[RIVER x ELEVEN] Always Brings Me Back To You

Time for some ZANY BRITISH SCI FI.

I kind of held off on getting into Doctor Who for a while, but a friend of mine insisted I give it a shot, and it's easy to say yes to something you can easily stream on Netflix. I started out with the Eccleston episodes and got through the Tennant era just in time for the premiere of Season 5.  It ended up becoming my favorite season because it brought back River Song, who I instantly fell in love with after Forest of the Dead.  Her storyline since Season 6 has gone way the fuck off the deep end, but I still love going back and watching her origins in the series.  I will always love her character's balance of strength, attitude, and emotional fragility.

I made River's black gown from "Time of Angels" for SDCC 2010, and wore it again one week later for Otakon so I could get photos with friends.  Moira and I had to arrange ourselves in clever ways to hide our enormous height difference (I'm like, 5'11" in those heels).  A close-up of the costume can be seen here: windaria.deviantart.com/art/RI…
