Ladies and Gentlemen, my mom: Part Deux
Not content with last year's Dalek cake decorations, this year my mom has decreed that we shall have a Who-themed COSTUME PARTY for my cousin's 30th. She originally interpreted this as "dress like anyone the Doctor could conceivably have met during his travels" and was very annoyed at me for pointing out that as far as I know, he's never been to Turkey,* so the hours she spent at the garden store picking out just the right gold flowerpot to wear on her head were probably in vain. Despite fezzes being cool. But hey, when you ask a nitpicking nerd for costume advice, YOU'RE GONNA GET SOME GODDAMN COSTUME ADVICE.
Ultimately, I convinced her to stick some feathers on it and turn it into an Aztec-goddess style headdress, a la Barbara in "The Aztecs." And my dad, OF COURSE, will be the Brig. He already has the sweater and the faintly bemused military bearing; I've got him a UNIT patch and taught him to say "five rounds rapid," and it's gonna be PERFECT.
As for me, I'm going to bust out the awesome black and silver outfit that artnouveauho made and pretend I'm lurking around the corners of Louis XIV's court trying to avoid clockwork men.
* At least, he's never been to Turkey on the show. I'm sure that somewhere in the vast Whoniverse of books and audio plays, there's something that'll prove me wrong. tubewhore, over to you!
