Yeah, Yeah, I'm Supposed To Be Working...

Okay, so... maybe I can be sold on the cosplaying Romana I thing - even if I am a foot shorter and 20lbs heavier than Mary Tamm...

Outfit suggestions? With screenshots/URLs if possible, pls.

Bonus points for anything not white. Just as I am not one of nature's blondes, it takes a lot of work (makeup trowel and corsetry) for me to get away with wearing white...

Gallifrey One Update Of Doooooom

This has been re-posted from Doctorwhoforum.com (formerly Outpost Gallifrey)

As ever, you can visit Gallifrey One's Gallifrey One's website for all the nitty-gritty, too.

Of particular note: there will not be the usual slew of sorta-related actors offering autographs in the dealers' room - there just ain't the space - and there's been some tweaks to the photograph and autograph procedures.

( Big ol' summary of what to expect at Gallifrey One, 2009 )

Here We Go Again...

Hmm...

I think I need to find a copy of Power of Kroll - or some better screencaps, online.

(I'd buy the Key to Time box set if I could afford it, honestly I would. As it is, it's awaiting tax-refund time, if that...)

Romana's costume has a rather funky mod-60s thing going on with it. Not sure if I can quite pull off the black I-guess-you'd-call-it-a-faux-Empire-waist piecing with the shape I am, but it's worth a go.

Hm. I would probably want to try draping a starting bodice for this from scratch, which will be a challenge as I keep forgetting that Barbarella is much wider in the shoulders and back than I am.

But the actual construction of the thing, aside from the shoulders looks like it could be pretty easy. I might even have slacks already in the closet that would work.

I wonder what sort of shoes she's wearing?

Hmm....

Oh well, I have lots of time to think about it, as unless some local fabric store has a sale of truly epic proportions I'm not buying any material any time soon. Despite temptation otherwise...

(I definitely need a costuming icon!)
