Sci-Fi Fangirl
Back in 2013, I created an outfit to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. I liked the idea but I needed to revise it if I wanted to wear it again. It worked, but I knew I could do better. That is when the Sci-Fi Fangirl was born.
I wanted to create outfits that celebrate my favorite science fiction franchises: Doctor Who and Star Trek. I realized that in order to keep celebrating Doctor Who, I would need to make 2 separate outfits. So I decided to make the two eras - 20th century and 21st century - the dividing line. Otherwise I'd be a Christmas tree, cluttered with over 15 Doctors in one outfit. Star Trek also started out as one outfit, but as the streaming series kept coming, I realized I needed to make a new outfit for the streaming series so they would get equal representation. It's been a fun journey creating the outfits for this character. As well as coming to the realization that it's all one person and portraying her as such. |
