So I've finally accepted my geekiness in the fact that yes, I ADMIT IT, I love costumes, always have, and now as an adult I still wanna play dress up.
My mother has a blog,
brokecostumer.blogspot.com and is head of the Costumer's Guild of San Diego. She keeps trying to get me to start sewing. She'll win that ongoing battle I think.
AnyWHO . . .
I've always been one to do costumes, (Halloween being my favorite of course). Then there's the Jareth Masquerade Balls, and the Steampunk Events, and then Repo! Shadowcasting (R.I.P.)
Only as I draw ever nearer to my big 3-0 do I find myself wanting to do the ultimate Geek telltale. . . Cosplay.
Specifically Doctor Who Cosplay.
Not only is it my favorite show but I took my first stab at it last year (2011) at Comic Con last minute, and I stress at LAST MINUTE, by putting together an Amy/11 Metacrisis costume.
But since Comic Con I've been working on 2 cosplays. As screen accurate as I can get them to be, from some of my favorite episodes.

Part of this blog is to help people ID things if I can, and help with finding suitable substitutes where applicable. I've seen other blogs like the one I have in mind, but I really don't agree with some of the colors they choose to say things are or I know for a fact that something is different than what they show.
I will also try to keep it as updated as I can. And if someone can suggest something that is closer than what I post up and I agree, then I will gladly edit it.
