Might be because it’s red on the DVD box art! Also red registers as fairly light on B&W film (without glaring the way true white would) so it was a common choice. Good contrast while still maintaining detail.

I’m trying to document my past costumes, but it’s an ordeal. Also trying to be more comfortable in front of the camera again. Have a silly one for reading along :) x

This was an early layout for the trim done in Illustrator, not too far off from the final version. And once again, thankful for my friend Molly for shaping up my wigs!

I expected this one to be more recognizable! It seems the the red trim threw some people off, but Wendy Padbury herself confirmed it was the correct color ☺️

These are the closest I’ve found, I think I might have just been having a fuzzy memory moment (or those old VHS copies were fuzzy!)

Hey @quod-matter.bsky.social can you confirm whether I’ve gone mental?? I saw these caps in a store and they remind me of one that Emma wore (with a catsuit?) but now I can’t find photos of her in anything closer than a newsboy cap.

Happy Space Mardi Gras to those who celebrate. Remember to wear your festive head gear, as long as it is of the period!

In addition to Zoe from The Krotons, for @gallifreyone.bsky.social I’ll be rewearing these four costumes. At some point I’ve got to get more consistent photo documentation than hotel mirror selfies!

Just over a week before I fly out to @gallifreyone.bsky.social, and I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t still very deep in costume creation mode. (Those white bits are just paper! 😬)

I’m so pleased to announce that I’ll be paneling about cosplay at @gallifreyone.bsky.social this year - Classic Who and B7 being my favorite domains! If you’ve got any questions about my unconventional process, here’s a time to ask them (or for the unfiltered version, at the bar in the evenings 😂)

A 2016 throwback to working on my friend John’s film in Austin TX: when my job was literally neck breaking! Still staring at monitors, but much more ergonomically.

Fifty years ago introduced the world to Tom Baker’s Doctor, and he was the first incarnation I ever saw. Meeting him was an unexpected opportunity, a highlight of the year!

I could write my own, just as long, version of Lister’s rant from Timeslides.
“I’m just totally, totally sick of it.”
