Doctor Who Blog Party ❘ Party Link-Up


Ready to hear my answers to the DW party tag that Tasha has up on her blog? Well then, keep on reading!

1| If you decided to name your first born child after any Doctor Who character, male or female, who would it be?

Well, even before DW I had always loved the name, Rose.


2| What is your favorite colour of the Doctor's shoes?

Red hands down.

3| Look around yourself and name the one thing that is TARDIS blue in your house!

My Nila Anthony cross-body bag and my one blouse from OASAP!

4| If you could pick who plays the Twelfth Doctor which actor would you choose and why?

Gosh! No clue. I'll just leave it up to the BBC casting, they have done an excellent job so far.

5| The Doctor is going back in time again, which historical era should he visit?

Hmm...Paris during the Reign of Terror.

6| Would you REALLY go with the Doctor in the TARDIS?

Yes, think of all the wonderful things you could see! BUT, he would have to promise that I would come back home safely and in a timely manner {and not like one year later}.

7| Who's your favorite Doctor and why?

Gosh! I love the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctor. But, if I really have to narrow it down....I've come to really enjoy the 11th Doctor {even though 10 has a special spot in my heart, he was my first!}. 11 is so light hearted, fun, wears a bow tie, and is unafraid to be clumsy & ridicules. But hey, I can relate to that. Then again, I really like the 10th Doctor {though his storyline can be so sad & tragic it hurts. He keeps loosing everyone he cares about!} so maybe he is my favorite. Oh, I don't know!


8| Would you be afraid to spend Christmas in London?

Nope, I think I would rather enjoy. I don't get why Whovian's can be afraid to spend Christmas in London. You would have a higher chance to run into the Doctor. *wink*

9| Do you look at an ordinary screwdriver and think 'this could be a bit more sonic?'

Of course!

10| Angel statues, plastic mannequins, Christmas trees - what ordinary everyday object would you love to make an object of terror to Whovians were you Steven Moffat?

Silverware. Sewing Machines. Television sets. Doors. Rugs.

11| The TARDIS lands in your garden and the Doctor steps out. What is the first thing you say to him?

What!? WHAT!?! *runs to the TARDIS and the Doctor* You came! *gives him a hug* I've been wondering if you would ever stop by. By the way, where are we going to travel too? *as I walk into the TARDIS*

12| Who is your favorite actor who has played the Doctor so far and why?

David Tennant. First off, he is an amazing actor, is a huge fanboy of the show, Scottish, and has amazing hair. I also just love the energy and sadness he brings to the Doctor {those sad brown eyes always get me}.


13| Have you seen any Classic Doctor Who? If so, which Doctor/episode(s) is your favorite?

No, I haven't.

14| Which are the creepiest, scariest and all-out meanest baddies in all the Who-niverse?

The silence and the baby weeping angles.

15| Who is/are your favorite Companion(s) and why?


I love Rose, because she is the true love of the Doctor and they work so well together {her & 10 act very giddy together and are like two teens in love. It is so sweet!}.


Donna, she is witty and thinks she is unimportant and I love the brother-sister relationship she has with the Doctor.


Amy & Rory Williams are simply wonderful together {I really like Rory}. At first I didn't like either of them, but once Rory became a Roman he became awesome! 


Captain Jack Harkness is great too. He has one of those epic coats that 10 & Sherlock have. *smile* You know what I would love to see? Captain Jack and River Song in an episode together. 

16| Did you cry more watching Doomsday or The Angels Take Manhattan?

Doomsday with no doubt. Every time I watch it I hope Rose can hold on. It also marks the first time I cried for a television show {and I never cry}. The Angles Take Manhattan was more a bitter sweet and not as sad as Doomsday is since Amy & Rory get to grow old together. The Doctor & Rose didn't have that chance in their parting.


17| What is your favorite quote from the show? 

I have a good number of favorite quotes from the show.

Jackie:: I'm going to get killed by a Christmas tree. 
........
Rose:: But he's not you.
The Doctor:: He needs you. That's very me.
.........
Donna:: Isn't traveling with you one big spoiler?
The Doctor:: I try to keep you away from major plot developments. Which, to be honest, I seem to be very bad at.
.......
The Doctor:: I'm making perfect sense, you're just not keeping up.
.......
Donna:: I'm in my wedding dress!
The Doctor:: Yes, you look lovely! Come on!
.......
The Doctor:: Stay away from that door! Do not touch that door!
Listen to me, do not open that door.
Why does no one ever listen to me? Do I just have a face that nobody listen to? Again?
.......
The Doctor:: Go to your room. 
Go to your room! I mean it. I'm very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross. Go... to... your... room!  
I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.
........
The Doctor:: This is my timey wimey detector...it goes 'ding' when there's stuff.  And it can boil an egg at thirty paces, whether you want it to or not actually.  I've learned to stay away from hens.  It's not pretty when they blow.
.......
The Doctor:: Go now! Don't drop the banana!
Captain Jack:: Why not?
The Doctor:: Good source of potassium!
.....
Captain Jack:: Who has a sonic screwdriver?
The Doctor:: I do!

Captain Jack:: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "Ooh, this could be a little more sonic."?

The Doctor:: What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?



18| Which Doctor (including all previous regenerations) would you most like to be the companion of, and why?

That's a really good question. I guess for the 10th Doctor.

19| Which of the following are you more scared of, the Daleks, Cybermen, or the Weeping Angles?

Cybermen. With the Daleks you are killed right away, and with the angles you are just zapped back in time to live your life.

20| Who are some of your favorite guest stars in the series?

Katherine Jankins, Michael Gambon, and Carey Mulligan are the first who popped into my mind. I'm sure there are others.

21| What was your first experience with Doctor Who and how did you hear about the series?

Hmm...I first watched a fan video with the 11th Doctor on Facebook back in December of last year. Tried to find an episode on YouTube, then kinda forgot the show. Then in May{?} my sister Gabrielle got me hooked on the show by having me watch the episode Blink. I've been a Whovian ever since.



22| The Ninth Doctor said, 'Fantastic!', Ten said, 'Allons-y', and Eleven says, 'Geronimo'; what would you like to be the signature exclamation of the Twelfth Doctor?

I have no clue what so ever.

23| If you were trapped in an episode, which one would it be?

Partners in Crime. Not sure why, but I love watching this one over, and over again.

24| Which is your favorite episode with each Doctor (Nine, Ten and Eleven)?

Nine:: Rose, Father's Day, The Empty Child, and The Doctor Dances.

Ten:: The Christmas Invasion, New Earth, School Reunion, The Girl in the Fireplace, The Idiot's Lantern, Doomsday, The Runaway Bride, Smith and Jones, Blink!, Partners in Crime, The Doctor's Daughter, Forest of the Dead, Silence in the Library, The Unicorn and the Wasp, The Stolen Earth, and Journey's End.

Eleven:: A Christmas Carol, The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang, Vincent and the Doctor, Let's Kill Hitler, Closing Time, Asylum of the Daleks, The Power of Three, and The Angles Take Manhattan.

25| After watching a certain Doctor Who episode, did you summon up the courage to try fish sticks and custard? 
I have the courage to try it. I just need to remember to make pudding the next time with have fish.

Doctor Who Blog Party ❘ Q&A Costume videos with Louise Page


Hi, everyone! Excited for the first day of the DW blog party? I know I am. Everyday this week you will want to visit my & Tasha's blog's, as we are both posting something daily for the event. And of course, you don't want to miss out on any of the fun! *smile*

Alright, I have some thrilling videos to share with y'all today. Short interview videos with Louise Page, costume designer of Doctor Who from the David Tennant years. Yep, I stumbled across these while researching DW costumes a few weeks ago. But I refrained from sharing them anywhere instead I  saved them to share with y'all during the blog party.

How DT's shoes were picked for his costume as the 10th Doctor.

Who did you enjoy dressing the most? What are your favorite costumes during your time on Doctor Who?


What was it like taking over the costume department of an established show? Did you have a large archive of clothes from series one? f


About the "Girl in the Fireplace" tie that DT wears.

About DT's first tie in the Christmas Special.


What can you tell us about the glasses DT wore? How did the idea come about, and where did they come from?


When shopping for Billie Piper did you shop as if you were Rose and limit yourself to the brands and labels you felt she could afford?


If you would like to see more of these Q&A type videos be sure to check out the blog, Making My Tennant Suit {which is where I discovered these videos}.

Sunday Style | Floral + Polka-dots

What I'm Wearing: Jacket Second-hand {Target} // Blouse Tank ELLE at Kohl's // Jean Pencil Skirt made by me // Polka-dot Tights J.C.Penny // Pumps Famous Footwear // Bow Earrings F21 // Necklace c/o OASAP

Today's outfit came together last night when I was putting outfits together for this necklace from OASAP and for a J.Crew knock-off of the bauble necklace {yes, I finally found one!}. I rather like this outfit, as it is kinda dramatic, which can be very me {fashion wise that is}. I also love the mix of hard and soft between the jacket & tank/blouse.

How was your Lord's day today? After Church this morning this is how I spent the rest of my day: Me & Gaby fixed & styled each other's hair {she did the hairstyle featured in these pictures}, we also sung The Girl in 14 G, and I watched a bunch of West End videos on Youtube {Alfie Boe, Ramin Karimloo, & Lee Mead mostly}. While this evening I worked on blog party posts for this week, did a photo-shoot, and sang The Phantom of the Opera with my sister Hanne-col {I was the Phantom}.
