Whovian Week: Makeup Tutorial Me

In the past month, I've started to watch beauty vloggers and pay more attention to my daily beauty/makeup routine. So I decided to type up "Doctor Who Makeup Tutorials" and boy did I find a lot! I think it's great that there's not only tutorials on how to do your make up like The Ood or a Weeping Angel, but also for Amy, Rose, Clara, and even Sarah Jane. Here are a few I found on the interwebs.

 

 

She has also done makeup tutorials for all of the companions. It's pretty cool.

An Adventure in Space and Time is airing on BBC 2 tonight, but we'll get to see it tomorrow on BBC America. For now here's a clip with David Bradley as William Hartnell, Jessica Raine as Verity Lambert, and Sacha Dhawan as Waris Hussein.

 

 

Finally here are pictures of current and former Doctor Who stars arriving at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the 50th. Also that wax figure of Matt Smith as Eleven is kinda creepy.

 

 

 

 

 

 







 

 

 



 

Whovian Week: Dress Like the Classic Doctors: Part Two

Round two of my Classic Doctor Who outfits. Like I said previously, recreating the Sixth's outfit was a little challenging because of his crazy colorful coat. So I decided to pull colors from the coat and create a sort of punk outfit out of it. Speaking of the Classic Doctors, it makes me very excited to hear that some of are going to, or already have, be a part of the 50th Anniversary after all!

Whovian Week: Dress Like the Classic Doctors: Part One

Two years ago, I created outfits inspired by Nine, Ten, and Eleven. For the 50th Anniversay, how about I go even further and tackle Doctors One through Eight. I'm doing this in two parts, so today it will be One to Four and tomorrow Five to Eight. Just thinking how I'm going to create an outfit from the Sixth Doctor is getting my creative juices flowing.

Since there were not a lot of pictures of Three in Polyvore, I used this picture as inspiration for the outfit.

Whovian Week: The Night of the Doctor

A few days ago, The BBC debut a prequel short "The Night of the Doctor" and to my (and basically every ones surprise) it served as how the Eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann, went through his regeneration process. It was unfortunate that he only got to play the Doctor on screen for one TV movie on Fox (although he has done plenty of radio programs as Eight). Imagine if an episode of Rosanne didn't clobber them in the ratings and it became an "Americanized" show. I honestly don't think it would be the same. Anyways, I've lost count on how many times I've watched it. There's  the finality with the Eight Doctors regeneration, but there are still some questions such as how does John Hurt as the "War Doctor" bridge the gap between Eight and Nine and more over, will we ever see Christopher Eccelston make an appearance. The latter will be highly unlikely given how vocal he is about his not so great experence while working on Doctor Who. But you never know, the Doctor does lie after all.

Then there's this clip, shown during BBC's Children in Need Special. Here Eleven and Clara are reunited with Kate Stewart aka, The Briagdier's Daughter, a high ranking member of UNIT. They are at a museum, investigating the mysterious disappearance of figures in some paintings. As he starts figuring out what the cause is, a portal pops ups all of a sudden and of course he throws the fez in before himself. Who happens to pick up the fez and put it on right away? Ten of course. The look on there faces when they discover each other is priceless and it make me even more giddy with excitement for the 50th episode. 

Whovian Week: 50th Doctor Who Party

In honor of The 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who this Saturday, I'll be posting all things Whovian this week!

After months of waiting, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is only 6 days away. EEP!
While some of us will be watching the 3D simulcast of the episode in select theaters, a majority of us will be watching it in the comfort of our homes.

So what better way to watch is than to gather some of your favorite fellow Whovians and have a party. 

Here are some ideas for the most fantastic Doctor Who party.

Food

No party is complete without food and here are some fun suggestions.

Games

For adult parties, there's always the DW Drinking Game. But there are some really good fun family games too.

Guess the Character

All you need is some index cards or paper. Write the name of a DW character and pin it to the back of your guests as they arrive. During the party, everyone will try to guess who they are but only by characteristics/personalities. 

Costume Contest 

You can't have a DW party without everyone coming in costume. Have different categories, such as Most Creative, Best Doctor and Companion, and Best Villain. 

For more creative games, you should check out the Doodle Craft blog. So many fun ideas! Pin the Face on Cassandra is my favorite. 

Decor 

If you're looking for some cute Doctor Who fabric for a tablecloth or photo booth backdrop, you should definitely check out Spoonflower and the plethora of artist made fabric. If that's out of your budget, there's also some awesome fabric choices too. 

I might have to go to my local JoAnn's and get this fabric for myself.

With stores stocked with holiday decorations, there's bound to be enough silver star garland to use with your hearts content. 

Oh and don't forget your Standee!

Who wouldn't want a Ten standee at their party... or room. Ehehe.

Do you plan on having a Doctor Who viewing party?
