Doctor Who: The Lady Doctors

At C2E2 last April, my friends and I collaborated to make one of our dream cosplay groups a reality: a full group of genderbent Doctors! Doctor Who is a series that is close to all of our hearts, and naturally, we got to thinking of how the show would be different if the Doctor was a woman. We all picked our favorite Doctor and came up with a genderbent interpretation - it was so incredible to see everything come together!

I have to give a shoutout to these amazing ladies. All of them are so passionate about costuming and fandom, and they really put their hearts into making this group happen. I felt so honored being able to spend the day surrounded by my closest friends, celebrating a series that has done so much for science fiction and geek culture as a whole.

Not to mention being dressed as female Doctors felt so empowering. We had several people come up to us on the convention floor and tell us how inspired they were to see a male cultural icon like the Doctor represented by a woman instead. And that, I think, is one of the highest compliments any cosplayer can receive; that a costume inspired and empowered someone else. It was hugely flattering to hear and I found myself tearing up several times throughout the day.

This was, by far, one of the most amazing cosplay experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I love everyone in this TARDIS!

i’m glad my talent is being tall

Keep trying, Megan.

Naw they were there at the beginning!  Their links probably don’t work because they changed their Tumblr names! That will be remedied soon! 

Jill and Duffy live a bit further away from the rest of us, so we don’t get to see them as often!

Jill’s link has been working fine; Duffy’s has been updated! :)

court and megan went mainly to help out a friend, and none of us had the money to go last year. as far as i know, none of us have any plans to go in 2014 because our summer con schedule is usually pretty packed already!

I originally opened up my storenvy last year to sell cute little accessories and jewelry and stuff, but I gave up on it after I got busy with life and things. But I still have a ton of these little bubble mailers lying around and i just want them gone, so I’m gonna start my accessory shop up again! 

This little cutie is currently on pre-order for $3.50 at http://bboutique.storenvy.com/ and I’m gonna work on getting a few more things up over the next few days/weeks, so keep an eye on my store because I’m gonna be updating quite a lot c: and even if you’re not interested, please signal boost! Because the sooner I get my required number of preorders, the sooner I can start shipping them out. Thanks for your support you guys!

No I do not. That’s probably one of my least favorite anime genre ever. Sorry! QQ

I JUST LIKE K-ON!?

But that is in fact my favorite genre! 
Ouran High School Host Club tops the list, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,  Toradora, Lucky Star, Baka and Test… some of these aren’t Shojo, but they basically are in a way.
