This past weekend was our sixth anniversary! So the Hubby decided to surprise me with tickets to Toronto’s FanExpo!
I was inches away from the most spectacular John Rhys Davies (Indiana Jones, LOTR), Alan Tudyk (Firefly), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Lou Ferrigno (THE Hulk) and John Barrowman (Torchwood). Inches!
I could have gone for the, “these are not the droids you’re looking for” pose — but last minute pulled a Fay Wray.
We listened to John Barrowman give a Q&A where he spoke about fighting against LGTBQ stereotypes in media representations, and serenaded the audience with Phantom’s “All I Ask of You” in a fan duet.
The entire day was amazing and totally worth going just to see all of the fantastic people in costume.
I have future plans to market this as the “Dalek Burqa.”
Eryn was wary of the Stormtroopers, but was excited to see any and all robots, faeries, furries, and of course, The Doctor.
Ivy and my “official companions” pose.
I love these two. I actually recognized this Doctor from online pictures of him at another convention — and was quite happy to find him in Toronto. The TARDIS costume is also one of the best I have ever seen. Well done and welcome to Internet fame (again)!
Finally, a little eye candy.
Just as I pulled Ivy from the sling, John looked at me and took a swig from his water bottle. Our eyes met and he raised his eyebrows with my-mouth-is-full-of-water-so-here’s-some-raised-eyebrows-in-lieu-of-a-smile. *melt*

Love. I wish your pics enlarged when I clicked them. That’s an excellent David Tennant/10. So cool! Love the Dalek burka idea haha. I always think there isn’t much geeky costume love for muhajabas. I was always a dementor/Voldemort at HP book releases. Guess I just need to think outside the box, (or in the box, i guess bc you could def do a TARDIS burka too)

[...] As a Whovian, I’m totally, blissfully overwhelmed and excited about all of the Doctor Who cultural cues woven into the fabric of time and space here. Doctor Who posters, billboards, merchandise, and clothing are everywhere — from the supermarket to the vending machines. Matt Smith (who plays the current Doctor) was even filming part of the 50th Anniversary special at Trafalgar Square while we landed at the airport. That’s almost as exciting as having John Barrowman smile at me. [...]
