Doctor Who Poodle Skirt

Happy Halloween! snow_whisper made this super cute skirt, and it’s a great costume, a combination of TARDIS-love and Doctor Who lore (I’m thinking of “The Idiot’s Lantern”). The rickrack is trimmed with embroidery of the words “Pull to Open”, “Police Box” and of course “Vworp”, leading to the TARDIS itself! She also made a felt fez for a friend who is dressing up as Eleven. I wish I had thought of this. Love it!

Doctor Who Stacking Dolls

The season finale of Doctor Who is Saturday. I’m incredibly excited/sad, especially since Season 7 won’t air until next fall. In the mean time I can ogle this: Doctor Who stacking dolls! Molly23 made the set of 12 stacking dolls: all eleven Doctors (including a teeny tiny William Hartnell) that fit inside a TARDIS! I can’t think of a more perfect way to display your Who love: it really IS bigger on the inside!

The Doctor Who Experience

i kissed a dalekHave you ever wanted to lay a big smooch on a cute little Dalek? Anyone? …Just me? Well, just in case I am not the only one, I thought I’d tell you guys about The Doctor Who Experience in London‘s Olympia, where I got to lay one on this little guy (make love, not extermination).

A couple years ago, I wrote about my trip to the Coventry Travel Museums Doctor Who Experience, and that was amazing. I thought this would be a larger scale version of all the awesome I experienced there–hanging out with the Ood and K-9, taking pictures next to the TARDIS, that kind of stuff…

K niiiiiiineAnd was I ever wrong. The Doctor Who Experience is truly an experience. Buy your tickets in advance and show up early, because you will join a group, and walk into what is basically an episode of Doctor Who, written for you to play in. Matt Smith (as The Doctor) appears on screen through out, to guide you through Daleks, Weeping Angels, and tons more while you help him get his TARDIS back and defeat the Daleks. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say the two children in attendance were not the only ones having a blast. When you come out the other end of the interactive portion, there are more displays, including all of the Doctor’s costumes, and most of his enemies.

I took a picture of The Silence, because…well, you know. The Silence

There was also a great space set aside to show what the Doctor Who writers’ office looks like, and perhaps geekiest of all, an entire display on how the theme music and sound effects are done (and have been done) throughout the series.

There is no shortage of things to make a Whovian go “squee”. I spent at least an hour snapping pictures of all the displays, which include life sized models of four different TARDIS incarnations, a ton of villains, and many of your favorite companions. I can’t recommend The Doctor Who Experience enough. As we were going in, there was a boy about seven years old, dancing in circles and chanting about how excited he was for the exhibition–when we left, goodie bags full from the gift shop, I admit, I was behaving similarly.

It is a running exhibition with dates through (at least) November, so no reason to miss it, The Doctor is counting on you!

READER SUBMISSION: Doctor Strangelove and Doctor Who Embroidery

Doctor StrangeloveApparently we’re having a bit of an embroidery theme around Geek Crafts right now. That’s okay, in fact, it is better than okay when it means we get to see this Doctor Strangelove Embroidery that reader, Megan made to remind her boys, “we don’t stand on people; It’s not nice”. If being the mom to rambunctious boys and a lover of Doctor Stranglelove leads to this, then, heck, I am happy for her!

This fun quote from Doctor Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) isn’t the only geek-tastic embroidery she has on her blog, Embroidnerd, she also has one from MST3K,  a fabulous ode to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and, yes, a TARDIS. Because if  you want to pander to me, you should include a Doctor Who craft in your submission (yes, I am shameless).

Now, I know there is already a Doctor Who embroidery featured on the blog today, but I couldn’t ignore this TARDIS Embroidery! Megan used a felt applique for the TARDIS and put this on organza (doesn’t that sound luxurious? I am sure the TARDIS is happy with it). My favorite thing is the detail, notice it says “Police Box” at the top, and the little instructions on the door are there, as well! Bravo, Megan!
