Really??? That's so surprising, I've seen several Zoe cosplays at different cons just going through the Zoe tag on dw_cosplay and last year there were 3 sparkly catsuit Zoes at the con I'm going to. I've only ever seen one Invasion Zoe though, so I figured she'd be pretty surprised to see that one, and it's my favorite, with the bright red dress and that neon green feather boa! (Color pics make cosplay so much easier!)
I guess she's just never been in the same room as them? (A lot of the cons she does are US based (apparently?) though so maybe that's why?) It was kind of cute though, she was so sad. I made me LOL by going 'Honey, people can't look as cute as you in a catsuit?' and I think one of my friends did the mini-skirt version so she's seen maybe 1 this year?
I want photos! LOTS of photos (I'll even do you a shoutout on my AllThingsGeeky page!)
I'm in America, and we definitely cosplay the classic stuff a lot here, but most cosplayers do tend to do New Who stuff, and it seems like with Classic Who, the earlier the era, the less cosplay it inspires, so it's entirely possible she could miss seeing Zoe cosplayers, since there's usually only one, if any, it seems, at any given con. (I've actually been doing a series of inspiration posts at dw_classic_cos with ideas for patterns and fabrics to inspire people to do more 1st and 2nd Doctor era characters

I keep meaning to do Polly, it's awkward though since I'm not exactly skinny. I think most of the classic people get kinda shy about approaching their people.
You so should! I keep doing the 'I won't do this' thing but yeah... I'm writing a blog now on 'All Things Geeky' on Tumblr and Facebook. DO IT IN COSTUME! They love when you do costume.
Omigosh, please do Polly! I've never seen anyone cosplay Polly, it's one of my dearest fandom wishes to see a Polly somewhere! Go for it! Few of us are as skinny as Anneke Wills, but as long as you get the outfit right, no one will even think twice about that; they'll just be thrilled to see a Polly. I wasn't going to do Barbara because I'm way too short, but I just love her so much and I realized that it doesn't matter if I don't look like her, I just want to proclaim my love for her to everyone I meet, and cosplay is the least obnoxious way to do that. ;D
