Doctor Who Experience at Coventry Travel Museum

What trip to England would be complete without a large amount of Doctor Who trivia, sight seeing and, of course, the new Doctor Who Experience at the Travel Museum in Coventry. As soon as my sister-in-law mentioned it, months before our trip, it became a cemented part of our plans. I mean, yes, it is nice to sit in a pub that was once frequented by C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carrol, great to take in the medieval architecture, and wonderful to get real, authentic fish’n’chips. But I’m a geek, and geeks like what geeks like, and this geek likes (loves, actually) Doctor Who.

Brak Costume

If you’re looking for a Halloween costume that is just obscure enough, then discomeat at craftster has got one for you! This is her husband dressed in the Brak Costume she made him for a costume contest. Anybody can pull of a Space Ghost costume, but I think you’ve got to have a certain “I don’t-know-what” to pull of Brak.

Star Trek Dress

Here’s a great Star Trek costume for the ladies from Craftster user AnOrangeMouse. I’ll admit that I’m not a huge Star Trek fan, but for some reason I *love* the uniforms and images in general, from the original TV show.

Send in the geeky costumes! We want to see ’em!

Crime Scene Bathroom

Crime Scene Bathroom

I love themed rooms and this crime scene bathroom by Craftster user blitzkriegbetty is quite creepy. She planned the “‘accuracy’ of my splatters, I use to watch a lot of the criminal shows CSI, Law & Order, NCSI (and I mean A LOT) so I’ve already got my arterial spray, cast-off, and all that good stuff planned out =D” and used a real knife for that towel holder. Cue the Psycho music. Be sure to click through for some more photos.

Star Trek Toddler Costume

Star Trek Costume

Craftster user Rinnial made this Star Fleet uniform for her little girl. I would love to see a whole shipful of toddlers running around in any uniform. She sewed a “…circa 2366-2372 class A uniform (or Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 3-7) with appropriate insignia for a commander…” The insignia is done with fabric paint.
