BlunderGirl Whovian in all 12 of the Doctors.
So I asked Amanda when she developed he love for the Doctor and his world?
"I first watched Doctor Who as a suggestion from Netflix,
around 2012. I wasn't instantly as
obsessed with it as I am now. In fact, I really only got partway
through series 3 and then stalled for a few months. But a
friend at work was really obsessed and told me to keep
going...so I did. Late 2013, you might remember, was the
50th anniversary of the show. I saw a pin on pinterest
advertising Whofest in Dallas as a celebration. I have a
friend who lives near there and thought it would be fun for a
trip. Really, attending Whofest is what solidified my passion
for the show, and for conventions. After going to that
convention, I was excited to start creating costumes inspired
by the show."
So Amanda do you have a favorite companion? And if you do why?
"It's hard to answer the question, "Who is your favorite
Doctor/Companion?". Just like trying to choose between your
favorite kids...I mean, when you dedicate so much of your
love, devotion, and appreciation to a fandom...you might love
every Doctor and companion in their own way. I will say,
though, that the one companion whose appearance on
screen never fails to engage me is River Song. Something
about Alex Kingston's portrayal is simply riveting. This is not
a performance that I could let "go on" in the background
while I'm doing dishes. If River's on screen, she's got my
attention!"
Amanda not only has AMAZING Doctor cosplays but she has been doing an awesome job with her Year of the Companion Cosplay!
So Amanda, what is your favorite cosplay that you have created?
"My favorite costume so far is the renaissance gown that was
inspired by the TARDIS. I put a lot of love and time into that
dress and it has been extraordinarily fun to wear to
giving 100% of the sale price to the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, so watch for that!
I also really loved the process of creating the War Doctor's
costume, which my husband wears. That one involved
painting clothes, which is really fun."
But dont think that Blundergirl Whovian is strictly a Doctor Who Cosplayer..... Although, it is by far my favorite thing she does. I love to see how she interprets the characters from my favorite show!
She also shows her love for a few more favorites.
Her and her husband love to show their Slytherian House Pride!
Dont forget the LOTR, that is Lord of the Rings, for anyone who doesnt speak my favorite language! The language of the NERD!!!
In February Amanda contacted me to see if I could create a Elfish circlet for her Galadriel cosplay. Of course I was all in! Here is her finished project!
Amanda even made her husband a Thorin Oakenshield Cosplay.
And you cant forget Game of Thrones... now can you?
Yes Amanda does that as well. Below is her Daenerys Targaryen.
The dress was made by Casey July and I created the belt, beads, and the shoulder pieces for it. But Amanda brought it to life with her dragon egg and her fun loving spirit!
Thanks Amanda for always being so awesome and for being a good friend. I can not wait to see what is next.... BTW, idea for next year, Monsters of Doctor Who!!
