TimeLord Thursday – Who Crack revival this Sunday, Goodnight Pond and more

Posted on June 15, 2012 by TimeSiren Posted in 'round the 'net, Cosplay, Creative Madness, Doctor Who, Doctor Who Videos, Five and Dime Fangirls, Gallifrey One Leave a comment

First is big news for the Five and Dime Fangirls – we are going to be showing our first Who Crack Video Track at the Time Meddlers meeting at the LASFS this coming Sunday, June 17. It will show in the afternoon, sometime after 12:00 noon and is the perfect 1-hour of Doctor Who music videos, archaic Dalek t.v. commercials and hilarious interview goodness for the newbie to the genre and the old hand who loves classic episodes. If you’re local, DON’T MISS IT!

Goodnight Pond

We’ve caught wind that there is going to be a release of a sweet, new bedtime story book called, Goodnight Pond. Due out later this month, if it lives up to its cover and the theme of the story that inspired it, it will be an adorable book for WhoFans of any and all ages. Sign up on their mailing list here.

Hanging on for the next Gally

We on Twitter’s #gally hashtag always talk about how great this year’s Gally was and count the days to the next one. It’s hard to keep things alive between Gallys, especially when we have months until the next episode. Things that help are reviews of the last Gallifrey, even better when they include pics AND pics we didn’t catch in other reviews. This breakdown of praedestinatio’s LiveJournal’s Gally days experience helps keep the Gally withdrawl blues away. Thank you, praedestinatio!

That’s it for now. Check back next Tuesday for more Who news to keep us all alive until the new series premieres!

During the dry spell between series of Doctor Who, I am determined to keep myself busy with all things Who happening off telly. If there is something cool out there, I’ll bring it in here and we can all squee over it, enjoy it or politely clap – whichever you feel inclined to do.

With this in mind, I hit paydirt today in the form of some beautiful cosplay featured on the Doctor Who Cosplay Livejournal forum. I just couldn’t pass these up…

Cosplay Bliss in the Halls of Asgard

Posted on April 16, 2012 by TimeSiren Posted in Cosplay Leave a comment

 

Cosplayers are a wonderful breed of people. Adults, teens and kids who are not afraid to dress up as their favorites heroes/characters/icons and go out in public for all to see. Costuming is not new – people have been doing it for thousands of years and yet it still amazes me when they get stares from the “mundanes” around them (mundanes being those who neither costume nor understand why other people costume).

This past week, I had the privilege helping a costumer achieve her dream, even if only in giving encouragement through the creation stages of her outfit and crash space while she was out here from New York. I shook my head as she told me the sad tale of her significant other’s subtle yet poisonous attitude towards her efforts of creating her latest, greatest costume and of her desire to meet her idol, Tom Hiddleson, the wonderful actor behind the devious and handsome visage of Loki, God of Mischief in last year’s movie, Thor, and its follow up story, The Avengers, set to open in the U.S. May 4th.

The tale is doubly sad as her naysayer himself used to costume in days gone by, but now feels it is too much of an effort  for no payoff. I HATE when I hear tales of this sort and it is a lesson to all non-costumers to beware when you tread on the dreams of others. “Lady Loki” appeared on hollywood.com’s live feed of the Hollywood red carpet premiere of The Avengers as she was interviewed by Marvel themselves, so impressed were they with her costume. She also got to meet her idol, Tom, and give him a present of something he is well-known to treasure – a gift of music.

It can sometimes be too easy to give up on your dreams. You have to want something so bad it is a driving force to be able to manifest it when the odds are against you, but rest assured that when you do want something that badly, it will come to pass. Like many of us in science fiction/fantasy genre fandom, Lady Loki has a large support group in the Tom Hiddleson fan community, but they are more than just a bunch of fans. The emotional involvement and camaraderie of the cosplay community is not unlike an extended family – Gallifrey One and its Doctor Who community are the ones special to my husband and myself and have been for over 25 years. For Lady Loki, she has discovered this as she and they support each other in hard times as well as rejoice with each other’s personal victories, such as when one of them get to meet their mutually-admired actor in the flesh. At a premiere where there were thousands of Marvel fans lining the streets of Hollywood Blvd., the philosophy of following your bliss played out beautifully as a single actor met a single woman, reaping the rewards that will never be realized by those who do not believe in the power of dreams.

Lady Loki’s Marvel interview can be seen here at time code 1:16:15.
She can be reached via her Facebook page and Twitter handle of @Lady_of_Misrule.

Amy Pond Cosplay Gathering – Gallifrey 2012

Posted on October 15, 2011 by TimeSiren Posted in Cosplay, Creative Madness, Doctor Who, Gallifrey One Leave a comment

The peeps who brought you the Amy Pond Paradox at DragonCon are at it again! They are organizing another photoshoot for Gallifrey One 2012. Costume/outfit choices are going to be on a first-come, first-serve basis. They are also looking for a photographer since the one at DragonCon won’t be there for Gally. If anyone knows one who will be attending the convention that would like to do it, please contact me and I’ll put them in touch with you. It is tentatively set for Saturday but at this point the date has not yet been finalized. Stay tuned for more info as it comes in. (photo by Christa J. Newman)

Hmmm…they must be writers. When we first saw them, they had drinks in their hands. We could tell they were writers from that and the English accents, but in case you missed those clues, well, they wanted to make it easier for us to spot them. They were very friendly, by the way.

Where the hell did this woman get so many ribbons already? The convention hasn’t even officially started yet!!!

My Tonner doll has already found his TARDIS…proof that the Doctor can find it anywhere in the universe.

The first costume we saw coming into the convention. Very nice and proof that Dr. River Song drinks.

5th Doctor & Captain Jack Harkness cosplayers. Very nice.
