This past weekend I went to DragonCon, one of the largest sci-fi conventions in the world. ‘Doctor Who’ Cosplay: How To Dress Like The Eleventh Doctor. From our partners at Anglophenia: The Eleventh Doctor is a frequently confused man.

Much more so than his (respectively) tormented and war-torn predecessors. This confusion comes out in irrational angry outbursts, or sudden acts of kindness, or the occasional wearing of a fez. It also comes out in his choice of clothes. He’s a man who clings to certain ideas tenaciously, almost as if any challenge to his worldview could plunge him back into that chaos and confusion. He seems oddly hurt when people question his authority, and perhaps slightly bewildered. So when he gets dressed in the morning, he is a man who needs to stick to the stuff he knows. 1: Hair – a kind of public school side-parting which has grown out a bit. 2: Shirt – as you’ll see from the picture above, the Eleventh Doctor wears nice shirts. 3: Tie – well we know what the Eleventh Doctor feels about ties, don’t we?

5: Pants – black and tight, ending a good inch above the ankle when the knee bends. DIY Bow Tie. A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated FNO by DIYing bow ties and neckties from scraps of denim at Madewell – because honestly, who isn’t borrowing a bit of inspiration from the boys this season?

Glue a pin back to the back of the bow. Your velvet bow tie is finished! Homemade fezzes and a Doctor Who party. Last week we said farewell to our friend Ash, who has now moved away to experience new things in new places.

Ash, along with her brother Steve, is the creator of Megacynics, one of the few webcomics I actually read on a regular basis, and one I recommend. A while ago she did a couple of Doctor Who themed comics, and did a considerable amount of drinking research in order to create a whole set of yummy Doctor Who themed party drinks. (Click on the link to see them all.) So we decided Ash needed to have a Doctor Who themed going-away party. I hung styrofoam galaxies in the hall and made a bleach and paint splattered galaxy-ish tablecloth, and made a bunch of fezzes for people to wear, because everyone knows that parties are more fun when they include amusing and thematic attire.
