India Fisher has been added to the guest list for Chicago TARDIS. Whilst I'm definitely a part of the crowd that thinks the Eight/Charley duo could have ended a lot earlier than it did, I generally enjoy her on the BFAs and, I must admit, I'm actually quite keen to see how the whole Six/Charley dynamic plays out.

Some of the members of the convention attendees mailing list are making suggestions for other guests. For this year's event. Y'know, the one that's happening in, um, three months. Clearly, these folks have never staffed a con. Well, it's that or they're high as kites...

This weekend, I'm re-listing some items on ebay. The prices for T'Giving weekend flights is starting to wobble downwards, again, so I need the dosh!

Meanwhile, a bit to my surprise, plans for Gallifrey One are already starting to manifest - costuming plans, I mean. It looks like Suzie Costello might come out of retirement, as I've a couple of pals who might be dressing as Jack and Ianto for an afternoon, and

iamradar has mentioned wanting to do Gwen. And I seem to have received a dare from the universe regarding costumes for both The Eighth Doctor and The Rani. When one discovers a stash of pinkish-russet leopard print velour in one's sewing room, what else can one do but decide it must be time to make The Rani's oh-so-1980s red ensemble?

Indeed.

"Mark of" or "Time and"? :)

Um, I forget. I'm generally being prodded along by folks on

dw_cosplay. I *think* the chat is about "Mark of The Rani"...

I was just thinking the other day, what about Romana I? For you?

She wore white, didn't she? White is a really, really bad color for me - even with good makeup, I don't think it could work...

She didn't always wear white! There's a great purple outfit in... uhm.. The Androids of.. Something.

Androids of Tara. Good point, I'll go look it up. Thanks.

Ah yeah, that one. *bad w/ names*

I think the shoulders are just button down eppaulettes with green piping. With some additional button detailing at the shoulders..

I have a purple hat, but it's the wrong shape. Though if I'm recalling the material correctly, it can be reblocked.

The hat, I wouldn't worry about all that much. I've got a friend who's quite the milliner although I suspect that, if I tackle this project as I usually do, I'll end up covering a hat-form with matching fabric, if possible.

Money woez at Casa Cthulhu mean this ain't gonna happen for a while yet but I *think* I saw eggplant-colored cotton velveteen for sale online, and that would be great for both clothes and for hat-blocking, it being cotton and all...

Y'know... I think that could be kinda fun, and none of the materials are too unusual. Purple poly satin, eggplant-colored velveteen, sorta aqua-blue satin for bias binding and covering the buttons.

The hat might be a bit of a challenge, and there's something weird going on with the front of the jacket (buttons on the satin applique which I think are non-functional, as we seen buttons on the lower portion of tunic, between said satin panels).

Need to figure what that detail is on the shoulders, though. I think a pal of mine has the DVD available for researchin' purposes...

And one can't heave a brick without finding a fourth Doctor to hang about with.

honorarydoctor will be at Gally, for sure and I know of at least one other...

Ps - more pix:

Y'know, I think this could be manageable... ;)

Remind me again when it is? I should go, shouldn't I? :D

It's Thanksgiving Weekend - the Friday through Sunday of ditto, I should say.

Unfortunately, my attendance is, once again, in jeopardy. Sigh.
