I love it when an Invite Works - and Ruffles!

[primsong]

I just want to leave a little post to tell brand-new DWth user nana3 that I am just over the moon that she took up my invite and used it. She's a dear lady whom I work with at our food cupboard and always enjoy the company of in RL, so it's simply grand she's here and willing to give figuring out what a 'blog' is a try.

Not that the rest of you are chopped liver!

Besides that, it's been a good week - my son dressed up as Three for his school's 'spirit week' in red velvet with ruffles and a sonic, and I'm still overly pleased with that. Ah, how soon little geeks grow up to be big geeks! *is happy*

Edited to add a pic! He said "The guys won't get it, but the girls will love it!" (he has his priorities straight in more than one way, apparently)

What an excellent choice for fancy dress :)

Piccies? :)

I've edited it to add one - we seriously wished we had an opera cape, but for cobbling up at the last minute it looked fairly recognizable. He had a few students figure it out and one teacher who stopped him in the hall to ask "Who are you?" and when he replied "the Third Doctor" he got a "YESSSSS! I knew it!!" and a fistbump. Haha!

Quite! He remembered a fluffy white hat we had in our random stuff downstairs - his sister used it in a previous costume in which she was a dandelion. Fetched and brushed, it was pressed into service for an impromptu 'wig'. ^_^ (I can't help but remember Three in 'the Daemons' - when a man in the pub looks at his wild hair and comments on his 'wig' - lolz...)

OMG THAT OUTFIT IS EPIC!!!!!

[blackmare]

Oh, that is brilliant!

[nentari]

Oh wow, that is an awesome outfit!

The ankle-boots even fit him, which was a nice extra to able to add. He's still growing, so sometimes it's a tossup as to whether what we have will work, but yes! Now if I could only find a proper bottle-green velvet coat for him too.

And ever so fashionable! One of these days I'll have to knit The Scarf just so we can play around with Four as well, but I do love the ruffles.

Your son looks so sharp! And that's a fantastic costume! My nephews are obsessed with Doctor Who and Merlin, and I completely understand the beaming pride that comes with that! You son is right: the coolest ladies will get it, and those are good priorities! ;)
