small collection of action figures. But the woman in the video clearly shows all of us what it's really like to be a true TMNT fan; I guess I'm just not dedicated enough.

"They've taught me to follow my heart." Oh, if only I could make that jump from simple fandom to complete obsession...

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Isn't that Iveyangelo? I've seen those heads before...I think it's her. I'm a little ticked they tagged her vid as wacko... There are worse things she could be obsessed about...but I love the costume! Her brother's a trip, and I couldn't do the ninja turtle diet-- I admire her dedication...

Although I hated that "Follow Your Heart" song..."Pizza Power" is more catchy...

[Jester]

Yep....she is a super fan....and I don't mean she roots for DA BEARS! I remember when we heard she was gonna be on VH1, we were so proud that someone so well known among the fan-base was gonna be on TV.

[Ecto Jedi]

That's just a tad creepy.

[discordiatookie]

I HAVE THE HEAD OF LEONARDO!!!

[Spawn Guy]

Give it back! I need it!

[Kendamu]

That's some hardcore fandom right there. Now only if I could take my Spider-Man, Batman, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Dragonball Z fandom and feed it into my TMNT fandom. Maybe then I might amount to that kind of dedication to the TMNT.

-->> The Ivey's are good friends of mine..

direct connects to Mirage.. and a very sweet and talented family.

Michelle is a hard-core TMNT geek.. i admit.. but she's not psycho..

..This stuff is very inspirational to her and she wants to share it with everyone..


..there is an opposite to the Michelangelo Costume..

Her Pop designed both that and a Bebop one..

.. i gotta be in the Piggy Punky guise during a trip Y2k :: ..






..it costs 20 bux to get your photo taken with a Playboy bunny..

but when ya' Bebop ..it's free..

..

[LogicDonny]

wait you know this women, wow.. I want to shake her hand and bow down.. She is indeed true hardcore fan of the francise. She will probably see the movie 10 times.

[Mindy]

Yep, and she's on this forum, too - as "Iveyangelo", though she'll get a kick out of this again. She has posted a few times to Kevin Munroe in his thread.

As a video editor, it's very scary what you can chop/splice/dice bits of footage to make it look exactly what you want.

So, don't always believe everything you watch on television We are told to, uhm... "compensate" and "do whatever it takes to make it look good".

Never confuse the relation between dedication to fandom with the amount of material posessions and money spent on fandom. Ever.

Here, here.

[Sonic777]

I think it would be cool having the real turtles head and being like mikey.All she needs is a shredder costume for her brother and it's like old times.And if she is reading this.Greetings from
darkness777.

[Raph's Girl]

Yea... some people in some hubs I go to in DC++ found that vid on YouTube the other day and wondered if it was me (Im very well known for my TMNT fandom in DC++). And I was like "Oh.. no..not me but I know her from the TMNT forums."

[jeff the cheff]

Yea I've seen it on youtube. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07034/759180-53.stm


The comments didn't have very much nice to say about her haha

[IveyAngelo]

Hey everyone,

Got told about this topic so I figured I'd jump over and say "HI" And here I thought this topic was dead, but someone has decided to post that crazy show online. It's funny really, they had a lot of fun editing but I'll love to make sure a few things are out about this. Hehehe

First, when they asked me how often I eat pizza I said one to two times a Month. That's right, Pizza is NOT daily, I would get so sick of it by day 3 it wouldn't be funny. I can't stand eatting the same thing over and over again, no matter what it is. It's why I don't like chicken, grew up with it at least three times a week, so now I can't stand the stuff. So if that would kill me off of a chicken, it would do in the full "Pizza" thing too I like Pizza because it's a treat from time to time.

That is just one of the many examples of where they lied about the show. The truth about me, can be found more through my myspace account, and just by talking to me. I'm a normal fan just like anyone else. True I do collect a lot, but that is a hobby which I enjoy doing. Though it does not stop me from living a normal life, I pay all my own bills, I have lots of friends and enjoy many other TV series esp Anime like Fullmetal Alchemist.

One of my top reasons behind collecting which has been left out from interviews, is the fact that I don't want to see the TMNT ever disappear again. TMNT helped me through out my life, before Turtles I was gang beaten 15 to 30 kids at a time. And yes, they were trying to kill me, threw me in front of cars.. thrown me into an iron poll to where I needed stitches across my forhead. TMNT taught me to stand up for myself, and helped teach me to read (which was something School was failing at). If they could help me like that, than they can help others. And they have.

How many people here on this forum have personal memories that make the TMNT so specail to you, where you get onto a board all the time to talk about it? The real gift is the memories that are given.

I collect, cause I know sales helps keep them around. So yes I buy a lot of TMNT stuff. I also collect a lot of rear items, because I love to study the behind the scenes for a long time it was my dream to wear the costumes for the movies or shows. So getting costume stuff, I could study and really feel what it was like touching this stuff... and being there. I love behind the scenes stuff even in comics, so I collect the comic art. A lot of them are master pieces.

I do agree with what people say though, it's not about the collection of stuff that makes a great fan. It's the heart. Being there for them. Through thick and thin and holding onto those great memories. I also enjoy shareing them with millions of other people, which is why I let these shows have their fun and pick on me. Most people who've seen the show and meet me, realize that a lot of the stuff said on there was not true.

Anytime Fred Willard opened his mouth, he lied. The only thing he got right was my name and the city I live in. And just about everytime they cut off of me from talking, they were splicing in lines from another question, or mixing words together. VH1 wants dirt, nothing could be a happy story. So if a story is happy, they make up a new one. Like they interviewed my folks for an hour to two on the front poruch, I got the full interview on tape as we were taping everything they did. My interview was a good 3 hours long up in my room, and that's not to count that they were here for three days.

Oh and the costume scene, we sparred for a long time before I started to fall like that, but at the time I was feeling sick and it was hot outside. Everytime we were like are we done, they were like no they want more. They knew a person outside of the costume, would out last the person in the costume. Which is what happened, and I really got hurt on that last fall.

The full skit with my brother after the fight scene was all one huge joke, he likes to joke around and it's so funny having it all together. I might start putting the REAL videos on youtube, because I love the full joke about my brother. One of which was him saying that I am a lot more dangerous without the costume, and he joked about taking me to court only if I had to wear the costume while there. He's a funny guy and was just in a full out high in front of the camera.

This is not my first time in a story of anytype and it won't be my last time. I was just interviewed for a show in Canada. Who knows, it could do a more realistic show on me, or it could become the next VH1. But as long as you have fun and can laugh at it, it's not the worst thing that can happen. Though many of members on here have been on TV or in the press for one reason or another.

I remember a member on here, Roseangelo being on a TV show for her collection. It was a nice collection, with a cool poster that I never saw before. And showing a puppet she made. She was lucky enough to get onto a real show, that was about the collection and not trying to make her look bad. I was very happy for her.

Heh yeah, I've been reading through those. they're so funny. I still can't believe that it's been favorited over 900 times!

OOPS! I forget about the rules on here about double posting, I'm truly sorry and won't let it happen again (not use to posting on this board. Really sorry about that... if I could delete this post I would).

[Edit: No problem, posts merged.]

wow, u are pretty cool, i love the fact that u can do this, ur the type of fan i wish i could be, i would love to have and do everything u do, but unfortunately i can't afford that, i'm lucky enough that i can buy most of the toys, which is in fact where most of my cash goes, so i'm not able to buy other stuff i want, i think that the turtles are really important to me, and i have been there through the good and the bad, but i still love these guys just as much....and the thing i think that makes these guys so special to me is that they are such a great family, and remind me of when i was a little kid, when life is so much better and simpler. I love to hold onto these memories and like sharing and hearing everyone's which is why i joined this forum, u are my idol

Ivey, I have faith we both will be represented respectfully on Fanatical. They were a really good crew and easy to work with.
