Doctor Who is exceptionally fantastic. I absolutely love watching the episodes with my brother (not pictured :( ) and being able to spend time with him in that way (he’s one of my best friends, and sometimes we just don’t get to spend time together). (I’m also getting my mum and nieces into it ;D) It also gives me a creative outlet in not only drawing, but creating costumes/cosplay as you can see from the TARDIS dress and Fem!Eleven I was able to create for myself. :D
It also gives me and my other best bud (Sir Dalek there) something incredibly fun to do together. We only get to see each other a couple/few times a year and in the last two; one of those times spent together is a weekend at a convention in Doctor Who cosplay. :D It’s amazingly fun and lovely to ham it up with one of my closest friends (I don’t know how many times I nodded to another Doctor and just said, “Doctor.” in passing lol ❤). :)
So, thanks Doctor Who. You’re pretty brilliant.

Thanks so much for following me! Please, do make yourself at home, have a spot of tea (a snack, perhaps, if you’re peckish), and I do so hope you enjoy your stay! :D ❤❤❤
kitsaria replied to your photoset: So, corset fitting/trying on is being thrown…
Carla! You’re such a cutie patootie. ♥

The Minnesota Senate passed marriage equality today! By a margin of 37-30, the senate approved the measure, which was approved by the house on Friday. It will now go to Governor Dayton, who has pledged to sign it.
So, corset fitting/trying on is being thrown together with Arthur Shappey dressing up, as that’s the day I was Arthur. Makes sense, no?
Anyhoo… I was Fem!Arthur, and it was fine, I s’pose. I just wasn’t the most satisfied with the result as I was working on it until the morning of wearing it (hemming the morning of, woo!). I really only put it off, along with my other two costumes because of personal stuff that just really put me down for a few days that made me not want to finish. I won’t get into it now (and probably won’t), but, yes…
Anyway, made the vest out of a thrifted button up, as I’m not about to pay between ten and some odd dollars for a used vest that I’m only going to wear for a costume (and besides, I could only find leather ones O_o). I will most definitely fix it up, as it wasn’t technically finished. I also couldn’t find my black skirt to wear with it, so I ended up wearing my black plaid shorts to be a bit of a Fem!punk Arthur (with so many fanarts of punk characters being created, I thought, why not? Also with the purple hair, it’s not that much of a stretch you’d think ;) ).
Then that day, I finally bought some goggles, as I’ve wanted goggles for a long while. Then when I saw the pictures my friend took of my trying on of the corset (along with the goggles), I’ve come up with Fem!Steampunk Arthur Shappey, steward of the zeppelin, hooray!!!
“Airships are brilliant, aren’t they, Skip?!”
I’m sorry…
So yes. The corset ones were the only shots I really liked for the day, as my hair was frightful for most of it (was terribly windy), and I was so tired by weekend’s end, so, you get Fem!Steampunk Arthur Shappey, which I don’t believe is really a bad thing at all. :) ❤
But yes, there are the last images of myself in costume at Anime Detour. Twas a fun weekend all around and I had a wonderful time with my lovely best friend…
Oh. You’re wondering what he was dressed as/who Arthur was hanging out with for the day? Well…
Fresco Jesus is brilliant.
Enjoy, my lovelies.
Hearts,
Carla ❤❤❤
