Dinna ken - I joined doctoreleven in spite of its elevenishness, just for the lolz. There's also pond_life if you want another angle.

Oh, they're plenty enthusiatic, bless 'em. It's just...I'm a bitter old Q, and I like a bit of cantankerous elderly snark with my squee.

The second one promises picspams tho! And, err, people going on about his arse. For some reason.

At least with Eleven you can tell where it is.

True, Tennant's arse was missing in action.

I used to know a skinny little kid who was nicknamed 'the buttless wonder'. You just reminded me of that.

Cosplay Eleven dressed as Ten? Or without his jacket?

qthewetsprocket January 4 2010, 21:21:09 UTC

*ponders*

Jacketless Eleven I could probably do. Eleven dressed as Ten would just confuse people, though; they'd just think I was being Ten. *points to own sharp weaselly face, deviated septum, brown eyes and disobedient dark hair*

Aww. Is it the wool you're allergic to?

I should totally cosplay Eleven. Finally, a Doctor who looks reasonably like a male version of me. My fashion sense is most in line with Three but I am by no means a long-shanked knave with a mighty nose.

Aww. Is it the wool you're allergic to?

Yes. Violently. :(

And Ten was the Doctor I really had the best shot at cosplaying, since we have similar faces (ie sharp and weaselly with a deviated septum) and very similar coloring. And I've got the specs already, but I could never find a brown pinstripe suit at a thrift store, so it kind of never happened.

Someone must have a fake-wool tweed somewhere... unless merely being in the tweed section of the thrift store does you in.

I have floppy nondescript-brown hair and a bluntish face and a short rounder-than-Ten figure. I think I could pull this off before my convention in July...

I'm going to try to cosplay fem!Lolita!Eleven. Even though I am a short Asian woman (I'm hoping that the EGLesque of Eleven's costume will bridge that whole "short cute Asian woman" gap that I have with Matt Smith).

I'm sorry that you can't wear wool. :( Perhaps you can find a cotton alternative printed like tweed?

qthewetsprocket January 5 2010, 07:21:07 UTC

I might; but an item like that is probably going to be pretty tough to find at a thrift store...if someone's allergic to wool and went to all the trouble of finding a cotton replacement, then they're not going to be too likely to get rid of it.

Ah well. For now, since my hair's still pretty short, I can still rock an emo!Master track suit / hoodie. >:)
